About me

My Career and Recognition

My professional journey began at Devil’s Mind Tattoo Studio, where I honed my skills over seven years. I then joined Traditional Stone Studio for six years, and for the past two years, I have been collaborating with New Skin Tattoo Studio alongside Alessio Lala.

Recognition for my work includes:

-2023: Third place in the Body Suit Colored category at the International Tattoo Expo (Rome).

- 2024: Judge for the Japanese Category at the Caserta Tattoo Convention.

- 2024: Judge for all categories at the Fiuggi Tattoo Expo.

Since I was a child, I have been captivated by the art, mythology, and culture of the East. Perhaps it is because I’ve always admired the elegance, delicacy, and balance deeply embedded in these traditions, where every detail transforms into a poetic lifestyle.

I see the world as an interplay of opposing forces, like Yin and Yang—constantly shifting and shaping our lives through our choices. This philosophy is reflected in my work as I craft designs that embody harmony and contrast.

Over the years, I have immersed myself in the study of Eastern customs, mythology, religion, painting, and calligraphy. My artistic journey has included mastering techniques such as watercolor, ink, acrylic, and oil painting. These skills have intertwined seamlessly with my passion for tattooing, which began in my adolescence. I was immediately drawn to the stunning complexity, vibrant colors, and profound symbolism of traditional Japanese tattoos.

Today, my artistic vision is to provide my clients with not only a tattoo but a meaningful and high-quality piece of art. I want to preserve the significance of traditional Japanese tattooing, a style that has withstood the test of time and has profoundly influenced the global tattoo industry.

I also specialize in the Tebori technique, the traditional hand-poked tattooing method used before the advent of electric machines. I am continuously honing my skills to exclusively master this ancient practice. In addition, I am writing a book that delves into the origins of Japanese tattooing and serves as a guide to the stories and meanings behind its designs. Alongside this, I am working on a sketchbook that provides step-by-step insights into the creation of these intricate designs.

Work Process

Every tattoo begins with a consultation where I discuss the client’s ideas and vision. Together, we review references and refine the concept to align with their story and style. I then measure the area to be tattooed and proceed in one of two ways:

Sketching on Paper: I take a few days to create a detailed design on paper, tailored to the client’s body.

Freehand Design: When possible, I draw directly onto the skin, creating a dynamic and unique design.

Once the client approves the design, the journey begins—a collaboration of trust and artistry that transforms their vision into a timeless piece of body art.
