Linda creates artwork using dental tools. - Dental helper by day, evening sculptor of animal skulls
Decorative teeth may not be what you're thinking of. Instead, the Saxon could be deemed Germany's solitary skull artist!
A woman from Auerbach, Saxony, narrates this story. She has a five-year-old and shared her recent experience. Half a year ago, she visited her preferred tattoo studio in Plauen. They wanted to gift her a bouquet of menacing flowers because crafting is one of her passions.
Fuchs-Schädel set the trend
Creativity kicked in, and an idea took shape - a skull. With a drill from the dental field, she transformed a fox skull. Marking the birth of her artistic endeavours! What's ironic, the drill sounds like at the dentist's.
Then came Linda's obsession with skulls and bones. "I easily find them online," she reveals, especially deer antlers.
Love for her craft has extended to online marketplaces. She sells her skulls with ornate designs - desirable primarily among gothic, rock, and metal fans. Average selling price: EUR 100 per piece. Linda boasts being Germany's sole "Dark Work" artist of this niche, researched this fact. Rarity transcends borders, only Australia and the Czech Republic have similar artists.
The Plauen tattoo studio is gratified by Linda Meichner's skull art. They now sport a tattoo of Hannibal Lecter, the film's villain - monstrous and unique, just like her passion. The artist chuckles, "Not everyone has Hannibal Lecter on their arm. My hobby is as extraordinary as my tattoo."
