Marco Pepe was born in Naples, but throughout his life, he managed to live in several cities, including Paris, Munich, London, Milan, and also worked in various cities in the United States. According to Marco, all these places helped him learn and discover new directions in tattooing, immersing himself in the cultures that continue to inspire his work to this day. Currently, Marco works at the Encre Tattoo studio, located in one of the most prestigious areas of Naples.
Marco states that he always strives to create a tattoo that reflects the needs and desires of its owner while remaining unique and individual.
In his tattoos, Marco endeavors to blend the details of both drawing and photography. From fine art, the artist incorporates different and innovative forms, and from photography, he draws on shades of colors, chromatic contrasts, and details that collectively create a special effect.
Marco Pepe works in his own style, which he calls 'hard watercolor painting,' combining thick and rough lines with the airiness and brightness of watercolor techniques.
«My tattoo style is of strong pictorial inspiration, trying to follow the natural fluid movement of the paints, in order to give the subjects a plastic and movement verve. This allows me to create an "atmosphere" that embraces the subject who will follow particular movements and directions on the skin, embracing the muscle groups in order to find full integration with it», - Marco shares on his website.
