ONCE UPON A TIME
LITTLE STORY ABOUT HOW WE GOT HERE...
I was born in Italy and have always been immersed in the world of art, good food, and the culture of beauty. I graduated in restoration and conservation and have had the opportunity to practice many artistic genres such as painting, sculpture, engraving, illustration, and comics. Although I found these passions stimulating, it was difficult to apply them in one working environment.
I came across the world of tattooing later in life. In Italy in 2009, tattooing was still predominantly old school or realistic styles with limited possibilities for innovation on the part of customers. However, when I attended a Tattoo Convention in Naples that same year, I was blown away by great artists who were revolutionizing the concept of tattooing.
They were bringing it to a creative level never imagined before.
From that experience, I learned that tattooing could be used to create something unique by mixing different styles, colours, ideas, stories, and techniques. This principle has become the cornerstone of my career.
"Imagine an idea that will come to life through your skin, not just a drawing. Focus on texture, colours, and sensation to create something visually and emotionally engaging."

"My Tattoo looks spot on"
“Tembo was SPOT ON! Had a great day and have re-booked. My Tattoo looks spot on and the general feel on the day was good. So yeah, although I have my personal reservations on a couple things it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a very good experience 👍``

"The colours are immense!"
I visited for my first tattoo. I was a bit nervous but the ladies on the front desk are so warm and lovely, they create such a friendly atmosphere.
My tattoo was with Francesca (Tembo) - I had a consultation a few weeks before to discuss the design.
What a talent! Very happy with how it turned out. The colours are immense!
