There's something about BRUKO

Hi there— I’m Bruko, a tattoo artist based in Milano

I started out self-taught while I was still working as a comic artist — ink and drawing have always gone hand in hand for me.

Later on, I got my certification at Fashion Look Academy and had the chance to grow further by working alongside Luca Natalini.

My tattoo journey took shape in Milan, where I spent two years at Virgoz and four at Byzarttattoo. After that, I opened my own studio, Tattooindustry. I had to close it this year due to structural issues with the building — frustrating, but part of the ride.

Right now, my whole crew and I are working from Electric Wave Studio, hosted by a friend and held together by trust, shared space, and the need to keep moving.

Along the way, I’ve taken part in several tattoo conventions, including Lecce, Palermo, and Como — places where you learn by watching, talking, and doing.

Let's chat

Things I’ve done
