📍Anzio, Rome, Italy

My name’s Valerio Schisa, better known in the inked universe as Skisa. I’ve been tattooing for over 15 years, chasing electric inspiration from Rome to the Netherlands and Spain, and now anchoring my craft in Anzio, a seaside town where salt meets soul.Tattooing, for me, is more than just a profession. It’s a portal. A time machine. A personal ritual where the skin becomes the canvas for memory. Every client brings a story, every tattoo echoes meaning,sometimes subtle, sometimes loud; but always permanent.My art draws heavily from the universe that shaped me: pop culture. Anime, comic books, Japanese aesthetics, and video games, those vivid worlds from childhood sparked something in me. They taught me how to dream in color, how to see emotion in exaggerated expressions, how to craft a language of nostalgia. Now, I translate those same sensations into tattoo designs that honor our inner child and give it space to shine,forever inked.

Over the years, I’ve explored many styles, from traditional Japanese to neo-traditional, ultimately finding home in cartoon,inspired designs. Think bold colors, semi-realistic faces, and the kind of visual punch that makes you smile twice: once for beauty, once for memory.This isn’t just tattooing. It’s storytelling with pigments. And Skisa is the narrator, owner and creator of the Daruma TattooShop divides his time between the daily life of the studio and the various conventions around Europe
