Portrait tattoos in Rome
Faces, animals and icons rendered from a photograph, until the eyes are the person you remember.
Portrait
A portrait is a likeness, not a drawing of a face: much of the work happens before the needle, choosing the photograph, the crop and the light. Alessandro has tattooed family, animals and public figures, always from a reference and never from memory.
- Good for
- Family, partners, animals, memorial pieces, icons and heroes.
- Placement
- Forearm, upper arm, calf, chest: a flat surface that keeps the proportions.
- Technique
- Black & grey realism from a photograph: contrast first, details second.
Walk-in
No appointment? Come today.

Styles & services
Other styles
- Fine lineOne unbroken line, no outline to hide behind: florals, script, constellations and symbols, drawn at the size they deserve.
- Micro-realismTiny pieces with the detail of a large one: statues, animals, landscapes and memories compressed into a few centimetres.
- Hyper-realismBlack & grey realism built layer by layer until the skin looks lit from inside: statues, drapery, destruction effects, texture.
- Black & greyNo colour, no shortcuts: myth, skulls, angels, dragons and ornament, shaded with grey wash and dotwork.
- ColourSaturated, painterly colour: from Botticelli to Van Gogh, translated into skin with the space to breathe.

Questions, answered
A manager replies within 10 minutes during opening hours.
Can you tattoo a portrait from an old photo?
Usually yes, if the photograph has enough light and shadow. Send the original file — a scan or a high-resolution copy beats a screenshot — and the studio tells you what can be recovered and what will be softened.
Do I need an appointment?
Custom work and larger pieces are by appointment. We also keep a limited number of walk-in spots every day, Monday to Saturday — first come, first served.
How much does a tattoo cost?
It depends on size, placement and detail. Send a request with your idea and we will give you an honest range before you commit to anything.
