The Full Story
About
I’m an Italian woman who has lived through art for as long as I can remember.
​
My mum always tells me that when I was very little, I was extremely hyperactive — but the moment she handed me a pencil and paper, I would find my peace and sit for hours drawing. That’s where everything began.
Art was never just a hobby. It was where I felt centred, focused, and fully myself.
​
As I grew up, I realised I didn’t just want to create — I wanted to tell stories. Mine, but especially other people’s. I wanted to travel, discover new cultures, and explore a world bigger than the one I knew.
​
At fourteen, I got my first tattoo with my mum. She tattooed my name; I tattooed the phrase, “Art never comes from happiness.” Even then, I understood that emotion — especially the complicated kind — holds creative power.
my BACKGROUND
I specialised in Fine Arts during high school, immersing myself in drawing, painting, and classical techniques. At the same time, illustration became a central part of my identity, deeply influenced by the fairy tales and illustrated books my grandmother shared with me — books I still treasure today.
I later enrolled in a private illustration academy in Italy, where I refined my technique and began exploring digital art. But my fascination with tattooing had already started. I spent years visiting studios, observing, asking questions, and quietly learning.
At nineteen, I bought my first tattoo machine and practised on myself. That moment confirmed everything.
After completing my professional certification in Milan, I began tattooing seriously while continuing illustration work. Yet I always felt the urge to explore more.
In 2023, I bought a one-way ticket to Australia. Starting over in a new country pushed me to grow both creatively and personally. I joined Studio 187 Tattoo, where I found not only professional development but a second family. At the same time, I enrolled in a three-year Business degree and began working in studio marketing, learning how creativity and strategy can coexist.
Today, I’m proud of the risks I’ve taken and the path I’ve built — and I’m only just beginning.
my WHY
For me, tattooing has never been just about creating something beautiful.
It is about giving form to what often feels invisible.
We all carry stories inside us — memories, wounds, dreams, fears, parts of ourselves that are difficult to express. Sometimes they are heavy, sometimes magical, and sometimes we don’t even know how to put them into words.
My purpose is to create a space where those stories can exist without judgment.
When someone sits in front of me and begins to share, I listen carefully. Not only to the words, but to the emotion behind them. I try to understand their inner world — what shaped them, what they carry, what they want to remember or transform.
From there, I translate those feelings into symbolism. Each piece becomes an emotional portrait, created only for one person, impossible to replicate. Even when a design looks delicate or simple, it often holds layers of meaning known only to the one who wears it.
I believe sensitivity is a strength.
I believe being different is powerful.
I believe emotion, when embraced, becomes art.
More than anything, I want the people who choose me to feel seen, understood, and empowered. I want them to leave not only with a tattoo, but with a symbol that represents their truth and reminds them of their inner strength.
That is why I create.
