Old school tattoo: mermaid on the arm, made by Daniele Cassano

OLD SCHOOL

The traditional old school tattoo style stands out for its thick lines, saturated colours and simple, iconic designs, often built around anchors, roses, hearts and pin-ups. This vintage style is known for lasting over time and for keeping a bold, vivid look.

JAPANESE STYLE

The Japanese tattoo style, known as Irezumi, is built on traditional motifs such as dragons, cherry blossoms, koi carp and mythological figures, drawn with flowing lines and vivid colours. It carries deep symbolism tied to courage, strength and spirituality, and often covers large areas of the body.

Tribal tattoo: Maori full sleeve, made by Daniele Cassano

TRIBAL

The traditional Polynesian tattoo style stands out for its intricate geometric patterns, heavy black lines and balanced compositions, often depicting natural elements and symbols of strength, protection and belonging. Among the most iconic designs are waves, shark teeth, turtles and spears, each carrying a deep spiritual and cultural meaning. This ancestral style, rooted in the traditions of peoples such as the Maori, the Samoans and the Hawaiians, is known for standing the test of time and for adapting harmoniously to the body, creating works of art that keep a strong and meaningful presence.

The cream

A GOOD HEALING NEEDS A GOOD PRODUCT

After getting tattooed it is essential to look after the skin with a product that naturally supports the regeneration process. Choose gentle formulas, free from harsh or industrial chemicals that could slow the healing down and compromise the quality of the tattoo.

That is why I created a dedicated cream, designed to respect the balance of the skin and support healing in the most effective way. Its light texture never feels greasy and never suffocates the skin, which helps preserve the integrity and the beauty of the tattoo over time.

Healing

How do you care for a tattoo?

The first few weeks decide how your tattoo will look forever. I wrote down the full routine, hour by hour.

  1. 1Within three hours of the end of the session, gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a pH neutral liquid soap.
  2. 2Dry the area by patting it with a clean cloth or kitchen paper, without rubbing.
  3. 3Apply a thin layer of my dedicated tattoo cream over the whole tattooed surface.
  4. 4Cover the tattoo again with cling film.

Frequently asked

What people ask me most

How do I book a tattoo?

It starts with a free consultation. You message me on WhatsApp with your idea, we talk through subject, size and placement, then we set the date for the session. The consultation is also where we work out whether the idea sits well on the skin before any drawing begins.

How much does a tattoo cost?

The price comes down to three things: size, level of detail and the part of the body. A small traditional piece and a full Japanese sleeve are not comparable. That is why I publish no price list: I quote during the free consultation, once I have seen the idea, and that is what you pay.

Which tattoo styles do you work in?

Three styles: traditional old school, with thick lines and saturated colour; Japanese irezumi, with dragons, koi carp and cherry blossom; and Polynesian tribal, with geometric patterns and heavy black lines. I have drawn freehand since 2010, so every piece is built on the person wearing it.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

The surface closes over the first 7 days, and that is the window where the cream goes on 2 or 3 times a day. For the first month avoid pools, the sea and direct sun, because chlorine, salt and UV slow the regeneration down and dull the colours. The skin is fully back to normal after about a month.

What is the minimum age for a tattoo in Italy?

From 18 you decide for yourself. Under 18 you need the consent of whoever holds parental responsibility, with identification and their presence at the studio, under the applicable regional rules. Always bring an identity document to the session.

Where is the studio?

I work in the Monza and Brianza area, always by appointment, Monday to Saturday. I give you the exact address for the session when we set the date.
