HELLO MY NAME IS ANGELO

MY NAME IS ANGELO NICOLELLA, BORN IN NAPLES IN 1982. I BEGAN TATTOOING IN 2011, STARTING WITH SIMPLE DESIGNS TO GAIN EXPERIENCE. WATCHING NUMEROUS VIDEO TUTORIALS AS A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST, I WAS INSPIRED BY A TATTOO BY HURTADO, AMAZED BY ITS ARTISTRY. TWO YEARS AGO, I DELVED INTO REALISM, DRAWN TO ITS INTRICATE DETAILS, FEELING MORE CONFIDENT IN THIS STYLE THAN JAPANESE ART. WITH A PASSION FOR ART, PARTICULARLY SALVADOR DALI’S SURREALISM, I FIND INSPIRATION FROM ARTISTS LIKE DMITRIY SAMOHIN AND NIKKO HURTADO. AFTER NEARLY FOUR YEARS, I’VE PARTICIPATED IN MANY EUROPEAN CONVENTIONS, WINNING SEVERAL AWARDS. REALISM REMAINS MY PREFERRED STYLE, THOUGH I ALSO ENJOY CARTOON. AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS I AM BASED IN MILAN, I OPENED MY STUDIO TEN MONTHS AGO, A SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT IN MY CAREER.
