You do not need to apologize for taking the time you need to get ready for your tattoo! As tattoo artists, we appreciate your trust. And we also encourage you to find your “enthusiastic YES!”

A tattoo lives on your body for the rest of your life. Taking the time to get it right is not an inconvenience. Stop apologizing!

Marcelo creates powerful freehand blackwork that feels alive, drawing inspiration from nature, movement, and engraving textures. His dark illustrative compositions and body-flowing tribal influence transform skin into story.

Due to an unexpected cancellation, two more spots are available! We are stoked to welcome him for the first time in California, do NOT miss this chance!

The moment you sit for a large piece, something shifts.

This isn’t a transaction. It’s a co-authorship. Artist and client writing a story together in a language that does not wash off.

Like any story worth telling, it requires both people to show up for the whole arc. The planning, the sessions, the healing, the follow-through.

We believe tattooing is one of the most intimate forms of co-creation. And we take that seriously.

Fabbio works in bold, large-scale floral blackwork with sweeping compositions that flow naturally with the body, layered and built to elegantly frame its shape.

We are elated to welcome him back for a second guest spot.

He is primarily booked for this visit, but may extend his stay for a truly special project!
