Valerio Ciciarelli, realism tattoo artist at Squires Ink
Valerio Ciciarelli
@_valerinktattoo_ · Large-scale realism

Calabria, Italy. Tattooing since 2015. Best Realism Piece at the 2019 Caserta Tattoo Convention. Large-scale realism in black and grey and colour, and one of the fastest, most precise hands I’ve watched work. When a piece needs six hours of detail without the quality dropping off in hour five, Valerio is who I put people with.

He moved from Italy to the Gold Coast to take his work to a bigger stage. He’s also the artist covering my chest, filmed start to finish, because the product I sell is the product I’m using while he works.

“What I recommend to my clients is formulas that work in hydrating the skin and look after my work long after it leaves the studio. Because this is my passion.”

“It didn’t feel like a tattoo shop, more like being welcomed into a family. Benny went above and beyond, even surprised me with an aftercare gift. Great products. You’ll be genuinely looked after here. It’s on another level.”
