Made to be yours.
Experience in every line.
I’m Rico Dionichi. Over 20 years of tattooing, I’ve worked with clients across roughly 25 states and in shops including Miami Beach’s renowned Love Hate Miami Ink. That experience shapes every piece I create—from black & gray realism and portraits to custom illustration.
Tell me what you have in mind. I’ll review your references, placement, and size, then work with you on a piece that fits your vision.
Request your tattoo.
Start with your idea. Include a few references and the details below so I can assess the project and recommend the right session.
4 Hours —
Four hours of actual tattooing. Please allow additional time for preparation and placement, included in your session price. I generally book one client per day, giving us room to settle in and focus on your piece and your comfort. Choose your music, watch something, or put on headphones and make yourself comfortable.
Submitting a request is free and does not reserve an appointment. Four-hour sessions are $1,000 total. After acceptance, a $100 deposit reserves your appointment and is credited toward the total, leaving $900 due on tattoo day. Please allow additional time for preparation and breaks. The amount we can complete depends on your design, size, placement, and detail; projects requiring more tattooing time are quoted individually.
