THE ARTIST BEHIND CROMÌA

I am an Italian artist, conservator, tattoo professional, and the founder of CROMÌA. My work brings together art, knowledge of the skin, and careful attention to every person and every project.

Alongside my work with CROMÌA, I personally accept only a limited number of tattoo projects each year. These include selected pieces inspired by fine art, classical imagery, and traditional art, as well as specialized paramedical tattoo projects for carefully selected clients.

Every request is reviewed personally. Applying does not guarantee availability, but it gives you the opportunity to be considered for one of my limited annual appointments.
