Works at Electric Rooster.
Stefano's journey into the world of tattoos began with a deep-seated love for the intricate designs of traditional Japanese tattoos. His quest for mastery took him across continents, where he honed his craft under the watchful eyes of seasoned masters. But Stefano's dedication to the art didn't stop at traditional techniques; he embraced innovation with open arms. Eight years ago, Stefano planted his flag in St Kilda, opening his own studio. Here, amidst the buzzing of needles and the scent of ink, he crafted masterpieces that honored the legacy of Irezumi. But Stefano's repertoire wasn't limited to traditional methods alone; he also embraced Tebori, the ancient Japanese hand-poking technique, adding an extra layer of authenticity to his work.
