Hello,
my name is Fabrizio and I have been tattooing, drawing and painting for about 30 years.
Life brought me to several corners of the world to practice my passion, open shops and getting to know the most amazing people.
My hometown is Milan, but since the late 90' I've been living, working and relocating in Costa Rica, Miami, NYC, Toronto and I've recently chosen the splendid island of Menorca, Spain, to open my latest project, La Malapulga: a lovely tattoo shop and art gallery in the heart of the old town of Ciutadella.
While I lately focus on traditional and neo-traditional style, I'm still open to different creative suggestions.
With an academic background started at the Academy of Fine Arts of Milan and ended with the School of Illustration of Castello Sforzesco in the same city, I'm influenced by a variety of themes and styles. Flora and fauna might be the biggest inspiration at the moment; but I still get excited when I contemplate any masterpiece from the Renaissance up to Cubism (yes I know, they're several centuries of incredible work of art, but i DO love them all)
At the same time, I also enjoy illustrations or tattoos by some phenomenal new artist that I keep discovering on Instagram.
In short, I am one of those lucky dudes who managed to transform their biggest passion into a career, having the incredible fortune of exploring my creativity on a daily basis, weather on skin, paper or canvas.
So this is me, in a LARGE nutshell. And this is my new online store, where you can buy prints (always a small limited number and signed), original paintings, and more.
