Born in Vicenza, Italy 1979. Since 1993 I’ve been doing graffiti and I’ve always been interested in drawing. In 1999 I started to draw motives for tattoos and a few years later in 2002 I opend up Inksidetattooing downtown Vicenza. That meant becoming Lupo or Horiokami (also using traditional japanese technique, Tebori) During my first trip to Japan I had the honour to meet Horiyoshi III where he gave me the permission to use my japanese traditional name, as the tradition say. It was a big step for me as an artist. My favourite styles are American oldschool and traditional Japanese. My biggest inspirations comes from great artists such as Kunyoshi, Kunisada, Kyosai, Hokusai, Horikoi, Horiyoshi III, Horitomo, Scott Sylvia, Chris Conn, Horiyasu, Chris Trevino, Horico, Theo Mindell, Jeff Whitehead, Dan Higgs.
