# summary
Olli Rose has long since made a name for himself in Essen’s cultural scene. Fans of his tattoo art wait up to two years for an appointment at the studio he opened in 1997 on Franziskanerstraße in the Südostviertel—originally named "Force & Fire" and since renamed "Tattoo-Art-Labor." He is also a renowned German urban art and graffiti artist, best known for his large-scale murals in public spaces across Essen and the entire Ruhr region. Themes of death and transience run like a common thread through Olli Rose’s entire body of work; he powerfully translates classic vanitas and *memento mori* motifs onto human skin, large-scale canvases, and urban concrete surfaces alike.
