Big, striking blackwork you won't see anywhere else — a style we've shaped since 2006, priced fairly and booked without the long wait.
More than just a tattoo studio
Psyland25 was founded by Little Swastika — a German tattoo artist who became known worldwide in the early 2000s and inspired a whole genre of abstract tattooing, famous for record-sized group projects like the LOVE tattoo across four backs and The Third Dimension across ten. Around 2019 she stepped back from professional tattooing to focus fully on art, film and building this place, and today she lives and creates as Lily Lu.
What grew here is more than a studio. Out in the countryside near Lake Constance, an old farmhouse and its land became a private gallery and an alternative home for a small, close-knit crew — Basti, Dorsch, Nikolas, Lily and the guest artists who pass through. Abstract blackwork is our signature, but body modification, suspension and ritual are just as much part of daily life.
For us a tattoo is an experience, not just decoration — the pain, the moment, the atmosphere and the people around you are all part of it. That's why so many who come for a session end up leaving as part of the place.
Psyland25 is a living, ever-changing piece of art in itself — built by the artists who work here, out in the countryside near Lake Constance. The atmosphere alone tends to change what people expect from a tattoo studio.
We even run our own small guesthouse on site, so clients travelling for a session can stay, relax and become part of the place for a while — not just visitors passing through. Our focus for tattoo work is abstract blackwork: confident black fills, negative space and organic-geometric shapes that read as art first, tattoo second.
Here you find usAbstract blackwork that reads as art first — a style our founder helped put on the world map.
Scarification, body modification, suspension & ritual — all under one roof.
More art project than studio — a countryside farmhouse and private gallery you can actually live in while you're inked.
Personal consultation and pricing agreed up front — then pay per session and get tattooed as long as you can hold out. No clock running.
We don't decorate skin. We don't watch the clock. We don't do ordinary.
We make abstract blackwork as art and body-mod as craft — in a place built to keep life insane.
"Just got back from a short session at Psyland 25 — an experience like no other! It feels like home, the place is beautiful, it has a real identity, and you feel comfortable right away. I was in the expert hands of Lily Lu, an incredibly kind person!"
"Absolutely wonderful place — every building is handmade, every decoration. The tattoos and scarifications turned out really well. Thank you Basti and Nikolas! Awesome place, will 100% visit more often."
"Lily Lu / Lil Swastika and their troupe of ritual psychenauts are an inspiration and an innovative team of leaders in the fringe arts, modern primitivist and Body Modification communities!"

"Pain and awesome tattoos!"
"Always a pleasure — going to Psyland is simply an awesome experience."
"It's not my first time here — this time was short, but it's always a nice time out. It's one of my favorite places."
"The guys are crazy — they make the best bodysuits I've ever seen. Their designs are very forward-thinking."
Real reviews from our Google profile.
A tattoo is a lifelong decision. That's why we answer every question honestly — before any machine ever runs.
Not every motif needs solid black fills and abstract, flowing shapes. We'll tell you honestly when the style pays off — and when a different approach fits better.
We're all fully tattooed and live this lifestyle ourselves — we don't just do the job, we've lived every part of it. You'll see our full portfolio, speak directly with your artist and get an individual concept, made with real love and passion — never a design pulled off the wall.
Abstract blackwork thrives on bold negative space and confident linework. We plan size, placement and density so your piece ages with character. Not sure if you'll still look good in 10 years — but your tattoo will 😄
We calculate transparently based on effort, not guesswork. You'll get a realistic price estimate during your consultation — no surprises afterwards. And for bigger projects like a full sleeve or a backpiece, we offer fixed package deals — so you know exactly what it costs before we even start.
Make a big project a proper getaway: dive into our world for a few days and go home with a full sleeve or a full backpiece. Days off, sessions on — an out-of-reality trip with fresh ink to keep.

Reach out right here — through the contact form or straight on WhatsApp. Send us your info, photos, ideas and story; even just a feeling is enough. We gather it all, then get back to you personally.
In a personal conversation we develop motif, style and placement together. You get an individual concept — designed just for you and your body.
Your artist brings the design to life — with sterile equipment, full focus, and the time a piece that lasts actually needs. Staying over? Our on-site guesthouse has you covered.
Some of our work goes far beyond a single session on a single body — these are the projects we're proudest of.
The ultimate commitment: the whole body turned into one continuous abstract blackwork canvas — chest, back, arms and legs woven into a single design. Grown over many long sessions across months and years, with Basti and Little Swastika among the few who take it this far.
Two artists, two hands, one shared design — a spontaneous collaboration that turned into one of our most talked-about pieces.
A signature technique Little Swastika invented and kept developing over the years: two back pieces designed as one continuous artwork across two people — abstract blackwork that only completes when they stand back to back. Today artists like Basti carry it on and create their own.
The last form of tattooing Lily still does: a slow, personal ritual — usually outdoors, away from the studio. It starts with a real conversation and becomes a unique protective symbol in her own abstract language, meant to remind you of your path. Donation-based, inspired by Sak-Yant temple tattooing.
One single tattoo, planned and designed by our founder, tattooed across ten people in one continuous 33-hour session by four artists working together.
A 2015 ritual collaboration with the band Amenra and the Church of Ra — three back pieces tattooed live, inspired by their artwork and set to their music, alongside a Berlin exhibition and a stage suspension ritual.
One of Little Swastika's record-setting group pieces: a single LOVE design tattooed across the backs of four people — complete only when the four stand together.
For over two decades our work and our record-breaking projects have been featured in tattoo and body-art magazines, art books and on television — across Germany, the UK, Spain, Scandinavia, the US, Australia and beyond.
…plus TV documentaries and YouTube features on some of the world's biggest tattoo & art channels.
A big, heavy old tattoo doesn't mean you're stuck with it. Solid blackwork is the cleanest reset there is — instead of fighting the old ink, we build a bold new piece straight over it: deep black fills, negative space and geometry that turn years of clutter into one deliberate design. It takes a few sessions, but the result is a real new start, not a patch-up.
PSYLAND25 is one of very few places in South Germany where extreme body modification lives right next to tattooing — carried out by experienced artists, in a calm and private setting, with your safety and consent first. Some procedures are done by trusted guest artists on specific dates.
Not sure what suits you — or looking for something not on the list? Tell us in a free, no-pressure consultation. Every modification starts with an honest talk about safety, aftercare and what your body can take.
Abstract blackwork uses bold, solid black fills combined with negative space, organic and geometric shapes. It creates striking, graphic pieces that read as art first — without relying on colour or fine realism.
No. A rough idea, a feeling, or a reference image is enough. We develop the right concept together during your consultation.
Yes — Psyland25 runs its own small guesthouse, so if you're travelling for a session you can stay, relax and become part of the place rather than just passing through.
Yes. Blackwork's bold contrast makes it especially well suited to integrating or fully reworking existing tattoos.
Tattoo and art workshops run under tattoo-workshop25.com, and our merch and webshop live at psy25.com — both linked in the menu above.
A no-obligation consultation is all it takes to find out if abstract blackwork is the right language for your idea.
