about  Flavia

Professional piercer since 2010, after a two-year apprenticeship. My training took shape in London, where I worked at one of the city's most historic studios. Back in Italy, I chose to settle in Rome, at Ink Factory Tattoo Roma, Valentina Calaresu's studio.

Since 2010 Trained in London Legacy Tattoo Academy Instructor
A safe, welcoming and inclusive space, where everyone can feel free to express themselves through piercing.

Whether you want to mark an important moment in your life, affirm your identity, decorate your body, or simply do something for yourself, you'll find respect, listening and care. I believe in a human, empathetic and personalised approach, that considers not only the body, but also the story and intentions of the people who trust me. I also stay constantly up to date on new techniques, jewellery developments and individual anatomy, for a service that's always tailored to you.
