About Max Verago

Max Verago

Classical art and sculpture are among my strongest sources of inspiration. I am drawn to their sense of form, depth and storytelling, and I bring these qualities into my work as a tattoo artist.

My work is not tied to one theme. Alongside classical art I work with Japanese-inspired motifs, Chicano influences and whatever you bring. What connects every project is the composition: one coherent form that flows across the body.

I create individual tattoos as well as sleeves, back pieces, leg projects and other large-scale work. Nine years in, I have learned one thing: you give me the direction and the idea — I create the beautiful drawing, that is my job.

The process

Every project starts with a conversation, not with a finished design. Tell me what you like and where the tattoo should sit.

  1. 01

    Idea & references

    You do not need a finished concept. Tell me what you like, where the tattoo should sit and send a few references — even if it is only a rough direction. If you like my work, we will find the right motif together.

  2. 02

    Direction & sketch

    For large projects (sleeve, back, leg) I send you a preliminary direction about a week before. That is a sketch, not a finished design: it shows the direction of our future work. The final drawing is made in the studio.

  3. 03

    Final drawing & start

    On the day we adjust proportions and details together to your anatomy. You see the final drawing, we agree on it – then we start.

  4. 04

    Sessions & aftercare

    How many sessions it takes becomes clear as we work. After every session you get a clear aftercare guide. Full aftercare instructions

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions. If yours is not here, message me on WhatsApp.

How is the price calculated?
One day is €950. From 2 consecutive days it is €800 per day.
How long does a large project take?
From experience: full sleeve 7–8 days, full back 8–10 days, torso or leg 10–12 days. I normally stay within that range. To make that work I plan each session at around 8 hours — a full working day. Shorter sessions stretch the project out. If the timeline overruns because of my planning, I do the remaining days free of charge.
Do I see the design before the appointment?
It varies. For large projects I send a preliminary direction about a week before – a sketch, not a finished design. For one- or two-day pieces I draw on the day itself. The final drawing is always made together in the studio. Look at my portfolio: if you like how those pieces look, that is exactly how they came about.
How does the deposit work?
€50 per booked day. It secures your date and is deducted from the total. Dates are not reserved without a deposit.
I want a big project in a short time but live far away — is that possible?
Yes, and that is how most of my clients come for large projects. You book several consecutive days, travel once and go home with a large part of the work finished. Many manage 4–6 days in a row without problems, so the trip does not stretch over months. It is better value too: from 2 consecutive days every day costs €800 instead of €950.
Where do sessions take place?
The studio is in central Cologne. I work by appointment only, so you get the exact address when you book — on WhatsApp, together with confirmation of your dates.
Do I need to come in for a consultation first?
A face-to-face consultation is not necessary. We settle almost everything on WhatsApp: idea, placement, size and dates. That works well for both of us — everything stays visible and I can come back to details at any time. If you would like to meet me first, we can arrange a short video call on WhatsApp.
How many consecutive days can I book?
As many as your project needs — and as many as you feel comfortable with during a session. From 2 consecutive days every day gets cheaper: €800 instead of €950.
