I’m Fiori, a Brazilian artist currently based in New York.Since I was a kid, I loved drawing up and creating art. Having the privilege of my mother being a tattoo artist since I was only 9 years old, I got in touch with the techniques and knowledge of tattooing very early. Due to my mother’s passion for traveling and my dad working as a circus artist,I was always on the move in Brasil.
In the year of 2002, I started tattooing. Drawing, music and traveling were more than just hobbies to me, it was my life, so I arrived at a decision to start to travel on my own.
The destination of my first trip, by the age of 19, was the beautiful city of London. Working there as a tattoo artist apprentice for a nice tattoo shop was my first experience abroad. After this crazy year, I decided to go to Italy in order to know other tattoo scenes and of course to see life in another amazing country. I was traveling and working in Italy for 3 years, in between I went back to Brasil several times.
After 9 years in Spain, 5 years running my business and having one of the best times of my life, full of different experiences with ups and downs, I felt like I wanted a bit more of freedom again. It’s in my blood, so I decided to hit the road again and keep doing what I was doing before, but this time more focused in a style which I came to find out to love the NEO TRADITIONAL. I was also working in Germany for the past few years, and just exploring a bit different cultures all around.
I’ve decide to finally make base in New York, and can’t wait to start new projects with a whole new approach.

Born in Spain, a land of great art masters, I found my home in the city that never sleeps.  My roots have been a big influence to me in my appreciation for all the art crafting.

My design journey began navigating between intuition and discovery. From fine-line to realism, I've explored the landscapes of ink, always seeking something unique.
