Oshun

oshun.space ↗ ·Barcelona ·Pre-seed

Oshun (legal entity Oshun Skin S.L.) is a Barcelona-based startup built around the body art / tattoo sector. It launched as a digitally-native marketplace — a 'Booking for tattoos' — letting users book verified professionals for tattoos, piercings, micropigmentation and laser removal, and has since pivoted its public positioning to an experiential marketing agency that connects brands with tattoo culture through activations, official tattoo collections and temporary tattoos (clients cited include Puma, FC Barcelona, Adidas, Cupra and Monster Energy). It is a very small company (2-10 employees) that raised roughly €150k in a seed round announced in 2023; its funding came from individual business angels rather than institutional VC funds.
