What is the most shocking tattoo you have
done?
The most shocking tattoo for me is the Baby
Masai done at a tattoo convention in Messe,
Germany.
What do you think a client should expect
from you as a tattoo artist and what do
you on the other hand expect from a client
to make a successful tattoo and a good
collaboration?
Customers expect professionalism and
sanitation, that is very important in our job.
I expect the customer to have respect for
my work, ideally a good synergy between
us, and follow my suggestions for optimal
healing of the tattoo and proper aftercare.
What criteria do you think that a tattoo
convention shall have to be really successful,
both for you as a tattoo artist, but also for
the visitors? Can you give some examples
of conventions that meet these criteria really
well?
From the point of view of the visitor, of
course the quality of the artists. As for tattoo
artists, logistics such as spaces, large
sizes, cleaning, and easily accessible and
above all in strategic locations, The London
convention, it’s one of the most beautiful in

the world.
How would you describe the current status of
tattoo by the general public in Italy?
In Italy, tattoos are very popular, the average
level of the artists is quite low, although
fortunately, people are starting to understand
how to evaluate a great tattoo.
How has the tattooing industry changed in
your opinion since shows like LA, NY, Miami
and London Ink have been broadcasted to
the nation?
The tattoo industry has certainly benefited
from these programs shown on TV around
the world, and the tattoos themselves have
become even more popular.
Have you noticed any changes in the
tattooing industry since you started?
The tattoo industry is constantly evolving,
especially in regards to the materials. They
are very attentive in the choice of equipment
to use, that definitely can affect the final
result of the tattoo,I am sponsored by:
