Tom Petucco

Im an artist originally from a town near Venice in Italy.. i come from a very creative family in general, but from my early teens graffiti, hip-hop culture and the underground scene really shape the artist i became, and i think the influence of this time of my life is very present in my works nowadays.. I ve gotten curious about tattoos at the same time, back then wasn't common to see many tattooed people like now, so i was fascinated by this form of art even though people weren't open minded about them at all...and surely that was made me curious, it felt like you were different from the mass.. At the age of 19 i moved to London seeking my path into tattooing because all my favourite artists were based there and that is where i wanted to be to learn this craft.. 10-12 years later i ve done countless miles to attend international events and expos,i vistited Australia and Melbourne for few years and won some awards at some major international expos,and saw many beautiful places around the world sharing my art and getting my art on a worldwide level.. So being tattooing the centre of my life for over a decade i feel the need to go back to my roots also, my illustrations and my other ideas that aren't related to tattoos.. I enjoy portraits of dogs or any pet an animals, but also very loose and abstract pieces where maybe the tattoo style is related.. My biggest passion is to paint with watercolour or mex-media, but i always had a passion for coffee and bring that into my paintings mixed with a black biro pen to bring that black out.. So i m happy to share my art and my coffee paintings on this platform as it is a technique i feel it's really part of who i am and will allow me to create unique custom works, also with coffee and biro that are 2 everyday items we use, but can really break that barrier of where we normally put them or use them for .. hope you enjoy my art and i m happy to discuss any idea..
