Gianluca Artico

Gianluca Artico was born in Rome, Italy, where spent his formative years in a well-to-do neighborhood that was quite trendy in the 90s, making the streets an integral part of his life. His initial foray into the realm of tattoo art began in the early 90s when he dabbled in hand-poked tattoos due to the unavailability of electric machines. Without any formal apprenticeship, Gianluca dedicated two years to working from his own home, diligently learning by mimicking and closely studying the works of others. His big break came when he seized an opportunity to work in a professional tattoo studio, which allowed him to further refine his skills.

Over the course of his career, Gianluca Biasini developed a deep passion for traditional tattoo styles. His fascination with traditional American tattoos laid the groundwork for his artistic journey, and with time, he transitioned into the Californian style. Gianluca drew inspiration from celebrated tattoo masters like Sailor Jerry, Amund Dietzel, Bert Grim, and Ed Hardy. His commitment to honing his craft remains a cornerstone of his work in the industry.
