In the Mantra Tattoo & Piercing Atelier in Mannheim, every work of art, engraved on the skin, tells a story.
But what about the history of this place itself?
Behind the buzzing of the machines and the glow of vivid colors, there is a rich history, a common vision and the passion of the people who have made this creative space a thriving studio that it is today.
We invite you to take a look behind the scenes and discover the journey of the Mantra Tattoo & Piercing Atelier – a journey based on dedication, artistry and a deep commitment to our customers.
From vision to reality: the founding story
The Mantra Tattoo & Piercing Atelier is not just a company, but the realization of a long-cherished dream.
The foundation stone for the studio was laid by Abhinandan ‘Obi’ Basu and Janine Ziegner, two people whose shared passion for art, culture and precise craftsmanship came together to create a truly unique place in Mannheim.
Obi, as many of you know from our previous post, is a world-renowned tattoo artist that turns every body into a canvas, combining art and personality.
His journey, which took him from the side streets of Behala to international conventions, gave him not only extraordinary artistic skills, but also a deep understanding of the tattoo industry and the vision of a studio that stands for quality and artistic integrity.
Janine Ziegner, a talented artist and piercer in the Mantra Tattoo & Piercing Atelier, is a true master of her trade. Your professionalism ensures a pleasant and comfortable tattoo process and she knows how to help customers find the perfect tattoo design that truly reflects their personality.
Together, their complementary skills and their joint commitment formed the foundation on which the Mantra Tattoo & Piercing Atelier was built.
Her goal was clear: to create a first-class place where craftsmanship meets precision and where every customer’s vision can be brought to life in a safe and inspiring environment.
The heart of the studio: our local artists and our philosophy
The living soul of the Mantra Tattoo & Piercing Atelier is undoubtedly its team of local artists, supported by a clear philosophy focused on individual expression and customer satisfaction.
Each artist brings his unique flair, special techniques and artistic philosophy to contribute to the studio’s diverse range of styles.

Our esteemed house artist, known worldwide for his signature ‘Bongo style’, a contemporary fusion of traditional Indian/Bengal folk art.
