Hooked on the Look
I got my first Tattoo at 13 - Now I'm 80% Covered

This 33-year-old Italian tattoo artist has 85% of his body covered in tattoos - and he has no plans to stop. Buio, from Veneto, Italy, started tattooing on himself at age 13 when his mother bought him a basic tattooing kit. His first ever tattoo was on his face, and today most of his face is covered in full black ink. Having gone through a difficult childhood, Buio found his lost happiness in tattooing. Most of Buio's tattoos are inspired by Maori and Buddhist culture - and he has even added a Buddhist swastika to his neck. Buio used to play bass guitar and the drums and started to rap in 2009. Nowadays he is trying to make it as a trap rapper. His close friend Christian, who is also a tattoo artist, came to visit Buio for a one-off surprise tattoo session where the friends will give each other a tattoo at the same time.
