Born in Rome on 20 December 1975, I started my tattooing career around 2008.

The 1980s and 1990s have been a massive influence on me. For me, tattooing has always gone hand in hand with the culture, lifestyle, and music that I grew up with. The bands I loved and what they represented shaped both my artistic vision and my approach to tattooing.

Among my earliest influences were artists whose work I first discovered in magazines: Bob Tyrrell, Paul Booth, Robert Hernandez, Felipe Leu, Negrete, and Guy Hutchinson, just to name a few. Their work immediately drew me into the world of tattooing and left a lasting impression on me.

Although I started tattooing relatively late, as a lifelong gothic and punk enthusiast I had always been fascinated by the connection between music, alternative culture, and tattoo art.

I am particularly drawn to dark subjects, ghostly imagery, and spooky elements. Women and animals are among my favourite subjects to tattoo. I enjoy creating portraits, especially those inspired by musicians and bands, and I have always had a strong appreciation for Chicano-style tattooing.

I am also a big fan of the bio-organic style and would love to explore it even more in my current work.

After almost twenty years in the industry, I consider myself a versatile black-and-grey tattoo artist, capable of working across different styles while maintaining my own artistic identity.

I am also passionate about classical religious imagery and architectural elements, which I enjoy combining whenever possible. Another aspect of tattooing that I truly love is cover-up work. I enjoy the entire process—the challenge and the creative struggle involved in transforming an unwanted tattoo into something beautiful, to the point where the original piece is no longer recognisable.

Today I remain active on the international tattoo convention circuit and regularly undertake guest spots.
Having graduated from art school in the early 1990s, I am also an oil painter. I run a small workshop called “C’n’I” in London, where I create large-scale oil paintings on wood and canvas. Commissions are always welcome
