Marco Matarese is a tattoo artist and the founder of studio PURO in Milan. He studied painting at the Brera Academy and spent 13 years painting frescoes and wall decorations in churches, castles, and villas. He later decided to make the switch to tattooing and opened his own studio to focus his energy on ink.
His artistic background helped him catch people's attention and, thanks to social media, he quickly built up a following and a line of clients interested in his style. Over the years, he has honed his skills and become an expert in the etching technique–an adaptation of this ancient art form applied to skin.
