Shockin' City Tattoo & Piercing Studio is a family-run studio in Vienna, founded by Waldemar Wahn in 1990 when tattooing was still largely underground and relocated from Bad Ischl to larger premises in Burggasse 63 to gain more space for oil paintings, sculptures and high hygiene standards. In 2007 his daughter, artist Osa Wahn, took over the management and continues to run the studio as a prospering atelier and gallery. The studio also offers professional tattoo courses and additional internships for course graduates.

Fili is described as the little sweet mouse who stirs up the studio, the supreme overlady and a future hope for the world and the tattoo scene.
Osa Wahn is the current studio owner and a highly sought-after artist, as evidenced by the long waiting times for tattoo appointments with her. She inherited her talent from her father and mentor, Waldemar Wahn, and under his guidance she has been allowed to practice tattooing as a fine art from her earliest years, working entirely without catalog patterns and templates.
Studio founder and former studio owner Waldemar Wahn, also known as Waldi, is dedicated not only to tattooing but mainly to creating diverse art objects such as metal sculptures, architecture and interior design, as well as oil painting. He is one of the few tattoo pioneers in Austria who gained experience with tattooing already at the end of the 1980s. Unlike most tattooists, he has never worked with fixed templates but has always created unique pieces adapted to the body, musculature and movement, prefers today to tattoo people from his closest circle of friends and keeps the consumerist world at a distance as much as possible.
