Dragon Koi

Wanting a Dragon Koi to represent his own transformation in his life, this client came to Biagio for his cover-up. Biagio approached this piece with his own take on the Japanese subject matter by freehand sketching with a marker before permanently tattooing the design into the skin. An original design with a realistic approach is what drove Biagio to create this sleeve.

This is a piece Biagio free-formed designed for Austin of the band "Black Tide". Austin wanted some bio-organic work with a zombie-like feel to represent Man#39;s desire being the root of all evil. Biagio freehanded the design to portray the eye of a man, turning evil, looking at the object of his desire, a woman, that transitions into a zombie showing off the result of the desire. This is the beginning of a whole sleeve that represent the theme of Man#39;s desire is the root of all evil.

Reaper Releases Pit

This piece was designed for my client to pay homage to his Pitbull with some elements of roses which he likes and a reaper to reflect the death he escaped from in his own life. All work is freehand and original. I utilized reference for the skull, roses and dog. The tattoo started as a cover-up of a name over his nipple. The original design incorporated the nipple into it, eventually the client wanted to cover his entire nipple and thus we proceeded to mask his nipple in darkness.
