Marius Bosman started his tattooing carreer
in 1992 under the watchful eye of
Tattoo Johnny, one of the most notorious
original Tattooist from Cape Town. With Johnnys Old-school influence and Marius’s
eagerness to learn and advance his skills, Marius
Bosman quickly became a well known name under
Tattoo Collectors and enthusiasts nation wide. Marius Bosman opened the very first Tattoo studios

in the History of both Stellenbosch and The Helderberg
in the Western Cape, putting him on the map as
one of the pioneers of Tattooing and Piercing
in South Africa. In 2002 Marius Bosman became the very first
South African to receive a bursary through the
International Association of Professional Piercers

where he achieved the status of “Master Piercer”
During this time he also spend a lot of time with
European extreme performing artist “Ginge”, who
taught Marius the extreme art of “Human Suspension”,
Implants and various other forms of Extreme Body
Modification. On his return to South Africa, Marius hosted the first
live Human Body Suspension on TV as part of the
very popular Tv Show - “Free Spirit”
Marius Bosman has certainly become a
household name in the Tattoo and Piercing Industry
in South Africa and still continues every day to
promote safe and sterile tattoo conditions, new
tattoo styles and methods and advancing the
Tattoo and Piercing trade in any way
possible to him.
