about us
he Body Electric opened on January 2nd, 1996, since
more than 13 years. It was the first professional Tattoo
studio in the Viersen area. Owner of the studio is
Andreas Schmidt, born 1965 and the first man at the
needle. Since then he had 2 passions : his art and ...Rock
´n Roll.
After several years of experience with airbrushing he
became a competant tattoo artist. With a great success,
if you trust his customers and numerous german and
international trophies. Andy´s specialities are New
School, japanese style and black and grey pieces, also
portraits, of course. Andy´s opinion is, that you should
know, and be familiar with almost any style before you
start to create your own. Most important is, says Andy,
that
there always enough coffee at hand and
Rock ´n Roll in the background. Thats the only way to
work and be relaxed. Andrea is piercer from the very
first day, also the second tattoo artist in the studio.
She learned the handling of the needles from the start (which
may explain Andy´s lose of hair) and you can call her
the tribal and ornamentic specialist in the studio.
Third in line is Nicole, imported from Frankfurt area.
Her difficult job is to be the good soul of the Body
Electric and, as if thats not enough, she has to stand
Andy in private aswell. She cares for the customers
tattoo and answers tattoo and piercing questions, and
has to bring Andy´s coffee some dozen times a day. To
say it short, shes doing anything Andy and Andrea dont have the time to do, which they notice especially every
monday, when Nicoles not in the studio,. Both girls
have one thing in common: They cant stand to hear
Andy´s Rock ´n Roll anymore... Since 1999 Body Eectric is
member of the DOT, which is, by the way a very
interesting page for people interested in tattooes... In
spring 2004 the UETA was founded on the Frankfurt
convention, the first european tattoo artist association,
of which Andy is vice president. This association cares
for the interests of tattoo artists on an international
level, especially regarding the EU laws coming from
Brusselles. Those, who are interested can visit the link
and will find the hygene standards the UETA wants for
the union. You are invited to visit our studio and feel
the private and unique atmosphere. Besides, we have
coffee enough.....
