Co-founder and Chief Artistic OfficerMikael Rämgård
Mikael Rämgård is the co-founder and Chief Artistic Officer of SKINGRAPHICA®. He founded the company in Sydney in 2025 with Mat Baxter, with one aim. Build the skincare tattooed skin deserves, made to the standard of the art it carries.
Mikael leads the art. That means artistic direction, creative campaigns, photography and artist-led content, and the company's relationships with the global tattoo community, from artist collaborations and studio partnerships to the Featured Artist series in ICONICA.
Before SKINGRAPHICA
17 years at the chair.
Mikael was born in Borlänge, Sweden, and began tattooing in 2009 at Fetto Tattoo. In 2012 he co-founded Lighthouse Tattoo Parlour. Conventions and guest spots took him around the world, including a year at Underground Ink in London in 2016.
He moved to Sydney in 2017 to join The Tattoo Movement, then opened his own private studio in 2023, now Studio Rämgård. He is known for black and grey realism, portraiture and surrealism, and for precision, detail and composition. His work has been recognised at international tattoo conventions and featured in tattoo industry publications.
Over 17 years at the chair he saw the same thing again and again. Artists put hours into a piece, then hand it over to aftercare that was never designed for the art. SKINGRAPHICA is his answer, and it is now his main focus.
Mikael is based in Sydney. He still tattoos at Studio Rämgård, alongside leading international guest artists and a loyal client base. Staying at the chair keeps him close to the craft as it evolves, and keeps SKINGRAPHICA rooted in the community it was built for.
