That`s all she wrote.
The books not over....
Just a new chapter.
As I sit here at the old shop, reminiscing, after making tattoos here for the past 10 years, it`s a pretty somber feeling. Im excited for what lies ahead, and grateful for the amazing times and absolute magic that has been created in this building. But regardless, I`m still a little sad to go.
Life is wild and unpredictable, but Im once again going with my gut. It has worked for me thus far, gotta stay the course. As hard as leaving comfort can be.... the excitement and energy of a new shop, new building, and new location is what I think I`ve been missing.
I needed a new challenge. I needed a new goal.
So far, I`ve met it.
Is it fate? I dunno. Maybe. Manifest destiny?!? Possibly. All I do know, is that im incredibly fortunate to have the people in my life that push me, and support my crazy dreams and goals. Without them, none of this would be possible.
I love tattooing, probably too much at times. But one this is for certain, it has provided. Both good and bad, but whatever is neccessary at the times they`re needed. Tattooing can raise you up and boost your ego, or crush you down and humble you real quick. It gives you what you give back. You just have to listen ....
I look forward to the future, and the new ABSOLUTE MAGIC that we will share with the world, at Vatican Tattoo Studio.
TATTOO FOREVER
See y`all next weekend, at:
271 NE 6th Ave. Delray Beach Fl. 33483

@vaticantattoodelray
The time has come....drumroll........
Vatican Tattoo Delray is RELOCATING!!!
After 10 amazing years in Pineapple Grove, we are moving on. The new location in just 4 blocks away, on 6th Ave.
Bigger, cheaper, cooler, and better driving traffic. It was meant to be. Free standing building, built in 1950, with style for miles, and our own parking lot.
We will keep all of our clients in the loop as far as when we are officially in the new place. We couldn`t do it without all of you. We look forward to making more solid tattoos, and great memories in our new location!!
Stay tuned to my page, as well as the @vaticantattoodelray

when @torafloraplants reminds me of that time I found grown adults talking shit about my handwriting on #reddit 😂😂😂 …then they also bruised @rootedrarities ego ((not really😂😂😂)) we found it pretty amusing. I’ve pissed off quite a few teachers back in high school long long ago but it never stopped me… ((maybe it all stems back from Sister Mary Williams slapping my left hand with a ruler for turning my paper while I was drawing in the 3rd grade… apparently you weren’t allowed to spin the paper any way but straight 😂😂😂)) I will continue to write like this till until my last day… if you don’t like it… 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ #floridaman
A couple from this weekend back at good ol’ @vaticantattoodelray …THANKS MATT & JAIDEN!! I have a few spots available for tattoos this week.

((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!!
What’s up my peeps!! Happy Sunday!! If you haven’t already heard, I got cleared from my spinal surgeon and I’M BAAAAAA-ACKKKKKKK!! and tattooin’ again with my good ol’ pals at @vaticantattoodelray !! Been warming up a lil with some smaller projects to see how the neck feels and I’m ready to start tattooing big projects again!! BIG or small… any style!! Illustrative… bold traditional… bright color… smooth black and gray!! I’m ready to see all of my friends and loyal again!! And I’ll be taking new clients!! Thank you all for your patience!! You can contact me here or email me or call the shop!!
I’ll also be heading back to the WORLD FAMOUS @brasscitytattoo in Watertown CT regularly every couple of months again to see all of my peeps up there starting in February!!
Thanks to everyone for your kindness and patience!! Let’s start this new year off with some big and bright and bold pieces!! 🥳🥳🥳
((Also… GO CANES!! 🙌🙌🙌 kick some ass on January 19 in the CFP CHAMPIONSHIPS!! 🙌🙌🙌))

Happy Veteran’s Day to all the badasses out there!! Here’s PapaLuca, some of my badass friends @tommyrazor @infinite_irons @beeogio and one more of Uncle Joe with some of his medals!! #veteransday #usmc #usarmy #purpleheart #navycross
This is my Uncle Joe Luca. One of the baddest mofo’s I know. He fought for the US as an Italian citizen, which he was later granted his American citizenship. #Vietnam #NavyCross recipient. “In 1967, during the Vietnam War, Luca carried four wounded members of his Marine platoon to safety under heavy fire. Luca was given numerous recognitions for his bravery and for saving the members of his platoon despite being wounded in the process. He is well-known for his military accomplishments, earning the nation’s second-highest decoration, the Navy Cross.” #usmc #marines #veteransday #thankyou Uncle Joe’s portrait tattoo by @gabetuckertattoos …Uncle Joe’s helmet/ Purple Heart/ Navy Cross/ #americanflag by @loujacque
