Elena hails from the great city of Bologna, Italy, where her love for tattoos sparked at a young age. Growing up in a creative family, it was a no-brainer for her to dive into art school. She kicked off her tattoo journey in 2009 by tattooing her friends, and just a year later, got her hands on some real experience in a tattoo shop. Fast forward to 2014, she took a bold step and opened her own studio, Old Bones Tattoo, which has been thriving for a decade!

Now, craving some fresh inspiration, she’s landed in Amsterdam and joined the Blue Blood Family. Elena is all about traditional and Japanese tattooing, with that unique Elena flavor. She even crafts her own prison-style tattoo machines for special projects. Lately, she’s been exploring Linocut, which has really added a special twist to her tattoo style. Catch Elena at the studio every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday, as well as the occasional Sunday!
