About me
My name is Asaf Rayfer – also known as TJ – and I am a professional tattoo artist and visual creator, active in the field since 2015. I specialize in colorful, vibrant tattoos, but my experience and artistic range extend across various styles, including realism, cartoon, neotraditional, and more.
Each tattoo I design is tailor-made and uniquely personal. I believe that a tattoo is more than just art – it’s a story. That’s why I work closely with each client to create meaningful, original designs that reflect their individuality and vision.
I am currently based near Cologne, Germany, and frequently participate in tattoo conventions and pop culture events across Europe, including renowned festivals like Comic Con. These events allow me to share my passion, stay inspired, and connect with a broader creative community.
In addition to tattooing, I am the founder and designer of TJ Caps – a streetwear brand that reflects my colorful personality and love for bold, expressive aesthetics.
If you're looking for artistic professionalism with a personal touch – you’re in the right place.
My ink & style
Vibrant Color Tattoos
Color is my specialty. From soft gradients to bold, saturated hues, I bring tattoos to life with rich, dynamic color work. Whether it's a small accent or a full sleeve, I’m passionate about making your tattoo pop with lasting vibrancy.
Black and Grey
While color remains my primary specialty, I also hold a deep appreciation for the timeless elegance of black and grey tattooing.
With a strong focus on contrast, shading, and precision, I create refined monochromatic pieces that capture emotion, texture, and depth. Whether it's a minimalist design or a complex composition, black and grey work allows me to tell powerful visual stories through subtle nuance and technique.
TJ Caps
TJ Caps is a unique cap brand born from a love of urban aesthetics and a colorful lifestyle. Each cap combines elements of graphic art, tattoo-inspired designs, and a sense of freedom and creativity. The brand reflects my vibrant personality and brings the energetic vibe of skate and street culture to everyone who wears it.
