The Trinacria is the symbol of Sicily. Biagio's client of Sicilian heritage wanted to emblazon her back with the image of her motherland. Biagio created an original representation of the Trinacria by utilizing elements of his client's personal life.

Here is a compilation of highlights of the "Trinacria". Original creation from Biagio. Notice how the eyes are in negative to show that the wearer "is" the representation of Sicily.

An apple for a teacher. This piece is part of a cover-up that incorporates the apple to symbolize the affection for her profession as a teacher and the autumn leaf to commemorate her favorite season. All work is an original creation, by Biagio, from consultation to freehand design on the skin.

Here is a Bald Eagle that has been utilized to cover an older eagle tattoo. An homage to his country, U.S.A., this client wanted to express his patriotism by having the national bird permanently embedded in his skin. The first attempt wasn't enough.

A Blue Crab was chosen by Biagios client to embody his native home and astrological sign, Cancer. His birth month and year was added as a marking to the claw to further personalize his ink. All art is Biagio's original free-hand creation.
