“Gunnar has been a true inspiration in the tattoo industry for literal generations and more specifically my own journey. He has a passion for pushing the boundaries of art, he not only creates stunning, meaningful work but has also lifted up others in the community. Since day one of meeting Gunnar his generosity, and creativity have left a lasting impact on me and everyone he has ever worked with. I have huge memories of seeing his work in magazines early in my career and I still can’t believe I get to call him a friend. Truly one of the greats.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting and getting tattooed by Gunnar last year, and it was an incredible experience. Not only did I leave with an amazing piece of art, but I also got to know a genuinely kind soul—someone who’s not only a great storyteller but also has a wealth of knowledge as both an artist and a tattooer. In June, I had the opportunity to work with Gunnar again when he attended and presented at the tattoo convention I host in West Palm Beach, Florida. He was professional, punctual, and remains a true pillar of the art community. I’m grateful for the chance to have worked with him over the past couple of years and look forward to more collaborations in the future.”

“I eagerly anticipate seeing what Gunnar is creating, he’s constantly pushing the limits of tattooing and fine art. Still reinventing & remaining true to the craft and himself! A true inspiration!”
Brett Herman: Professional Tattoo Artist/ Gallery Artist
“Gunnar was one of the artists I remember seeing in tattoo magazines when I started 18 years ago. His style always stuck out as super unique and inspiring. After meeting him in person in the last few years I can say that he’s a lovely human who’s still pushing his art and cares about giving back to the community with his teaching. He’s also a gentle, warm soul who is attentive and patient with his clients.”
Sandy M. Professional Tattoo artist/ educator/ host Reinventing The Tattoo
“Gunnar is one of the most knowledgeable dudes on all kinds of aspects of life, but he especially shines in art. From day one of meeting him he’s been so helpful in taking me under his wing and teaching me the background of tattooing and art in a way that I would never have seen through someone else’s eyes. He’s an innovator and a craftsman of the trade. He sees things in a different light and really makes you rethink the process of how you do art and I appreciate every moment of it.”
“Gunnar’s been an inspiration for me as early as 2012 when I first started pursuing a career in tattooing. From fan-girling and admiring his early work, to working side by side with him in a shop and events. Getting work done by him and being mentored years later into my career; Being able to travel and catch him in different parts of the country to attend seminars, or an occasional bite to eat. Gunnar is a hero turned friend that I truly had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know on a personal level. A huge staple for me in my career and artistic life as I continue to learn and still get inspired by years later.”
