Those who seek out quality and want to wear a custom piece of fine art will value Anthony’s thoughtful approach to design.
I'm a classically-trained fine artist, specializing in custom illustrative tattoos that tell stories.
My path to tattooing began with a piece of chalk and a chalkboard as a toddler. By age eight, I was studying under mentors who taught me to see the world through an artist's eye. That foundation led me to the Ringling College of Art and Design, where I earned my BFA in Illustration, and then to Italy, where I studied classical technique at the Florence Academy of Art.
For years, I worked as a professional illustrator and portrait artist, learning to translate ideas and emotions into visual narratives. In 2018, I began my tattoo apprenticeship, bringing everything I'd learned about composition, storytelling, and classical technique to a new medium: skin.
I specialize in mythology, allegory, and narrative illustration—the kind of work inspired by Golden Age illustrators like N.C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell Whether you're drawn to dark fairy tales, classical mythology, witchy feminine archetypes, or symbolic concepts like Fate and Justice, I approach each piece as a collaboration. You bring the subject. I bring the artistry to make it timeless.
My process isn't about copying your Pinterest board. It's about understanding what you're trying to express—the theme, the feeling, the hierarchy of meaning—and creating custom work that honors both your vision and the craft. These are tattoos designed to age beautifully and will resonate decades from now.
