Frank Luca is a classically trained fine artist and tattoo artist at Vatican Tattoo Studio in Delray Beach, Florida, with over 20 years of professional tattooing experience.

Born in Meriden, Connecticut, Frank demonstrated a natural talent for artistic expression from a young age recognized by family and teachers alike, and awarded as early as middle school. He began his college career at the University of Pittsburgh before transferring to the University of Miami, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1999. At UM, he studied art history and digital art forms while simultaneously apprenticing in tattooing a rare combination that laid the groundwork for a uniquely well-rounded career.

Following graduation, Frank worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for a publishing company, a scenic artist for an international event production company, and in art departments on film and television sets. He has created murals for private homes, exhibited in galleries across Miami and Connecticut, and had his work displayed at the 2006 Orange Bowl Halftime Show. He is perhaps best known to a wider audience for his appearance on Miami Ink, the hit TLC series.

In January 2026, Frank celebrated his 20th anniversary as a professional tattoo artist. He tattoos full-time at Vatican Tattoo Studio in Delray Beach while dedicating his personal time to oil painting and airbrushing.

((I keep forgetting to post…)) this month marks my 20th YEAR OF TATTOOING!! And what a wild and fun ride it’s been so far… ((minus the major cervical spine surgery last August thanks partially to abusing my body doing what I love 😹😹😹)) Not too many people know I actually started tattooing 30 years ago while in college at University of New Haven. I decided to apply to my dream school, University of Miami in April for the fall. If I didn’t get accepted, I was going to quit school and continue tattooing. I got accepted in 4 weeks, so it changed my whole path in life and I packed my bags and headed to Coral Gables, FL. Long story short, I became a Correction Officer… then Graphic Designer… then Mural Artist… then back to Tattoo Artist 10 whole years later!! It’s been a blast working and learning from some amazing artists/ coworkers/ friends by my side. And equally exciting tattooing and spending time with each and every one of my great clients new and old!! ((…I won’t bring up the couple of shitty ones 😹😹😹)) These last 20 years have allowed me to tattoo so many family and friends and even my friend’s kids who I’ve known since they were born… wild to fathom!! All over the country from CT to FL to CA. Around the world to Italy and Switzerland to Canada and even to Cuba 2 times!! I hope I have at least 20 more years in me!! THANK YOU EVERYONE!! 🤗🤗🤗 catch me with my boys at @vaticantattoodelray in Delray Beach FL and @brasscitytattoo in Watertown CT!!
