Every brand has a story. But few are as personal, as clearly characterized by an attitude to life as Old Dragon Rum. Because this rum does not come from an anonymous distillery or an assembly line, but from the creative heart of a tattoo studio: 2Brothers Ink in Dinkelsbühl, founded and run by artist Dimitri Zaharcenko – or simply: Dimi.
This article tells how skin art became a heart project in bottle form. And why Old Dragon Rum is much more than just a spirit.
💉 Tattoo art with attitude – 2Brothers Ink
For years, the tattoo studio “2Brothers Ink” has stood for precision, quality and creative standards. They don’t just create motifs here – they create lasting statements, captured under the skin. Every tattoo tells a story, every design is individual.
For Dimi it was always clear: a good tattoo needs time, style and soul. And that’s exactly what he wanted to transfer to a new medium – spirits as an art form. Not in the sense of alcohol consumption, but in the sense of honest enjoyment and creative identity.
🐉 Old Dragon – the dragon as a symbol
The name is no coincidence: Dimi was born in the Chinese year of the dragon – a sign of the zodiac that stands for strength, passion, independence and fire. Values that are reflected in his work as a tattoo artist. And now also in rum.
The design with the golden skeleton dragon on the label is not just a visual highlight – it is a reflection of Dimi’s style: edgy, sophisticated, symbolic.
🥃 From the studio to the glass – a rum with an artist’s soul
Old Dragon Rum is the result of an idea that has matured for a long time – just like the rums that make it up. Dimi didn’t want just any “tattoo rum” – but a product that you can drink straight, without clichés, with depth and class.
The basis is formed by mature rums from Venezuela and Jamaica, which are distilled using the pot still and column still methods. The result: a fine, smooth rum with a subtle banana note that is not overpowering but shows character. Like a good tattoo – unforgettable without having to be loud.
🔥 Tattoo & rum – what connects the two
What do a good tattoo and a good rum have in common? More than you might think:
- Both are craftsmanship.
They are not created by chance, but with precision and sensitivity. - Both stand for personality.
You wear a tattoo on your skin. A good rum is worn in the moment. Both stay in your memory. - Both are an expression of style.
They show attitude, taste and individuality – far removed from the mainstream.
For Dimi, Old Dragon is just that: a statement in a glass. Not a gimmick, not a publicity stunt – but an extension of his artistic aspirations, cast in golden-brown liquid.
🤝 Conclusion: art you can drink
Old Dragon is not a product that you “take away” quickly. It is a rum that you discover. It comes from a studio that stands for style and character. And from a person who is never satisfied with mediocrity.
Those who drink the rum not only taste bananas, caramel and softness. You also taste a vision. And perhaps you can feel a little of what happens when ink becomes drops.
