I get to hear so many meaningful and touching stories from the people I tattoo - stories they want to carry on their skin forever. It’s such an honor for me to create something that holds that much weight, that marks a moment in their life in a way that feels just right.
There are so many beautiful stories my clients got to commemorate with my art, but here are a few recent ones.
I'll start with the story that made dozens of people cry and sob in the Instagram comments:
Dario’s cat, Nero, wasn’t just a pet - he was family. They had been together since Dario was five years old, and losing him at 23 felt like losing a part of himself. He told me that Nero was as close to him as his own parents, and he wanted to honor that bond with a tattoo.
He had been considering a line-art piece for a while but hesitated - how could simple lines capture Nero’s fluffiness? “Until I saw your art,” he said. That’s when he knew.
Nero used to sleep curled up right under Dario’s arm, so that’s exactly where we placed the tattoo - as if he is still there, cozy by his side.
This was such a beautiful and creative way to carry Nero with him forever. I’m so grateful I got to bring this to life.
Andrea lost her father some years ago, and one of her favourite memories of him was captured in a photo from her wedding day - him, smiling and waving at her
She wanted to honor that moment and to represent the feelings that come with it - "The love, the appreciation, the loss and the mourning..".
So instead of making a plain and literal portrait of him, we decided to create something more abstract, to focus on his energy and on this moment of him waving at her - the simple, beautiful gesture that carried so much love.
This session was deeply emotional. So many feelings came up, and I felt incredibly honored to hold space for them. The whole process became a ritual, a way to honor his presence.
The result? A piece that wasn’t just a tattoo, but a memory made tangible - subtle, powerful, and full of meaning.
This one was both fun and empowering.
Iris came in, looked me straight in the eye, and said, “I’m done taking bullshit.” Work, personal life, random people -everywhere she turned, someone had something to say, and she had reached her limit. “I don’t want to listen to anyone anymore. I just want to focus on me.”
She wanted something literal, something that screamed, I’m not here for your nonsense. But at the same time, it wasn’t about shutting down - it was about stepping into her power, embracing this stoic, unshakable energy.
Finding the balance between closing off the noise and opening up to inner strength was a challenge, but we made it happen.
It resulted in a piece that says exactly what she needed it to, without a single word. I loved being part of this moment for her.
Loved ones, memories, pets, or meaningful ideas - these tattoos hold something sacred.
They might not always allow me to express the full range of my artistic freedom, but they touch something deep in the soul. They become living symbols of grief, love, rebirth… and that makes them unforgettable.
If you have something meaningful you’re ready to carry on your skin, I’d be honored to co-create it with you.
Can´t wait to create together, see you soon.
With love,
