My story

FROM A SMALL ISLAND IN MALTA TO THE HEART OF NEW YORK CITY, STEVO BUILT HIS NAME THE DISCIPLINED WAY YEARS OF OBSESSIVE PRACTICE AND A RELENTLESS EYE FOR PROPORTION, LIGHT, AND RESTRAINT.

Stevo’s path has always been shaped by intention. Leaving Malta to build a life in New York took the same mindset he brings to tattooing now: earn trust, keep standards uncompromising, and let the work speak. He is a match for people who seek a rare standard in forming the perfect piece, knowing that a tattoo is not a purchase but a decision they will live with daily
