We had the good fortune of connecting with Antonio Di Loreto and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Antonio, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’ve start tattooing when I was 17 yo ( 30 years ago) , it’s always been my hobby and my passion and in the mean time I was working another job. I was born and raised in Italy and when I decided to move to the USA I made my passion for tattooing my job and my time much more valuable

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Like I said I’ve started tattooing when I was 17 and I never stopped ever since. I toke multiple classes to get where I am now always eager for learning new styles and techniques and moving to the USA helped a lot because the culture about tattoos is different ( from my country) , people are trustful and give me the freedom to be creative. I have the opportunity to express myself in all kind of style and that makes me growing professionally day after day. Even though I can work on different styles my favorite is the black and grey realism and this is the style that makes me one of the best artist in my area

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I am living in Fort Lauderdale and in my opinion is the most beautiful city in South Florida. This city is offering everything a tourist could possibly want, beaches , all kind of restaurant , shopping centers , hotels, casinos etc. well connected to everything, Miami is an easy 40 mins drive, a huge port where to take a ferry to the Bahamas or long weekend cruise, a comfy train ( or 4 hours driving) to the universal studios and Disney world in Orlando . And for those who like a little adventure the Everglades are the perfect spot for a day trip.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have to thank my husband for giving me the courage to make a big change in my life, the courage to quit a job , leave family and friends and my own country following my dreams to live a life I’ve always wanted and for supporting me before I start my own business . And of course I want to thank my family, my mom and my two brothers , for supporting my decisions
