Michel Marcaccini

📍Modena, Italy


I was born in Italy, in the province of Modena, where I have been tattooing for fifteen years. Growing up in a family of artists, drawing has always been a constant part of my life, but my professional journey truly began through a traditional apprenticeship. Guided by a mentor, I learned the foundations of the tattoo art in the studio where I continue to collaborate to this day. For me, tattooing is a path of constant personal research and development that never ceases to mesmerize me. I believe that true growth comes from dedicated study, meticulous design, empathy and a deep respect for every person who trusts me and allows me to draw my art on their skin.


My work mainly focuses on Black and Grey realism and surrealism, using both graywash and opaque pigments. I specialize in blending human figures and female faces with natural landscapes, historical architecture and famous works of art. My compositions often incorporate statues and architectural details to create unique, layered atmospheres envisioned through a lens of dark influences. This technical research is the core of my daily dedication to the craft. I divide my time between my own studio and the studio where I started working 15 years ago, always aiming for constant growth through the meticulous care I provide to each client, ensuring that every project results in a balanced and meaningful collaboration.
