Kevin Platzer, known to German reality TV viewers as Flocke, has tattoos across his neck, chest, arms, hands and legs. The collection combines heavy blackwork with lettering, a chest figure and smaller hand designs.
In a 2025 interview with BLICK, he explained why several of the tattoos matter to him and how he chose others.
Who Flocke Is
Platzer first appeared as Flocke in Berlin Tag & Nacht in 2019. He later featured in First Dates Hotel, Temptation Island VIP, B:Real, The 50 and Forsthaus Rampensau.
The CRIMINEL Tattoo
CRIMINEL covers his right thigh above dense ornamental blackwork. Flocke told BLICK it recalls his time on the streets of Berlin, when he spent time in circles he described as not always clean, sometimes criminal. He said he learned from that period; the tattoo marks his past without glorifying it.
The thick lettering is easy to read, with dark ornament framing the word from below.
The BESTE LEBEN Tattoo
BESTE LEBEN sits on his lower leg. Flocke described it as a reminder to make the most of each moment and switch off from stress. When he looks at it, he imagines relaxing on a beach under a palm tree.
The words sit inside larger blackwork on the leg, so the phrase is part of a wider collection rather than a stand-alone piece.
LOVE and the Hand Pieces
LOVE spans the fingers of his left hand. He calls it the most important word, a reminder of his love for family, friends and the work he does.
He said the dollar sign on his ring finger reflects his love of the U.S. The Ushuaïa logo on his middle finger recalls an Ibiza trip and nights out; the small tomato on his index finger was a spontaneous Mallorca tattoo.
The close-up shows the lettering and symbols packed across the fingers. Some edges have softened, but the designs remain readable.
The Chest Figure
Flocke describes the large figure on his upper left chest as a warrior. It reaches toward his shoulder. He told BLICK he didn’t know who she was; he chose the design because he found her attractive. He also said it was about the moment and how it felt, not a deeper story.
The face has softer shading, with heavier black shapes around it and older lettering farther down the chest.
What the Collection Says
The portrait here is contextual rather than a tattoo close-up. The other images show the work itself, from large areas of blackwork to short phrases and small hand designs.
Blackwork gives some pieces a visual link, but Flocke doesn’t describe every tattoo as part of one story. Some have a personal meaning; others were chosen for their look or the moment.
Final Take
For design ideas, notice the contrast: heavy blackwork covers large areas, while the words and small hand symbols stay readable.
