Andrea Massimini
Black & grey realism and portraits. Custom tattoos, designed for the body.
01Approach
Every project starts from your idea and is developed around the body area, the proportions and the size of the tattoo. My work focuses on black & grey realism and portraits, with attention to detail, contrast and how the tattoo reads over time.

03Signature piece
The spider.
A small spider tattooed on the ear, which has become one of my most recognisable pieces thanks to how widely it spread on social media.
04Styles
My style
Portraits
Faces of loved ones, film and music icons: likeness, gaze and expression rendered with a portraitist’s precision.
Color Realism
Florals and colour subjects with painterly transitions and palettes chosen around the skin tone.
