📍Padua, Italy

My name is Mattia B Antico. I did my first tattoo on a person in 2017. Since I was a child, l’ve always been fascinated by tattoos and their rebellious aura. I’ve also loved every form of art and had a passion for drawing from an early age. I studied drawing and painting under an art mentor, which laid the foundation for my artistic journey. In tattooing, l’m currently an apprentice under Ivan Trapiani. This path allows me to merge technical skills with creative expression, constantly pushing myself to grow. I live and work in the province of Padua, Italy.

My main style is black and grey realism. I believe every tattoo should tell the story of the person wearing it, but also reflect the soul of the artist who created it. My goal is always to find the perfect balance between deep meaning and strong visual impact. I’ve participated in a tattoo convention, and one of the highlights of my career so far is being interviewed by Global Tattoo Magazine for the quality of my work. I strive to infuse a strong emotional component into every piece, turning each tattoo into a personal and powerful work of art.
