Riccardo Rossi, known by his artistic name Pelleossa, is an Italian tattoo artist based in Milan, though his career has taken him to work in several international cities. His passion for art began during a long hospital stay, where he started to devote himself intensively to drawing. After an experience in London, which marked a turning point in his creative vision, he turned to tattooing after exploring painting and clothing design. Upon moving to Milan, he began creating his first tattoos and later enriched his professional experience with stints in studios in Berlin, London, and Switzerland, where he managed a studio for three months. The stage name "Pelleossa" comes from his physique and a personal story that he prefers to keep private. His art is distinguished by a narrative approach, creating tattoos that tell unique stories, reflecting both his clients’ experiences and his own personal vision. Riccardo is constantly influenced by various forms of art, such as cinema, music, and painting, which fuel his ongoing creative exploration and process.
