The botanical tattoo

An art that comes to life from nature

Click here to go to the reservation form
Botanical tattooing is an art form that celebrates the beauty and delicacy of plants and flowers by using minute details and a color palette that faithfully reproduces the wonder of flora.
My passion for this style stems from a desire to find the connection between nature and the human body and the harmony with which flowers and plants envelop the movements of our anatomy.

In 2018, I decided to specialize in this field, studying florigraphy, the symbolism of plants. This allowed me to gain an in-depth knowledge of the various types of plants, their symbolic meanings, and their colors and shades. Every flower, every leaf, every root tells a story and has symbolism that can be interpreted in a way unique to each person.
My approach to botanical tattooing is always personalized. I work closely with my clients, listening to their stories and desires to create a design that not only represents a plant or flower, but also speaks of their personality, values, and experiences.

Whether it is a symbolic flower, a plant that evokes special memories, or a botanical arrangement that celebrates the beauty of nature, each tattoo I create is unique and designed to be a piece of art that will accompany the client for a lifetime.

Frequently asked questions

If you have any doubts, I'm here to answer them!

How do I make an appointment with you?
Fill out the form above. I will receive the email with your request and get back to you as soon as possible. Once we discuss the project you will need to pay a deposit of 100 € by non-refundable bank transfer. At this point we will schedule an appointment based on availability in the schedule (no Saturdays and Sundays).
Can I see the drawing before I come to the 'appointment?
Sketches or drawings cannot be requested in advance. Each project will be discussed, designed and modified together on the day of our appointment. Remember that the more detailed your description of the subject and placement, the easier it will be for me to design something that comes close to your expectations.
Where is the study located?
The studio is located at 136 Martini Avenue, Monsummano Terme (PT), right across the street from another tattoo artist (friend). To avoid confusion, here is a picture of my entrance.
How can I get to the studio?
By car: Highway exit Montecatini Terme, then 5 minutes by car. Recommended parking: Piazza Luigi Gentili (free). By train: Get off at the Montecatini Terme-Monsummano stop, then take a cab (about 15€) to reach the studio in 10 minutes.
How does the appointment take place?
Eat breakfast: even if you are anxious, it is essential to cope well with the session. Snack holder: useful to have something to munch on while working. Project discussion: we will discuss the tattoo together before we start. Lunch break (for daily sessions): around 1 p.m. Bring something to eat; the studio has microwave, refrigerator and toaster. Duration: varies from 2 to 8 hours depending on the type of tattoo.
How should I dress?
Comfortable, loose, dark clothes. No pantyhose for leg tattoos. No underwire bras for chest/breast tattoos. Zip-up sweatshirt tank tops: perfect for arm tattoos. Shorts: perfect for leg tattoos. Bring warm gloves and socks if you are cold. Disposable bras available for back or chest tattoos.
Can I take someone with me?
NO companions in the booth, but they can wait in the waiting room. NO pets, my dog Pepe is already in the studio (does not enter the booth). If you have allergies or fears, let me know. NO children, not even accompanied.
What to expect after the tattoo?
Swelling and redness in the first few days: normal. Appearance of peels and scabs: part of the healing process. Use an indicated cream for 2 weeks, twice a day (e.g., Bepanthenol, Aquaphor, shea butter). Avoid direct sun for a month. No diving (pool/spa/sea) for a week. Avoid trauma and intense workouts. Light sports and showering: okay.
How can I pay?
I accept both cash (preferred) and card.
What if I have to reschedule?
Notify me as soon as possible. In case of last minute cancellation or no-show you will need to leave a new deposit to make another appointment.
