His name is Romeo, our Instagram favorite poet, who tells love on the skin with sinuous lines. These tattoos are illustrated poems: each project comes from a preparatory drawing, apparently simple. In reality in this essentiality of forms, many deeper meanings are hidden, which are represented with a delicacy and a sometimes naive imagination. Wildflowers, faces, and naked bodies are recurrent elements, which suggest us an attention to the essence of things and their primitive origin.

Is Romeo the new romantic of tattoo art?

Perhaps Romeo does not care so much to tattoo his Juliet, but more to impress the idea of love itself, this makes him an incurable new romantic.

“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I’ll no longer be a Capulet”.

The reference to Shakespearean Romeo comes immediately to mind, but here it becomes something new and more immediate, which translates into an image. If you also want to fall in love you can visit his Instagram profile.
