Danielo

Danielo is a tattoo artist in Palma de Mallorca, working at Ink & Blood in the centre of the city. His focus is Japanese, neo-traditional and blackwork, styles that call for powerful designs, solid composition and pieces with presence. If you like tattoos that read clearly from a distance, with strong contrast and a drawing built to hold up over the years, his approach will suit you.

He works best on medium and large pieces: arms, legs, back or ribs, where the design has room to breathe and follow the shape of the body. Koi, dragons, masks, flowers, animals and neo-traditional portraits with bold lines and colour all fit his style. In blackwork he plays with solid black, patterns and contrast to create tattoos with a lot of character.

Every design is custom made. Before you start, you talk through your idea, the placement, the size and whether the piece will take one session or several. Danielo advises you on what will work best on your skin and draws the design with you in mind. The studio uses single-use equipment, and you leave with clear aftercare instructions so your tattoo heals properly.
