City Heritage & Tattoo Culture

The Rich History of Tattoo Art in Venice

As a dominant maritime republic, Venice was a historical crossroads for tattoo culture, connecting European traditions with those from the East. Its bustling port was a melting pot for sailors and merchants whose tattoos served as logbooks of their travels, protective talismans, or marks of their trade. This is most famously seen in the well-documented tradition of Christian pilgrims, who used Venice as a primary gateway to the Holy Land and often returned with devotional tattoos, serving as permanent proof of their sacred journey and unwavering faith.

Looking for a tattoo when visiting Italy this last week and after looking at review picked Tattoo Consortium and the experience was 10/10. 3 of us got tattoos and we were all very satisfied. Definitely high quality work. Thank you again.

My wife and I decided to schedule a last-minute tattoo while we were visiting Venice. I did the best research I could to find an artist whose style and skill I felt comfortable with. Federico did not disappoint. His linework was clean, my color looks great, and he was quick. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with him.

I got a tattoo from Roberto at UnderSkin Tattoo while visiting Venice from the U.S., and it was a fantastic experience. (@bertz_tattooing) He took my idea — a love letter design for my wife — and reworked it with his own artistic vision. I didn’t change a thing — it was perfect. The shop is spotless and tucked away in a peaceful piazza, far from the tourist crowds. Roberto was friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. His English is great, and our conversation made the session fly by. The tattoo (shoulder to elbow) turned out beautifully — my wife loves it, and so do I. Roberto is a top-notch artist. If you’re in Venice and thinking of getting a tattoo, don’t hesitate to book with him.

A first tattoo for me. Great experience. I felt safe, guided, listened to, and at ease. I would do it again if only I had a second right forarm. Communication was perfect. The result is stunning!

Fredrick is SO talented! My friend and I went here for our first tattoo (fine line) while visiting Venice and are both obsessed with how they turned out. We dm them on Instagram and they got us in right away. He made great suggestions and was very kind/fun, making it all a great experience! Definitely would go again :)
