About the Artist – Bernhard Schneckenleitner

🎨 From Tattoo Artist to Web3 Visionary

My name is Bernhard Schneckenleitner, born on January 21, 1983, in Austria. Since childhood, I have been passionate about manual craftsmanship and drawing. After finishing school, I completed an apprenticeship in construction and metalworking and earned my journeyman certificates.

After my military service, I decided to work abroad, traveling as far as Mexico to gain experience and earn money. No matter where I was, I always carried a sketchbook with me, capturing my thoughts and ideas—a way to express my creativity.

Once I had saved enough, I invested in private training as a tattoo artist and piercer at a renowned German tattoo studio. That’s where I discovered my true passion for art. After several years, I opened my own tattoo and piercing studio in my hometown Steyr, Austria.

For many years, I built a successful career as a tattoo artist—creating countless designs, earning a loyal client base, and constantly improving my craft. But everything changed in 2020.

👶 My Son – My Greatest Pride

In 2012, my son was born—the happiest day of my life.
Since 2014, I have been co-parenting with his mother, living in a week-on, week-off arrangement. He is my center of life and the most important person to me.

💙 He is my greatest pride and shares my passion for crypto and art.
💙 At just 4 years old, he tattooed me for the first time—a moment I will cherish forever.
💙 Since then, every year on my birthday, he gives me a new tattoo.
💙 He finds NFTs fascinating and dreams of launching his own NFT collection one day.

🐶 Smiley – My Loyal Companion & Inspiration for Crypto Bully

At the end of 2014, my son’s mother left me. Just a few weeks later, Smiley unexpectedly came into my life. In early 2015, I drove from Austria to England to pick her up—she was only 9 weeks old.

From that moment on, my son, Smiley, and I were an unbreakable team. She wasn’t just a dog—she was family.

🔹 A Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a heart of gold:
💙 Loving, loyal, and endlessly affectionate.
💙 Cuddle-obsessed, playful, and yet a reliable protector.
💙 Always by our side, through every challenge and adventure.

Sadly, Smiley passed away in September 2022 due to illness—but her love, character, and memories will live on forever.

🐾 Crypto Bully was created in Smiley’s memory, with love and passion. This collection is a tribute to dogs with big hearts—loyal companions who love and protect their owners unconditionally.

🔄 A Turning Point: The Pandemic & My Web3 Journey

When COVID-19 hit, I was forced to close my tattoo studio for an extended period. Instead of seeing this as a setback, I used the time to fully immerse myself in the world of crypto and Web3.

I had been active in crypto since 2017, but NFTs were still uncharted territory for me. With the extra time during lockdowns, I dove deep, realizing the immense potential of blockchain technology.

👉 NFTs are more than digital collectibles—they can have real-world utility.
👉 Merging digital art with the physical world became my ultimate goal.

🚀 Digital Lisa Club – My Full-Time Web3 Project

At the end of last year (2023), I made a bold decision: I shifted my focus entirely to Web3 and turned tattooing into a hobby rather than my main profession.

This led to the creation of my flagship project:

🌟 Digital Lisa Club

The Digital Lisa Club is more than just an NFT project—it is a community-driven movement that integrates blockchain technology, artistic mastery, and exclusive real-world use cases.

🔹 Digital Lisa Ordinals → 1,503 unique artworks, inspired by the Mona Lisa and recent years' events.
🔹 Crypto Bully → Hand-drawn PFPs, serving as an entry into the club and funding community-driven initiatives.

Beyond NFTs, the Digital Lisa Club offers exclusive raffles, premium handcrafted items, and real-world rewards—some even refined with 24K gold and real diamonds.

🎯 The Vision: Web3 & Beyond

After years of experience in the NFT space, I have seen both great successes and failures.

I don’t want to create another pump-and-dump project—instead, I am focused on building a long-term, premium brand with true artistic and community-driven value.

🔹 Collaboration with the Community → Future NFT collections and use cases will be shaped by Digital Lisa holders and active members.
🔹 Exclusive Use Cases → Digital Lisa Club NFTs are more than art; they will integrate into real-world applications over time.
🔹 Sustainable Growth → No excessive hype, no fake promises—just authentic development.

🖌️ My Artistic Journey

🎨 Digital Artist

Over the years, I have worked on various creative projects:
✔ Custom illustrations & graphics for clients.
✔ Print designs for Amazon, Etsy, wedding invitations, and more.
✔ Hand-drawn tattoo concepts & digital artwork.
✔ Personalized premium clothing and everyday items.

Now, as I fully transition into Web3, I am dedicating my time to expanding my digital artistry into the blockchain world.

🎤 Tattoo Artist – Still Active on a Limited Basis

For many years, tattooing was my main profession — I trained in Germany, worked with international clients, and built a strong customer base.

While I’ve now fully shifted my focus to Web3 and art innovation, I continue to keep my Austrian tattoo license active.

👉 Occasionally, during my time in Austria (especially while my son is in school), I may still take on a small number of tattoo sessions — more as a creative outlet than a business focus.

Web3 remains my full-time mission and long-term vision.

🔮 The Future of the Digital Lisa Club

The Digital Lisa Club is just the beginning of a long-term vision. I’m working toward:

✔ Building a strong and engaged community.
✔ Developing new NFT collections with real-world relevance.
✔ Exploring collaborations with established Web3 creators.
✔ Blending blockchain innovation with handcrafted physical art.

I’m excited to explore the future of digital art and Web3 culture — together with an amazing community.

💡 Final Thoughts

With over 20 years of creative experience — from tattooing to digital illustration to blockchain art — this project is more than just code or collectibles.

The Digital Lisa Club is my way of bringing meaning, beauty, and craftsmanship into the NFT space — beyond speculation and hype.

If you believe in authentic art, innovation, and a community-first approach — you’re in the right place.

👉 Let’s shape the future of digital art together!
