It started with a clothing shop, which then became a tattoo studio. The company now has 3 tattoo studios of its own, plus 18 studios in franchises in 4 different countries. Tattoo Fashion sees the light of day.
Anyone who knows Mads Kristensen personally knows that this man lives for his work.
So it was already clear to most of his inner circle that this was not the end of the story.
This is how the dream of a discotheque came about. Everything went its way and on 5 March 2016 the Study Lounge had its grand reopening party. The small club shone in new splendour and with a new owner, Mads Kristensen.
The step into gastronomy was taken. Four years later, the next one was to follow. Since 1993, many Flensburgers have spent their nights in the cult pub "Rock Café" and in 2020 a new era began. Mads bought the Rock Café, it was modernised & given new life again. After several weeks of hard work, the Rock Café opened for the first time under Mads Kristensen on 14.03.2020.
Tattoo Fashion, Study Lounge & Rock Café are not the only mainstays. Together with his father, Mads has been running a successful real estate business in Denmark for several years, which is now being expanded to Germany.
Besides his work, sport is another very important part of his everyday life.
Mads started martial arts at the age of 10. Three years later, at the age of 13, he stood in the ring for the first time. At that time he fought MMA & K1. Later he switched to boxing, where he was even able to fight a professional fight.
He no longer enters the ring, but continues to train regularly, as he now supports other fighters on their way into the ring as a coach.
