I was born and raised in Florence, Italy. My first encounter with tattooing came while I was in the Italian Army. I built my first tattoo gun out of an old Walkman, a toothbrush, and a pen.
From 1998 to 2002, I worked for Maurizio Fiorini, the Italian Tattoo Master or "Il Maestro" as he is known. Maurizio is the oldest living Italian Tattoo Artist.
In 2002 I graduated from the Academy of Art in Florence. After participating in a few Tattoo Conventions, Art shows, and working in a couple of Tattoo shops around Italy, I felt the need to travel to America to learn more about the art of Tattooing.
I worked in New York City for a year, in 2003 I moved to Los Angeles California, where I was given the opportunity to work for the legendary Bob Roberts at Spotlight Tattoo, alongside other great artists.
The majority of my work is custom designed. I like to work with different styles and different techniques. I work every day from 1:00p.m. - 10:00p.m. except Wednesday & Sunday. For a consultation or to make an appointment call me at 213-369-0135, or stop by Spotlight Tattoo at 5859 Melrose Ave. (at Vine) Los Angeles, 90038.
