Skinwork Tattoo & Piercing GmbH (Zürich)

Sanem and Ronny the owners of Skinwork Tattoo & Piercing have been working together since 2001.

After completing his zoo salesman apprenticeship and training as a zookeeper, Ronny has used the opportunity offered to him and started training as a piercer in the then first Giahi Shop.Sanem was then still a customer and colleague of the owners of the store, due to the sympathy to each other quickly became a close friendship. It did not take long and Sanem also dared to take the step after her completed structural engineering apprenticeship to start training as a piercer at Giahi.

At that time, the business in Switzerland was really flourishing and it was not long before a second store was opened. After a few years as store manager at Giahi, the owners parted ways and after Ronny left the company, Sanem also left shortly after. After a year break in the industry, they were asked to help build the 2nd Skin Piercing and Tattoo Group. Since the subject of tattoo and piercing was no longer just a profession but a vocation, both accepted the unique offer.

Also then, it went steeply uphill and they planned, built and managed the six branches that were opened in the five years with 2nd Skin. As life so plays, arose through different parameters the possibility after so many years with the two most prestigious labels in Zurich the step to dare to make your own label independently. Due to the experience of the last years and the involvement in the opening of more than seven stores, it was clear to the two what they wanted to implement in their own concept and decided to bring Skinwork into being and founded their own company.

The two are also very proud that most of their employees decided to go the way with them and to face the new challenge of implementing the visions of Skinwork. A main concern of the two founders and the team of Skinwork is, after so many years with the largest providers in the matter of tattoo and piercing, to get a little back to the roots and to put the focus on the personal and individual advice and service.

For this reason, the Skinwork team cordially invites you to welcome you in their store. Let yourself be inspired by the great artists, one of the largest piercing jewelry assortment and of course the many great jewelry labels.
