My name is Leonardo Branco but you can call me Leo. I’m a tattoo artist originally from Brazil and have been living in Berlin for the past 13 years.

I studied art and design and opened my first tattoo studio in Brazil around 18 years ago. Music brought me to Europe—touring with bands and friends eventually led me to settle in Berlin.

When it comes to tattoos, it can be challenging to translate an idea into a piece of art that flows naturally with the body. But it’s also a deeply personal and unique way to express yourself and your mindset. I specialize in neo-traditional and neo-Japanese tattoos, but I’m always up for a challenge. 🙂

For me, composition is everything—it’s what makes a tattoo work. It’s about how layers, backgrounds and foregrounds interact to create flow and harmony on the body. If you’re looking for a custom piece, get in touch and let’s create something together!
