What happens when you hand Greece's most iconic spirit to a tattoo artist, and ask them to get inspired?
Welcome to METAXA CREATIVE LAB, a platform exploring how the modern taste of Greece can be seen, felt, and shared, powered by the Greek Twist in its most expressive form: METAXA 12 Stars.
In this episode, METAXA CREATIVE LAB turns the iconic cocktail shaker into a canvas of bold expression - not by a designer, but by a tattoo artist.
Meet the Artist: Dione Howl
Dione Howl is a Greek tattoo artist known for her intricate blackwork that transforms skin into canvases of botanical beauty, featuring detailed line work, floral patterns, and elaborate decorative motifs.
Her art merges heritage with a contemporary edge, making her a natural partner for METAXA. Like METAXA 12 Stars, Dione redefines the Greek essence through a modern lens, honoring tradition while pushing boundaries.
The Challenge
METAXA invited Dione to get inspired by our most iconic Greek spirit – METAXA 12 Stars and create a tattoo-style design for a classic plain cocktail shaker.
The Result? A Collector’s Icon
Inspired by the METAXA’s Greek spirit, Dione turned a classic cocktail shaker into a limited-edition must have bar tool intricately designed with olive tree motifs and modern interpretations of marble sculptures, engraved on silver metal. Influenced by METAXA, Dione gives Greek symbolism a contemporary Greek Twist.
Of course, a stylish shaker needs an equally stylish cocktail. Try METAXA 12 Stars Smoky Olive Sour, the embodiment of modern Greek taste featuring METAXA 12 Stars, olive garnish, and olive tree smoke for that Instagram-worthy presentation.
