Edvin Tedebring is a Swedish tattoo artist renowned for his unique style, combining abstract and semi-realistic elements. His journey into tattooing began during his teenage years, inspired by shows like “Miami Ink,” which sparked his passion for body art. Tedebring holds a degree in Digital Media Production, which allowed him to merge his love for technology and design with tattoo art. He started his tattoo apprenticeship in 2017, refining his craft by integrating elements of graphic design and digital artistry into his tattoos. His artistic style can be described as abstract black-and-grey with semi-realistic touches. Texture, flow, and contrast are key elements in his work. He draws inspiration from legendary abstract painters like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Franz Kline, whose bold and unconventional approaches continue to influence him.
Edvin is known for his freehand tattooing technique, creating designs directly on the skin without using stencils. This method ensures that each tattoo perfectly complements the client’s body. During consultations, he carefully listens to his clients’ stories and emotions, incorporating personal touches into the design. He often combines abstract elements with facial features, adding depth and meaning to his work.
Currently based at Dropout Collective in Copenhagen, Tedebring collaborates with a team of talented tattoo artists specializing in various styles. The city’s dynamic energy and culture have a significant impact on his creative process. Looking ahead, Edvin aims to push the boundaries of abstract tattoo art further. He envisions collaborations with brands in fields like fashion, interior design, and jewelry, and hopes to bring greater recognition to abstract tattooing on a global scale.
