Marco Galdo is an Italian tattoo artist that designs individual tattoos for each of his clients. He refuses to do a tattoo design more than once, because he wants each design to be as unique as the person wearing it. Working out of his studio in Milan, Traffickers of Art, Galdo fuses tribal designs with sacred geometry to create dotwork tattoos that are a celebration of life and art. Mandalas are a recurring theme in Marco Galdo’s tattoos; you can learn more about the meaning of mandala tattoos on rattatattoo.com here.
