Ink runs deeper than skin for Gio, also known as Gio Graphic, a tattooer from the Netherlands whose journey began with a deep passion for writing and calligraphy. From an early stage, he developed a strong appreciation for letterforms, rhythm, and flow, which later became the foundation of his artistic identity. Over time, Gio transformed these roots into a distinct tattoo style defined by solid linework and authenticity. His work balances structure with creativity, resulting in custom designs that feel both personal and timeless. Each piece is approached with intention and respect for the craft, carefully tailored to reflect the vision and story of every client he works with.

Gio Graphic approaches tattooing with a strong focus on understanding the craft from the ground up. He began with all-round tattooing to learn the techniques, processes, and mindset behind different styles, building a broad and solid foundation. At the same time, he developed a clear specialization in Lettering, shaped by his background as a schooled Graphic Designer. In addition to tattooing, he has designed logos for tattoo shops and artists from all over the world, combining functionality with strong visual identity. His work is defined by precision, structure, and intention, consistently translating ideas into clean, custom compositions while continuously refining his craft and pushing his creative development every day.
