Simone was practically born with a drawing pen in hand. Her parents are both very good artists and encouraged her talent early on. After school, she studied fashion design and then pursued her career as an illustrator.

To learn how to tattoo, she spent a long time looking for a mentor to teach her the basics. But she only gained real knowledge through countless guest spots. Inspired by artists such as Grace Neutral, she realised that she should do her own thing and plucked up the courage to incorporate her experience as a fashion designer and passionate illustrator into her tattooing style.

"Things take time and people have lost patience. But that's part of it, trust the process."

Simone is fully committed to illustrative blackwork in her own unique style. For some time now, she has been the proud owner of her own tattoo studio - Chrom 6, where she works with tattoo artist friends and guest artists in the middle of Berlin.
