Milan-based tattoo artist Mattia Mambo creates unique graphic interpretations of his clients’ favorite animals, fruits, and celebrities. He uses thick lines to create the designs and layers them for the best effect.
Mambo attended art school but he learned how to do tattoos on his own. His unstructured style has developed by accident.
“What inspired me most has probably been my passion for graphic designs and logos—I love simple shapes. Every day I’m encouraged by the objective of simplifying each image as much as possible and making it clear and intuitive using only a few black lines. But both black lines and colors are fundamental: the colors tell what the black lines can’t do,” he shared with This is Colossal.
