The history of tattoo art in Florence

Cityscape of Florence

While specific historical records of tattooing *within* Florence are limited, the city's artistic legacy undoubtedly influenced early tattoo culture in Italy.

Giulio Tomasselli, owner of the first shop in Florence and one of the founders of the National Association of Italian Tattoo Artists, significantly shaped Florentine tattoo culture. His influence extends to numerous artists over nearly 30 years. Dragon Tattoo Studio, opened by Tomasselli in 1990, was the first in Florence.

  • “Got my first two tattoos today at Bad Brothers in Florence and it was honestly the best experience ever!! I’m from Perth, Australia so getting tattooed overseas was a bit of a leap—but I’m so glad I trusted the process, because Alex (the owner and artist) was incredible. He has such a calming presence and made me feel completely at peace the whole time. There’s something really reassuring about the way he works—super professional, but also warm and easygoing, with a fun side that made the whole experience feel relaxed and so enjoyable. The studio itself has a great vibe—clean, welcoming, and just cool without trying too hard. Both tattoos turned out amazing, and I walked out feeling so happy, and already thinking about the next one. If you're in Florence and even thinking about getting a tattoo, definitely go see Alex. Couldn’t recommend him more 🤍”

  • “I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet and be tattooed by Alex. I contacted him on instagram and he responded in no time. I explained what I wanted and he gave me his available dates. We decided to get tattooed at the Reggio Calabria tattoo convention. I was super nervous at first but Alex quickly and effectively calmed me down. Over 2 days we did 16 hours of tattooing. While Alex is working he is hyper focused. We came in FIRST place! I highly recommend Alex. Not only will you get an award winning tattoo. You might also make a friend! Thank you Alex for an experience of a lifetime that I will never forget !”

  • “My husband and I both got tattoos done here by Gaia while we were on vacation! She is an INCREDIBLE talent and we would highly recommend her to anyone!! She's very kind and also has a gentle hand while tattooing! The shop itself is very clean and the other artists/people there are very welcoming.”

    Kayla Kimbley5.0Dec 2, 2024

  • “Had an amazing experience here with all the staff! As soon as I walked in and started filling out paperwork, I was offered coffee! The artist I booked with was Alberto and he was so kind and attentive to detail. He made sure the design was exactly what I wanted and even explained the best way to adjust the cursive lettering to avoid fading/bleeding over the healing process. The shop itself is also so cute and comfortable, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Coming from the States, I’m used to shop minimum’s being at least $150, but I only paid €70! Can't recommend Noa Ink enough, especially Alberto! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Florence”
