Amazing tattoo experience. I worked with Tommaso via Instagram and WhatsApp to book my first ever tattoo. He was great in sharing ideas and placements, he is truly an artist. They really work with you to make your dream tattoo come to life. I got a small rendition of a famous cherub painting. They do super detailed work and fine line tattoos, micro-tattoos too! I'd recommend them to anyone in Italy or traveling to Italy! Tommaso helped to make my first tattoo a great experience, he made me feel super comfortable and excited about the process. read more

My husband and I were visiting and decided that we wanted to get tattoos. We ended up walking over to the shop and were told that they accept walk ins and usually have a line right when they open. (They post the time on their Instagram account) We ended up returning the next day and had no problem at all. The artists are all very friendly and give great advice / opinions. They truly care and it shows. They walked us through the entire process. I highly recommend coming here. I hope to come back soon for more! read more

Bad Brother's Tattoo Studio - Locket tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Florence, FI

Came here based on Google photos and their IG. I had 2 days in Florence and really wanted a tattoo from Italy. I came at 4:30 but walk ins were already booked even though when we DM'd him on IG he said to "come through." When we got there, he had no more time so we were encouraged to come back the next day at 12PM. I came at 11:45 AM. As I met with the owner-- I was questioned with what I wanted and I showed him a font that was on his IG page. His face was bewildered. Then he asked where I wanted the placement and I told him to which he responded with "do you have another placement preferences." He said he could only do something small and I said yes that's perfect and what we want. The entire time, I felt like he didn't want to take us and it felt like he was combatting everything I was saying. I had a train later in the afternoon and he said he didn't want to rush the tattoo which is totally fair but this isn't my first tattoo and getting something small shouldn't take 4 hours. All in all I felt like at the end of our conversation I didn't mesh with him and he came off as a pompous rude "artist." I'm glad I didn't go through with picking him as my artist. It's just unfortunate I had such a bad experience here. read more

Highly recommend Bad Brother's! My husband and I walked into the shop around 12:30 and Alessandro was extremely accommodating with us as we didn't have an appointment and wanted to see if he could fit us in. Alessandro was extremely gentle and kind with me as this was my very first tattoo! He made me feel extremely comfortable and welcomed in his shop. The conversation was great and he made us feel like family. They offer you a beer after you finish your tattoo. read more

Cannot stress enough how amazing this studio is! Alex, the artist who inked my tattoo, was amazing; incredibly friendly and warm. I felt 100% at ease and welcomed. The studio itself is on the smaller side and located just outside the Florence city center (about a 20 minute walk from the Duomo). It's super clean and minimalistic, yet cozy. Alex played a mix of oldies and rockabilly-esque music which honestly added to the whole experience. As far as the actual process it was pretty ideal. He was able to fit me in last minute and spoke to me about my tattoo idea. He gave me some suggestions about what he personally/professionally thought would look best. Having just said that; he did make and place a stencil of exactly what I wanted where I wanted before I decided it looked horrible. Once I could see what I thought I had wanted, I saw why Alex had suggested what he had (this guy really knows his stuff)! I opted for a vertical version of my original design down the middle of my spine and I honestly couldn't be happier! Alex was super attentive throughout the inking process checking in on me to ask if I was doing okay and letting me know when it might hurt. He is very light handed and professional; at no point during my time with him did I feel uncomfortable. Things to know: Only accept cash (there's an ATM down the street); Speaks english fluently; LOVE foreigners; and 10/10 would recommend! read more

Where do I start?! I came to Florence from Phoenix for a Vacation and wanted a beautiful/memorable tattoo. I contacted Bad Brothers Tattoo and Tommaso was so quick to reply! He was so kind and cared about what I wanted and listened to me. He explained where the types of tattoos I wanted would look best and work best being tattooed and he gave his ideas of what we could do and where (He had me come in a couple days prior to my appointment to get to know me and get an idea of what I wanted then drew up a gorgeous tattoo for me!!!!) I absolutely love his work, (from the moment you step foot in the studio you know these brothers are talented beyond anything you can imagine! My first word when I stepped into the studio was WHOA! I was absolutely impressed) Tommaso was so sweet and made sure everything from the tattoo to my comfort was perfect during the tattooing process and since I had a such a short visit in Florence he spent all day tattooing me, making sure everything was how I wanted it. -- I don't think I could have left any studio happier than I did today. (And I have 5 other tattoos, some from Phoenix, some from Portland Oregon, and some from San Francisco.... etc etc) I definitely recommend Tommas and Bad Brothers Tattoo! The two brothers are absolutely superb and no matter which brother you get a tattoo from I guarantee you will cherish it and love it and want to immediately show it off!!!! read more

I cannot recommend this studio enough. The tattoo could have been terrible and the experience would've been worthy of 5 stars. Alessandro did tattoos for my wife and I (the second we got to Firenze) he allowed us to store our luggage in a closet in their tight studio. His staff was incredibly friendly and professional. They take the necessary health precautions, not allowing too many people in the studio at once but they are super friendly, you should strike up a conversation with one of the other artists while you wait if you need to. Let me start by saying that everyone at this place does wonderful work but my wife and I can speak to the experience with Alessandro (Alex). He is WORLD-CLASS. I'm not covered in tattoos but I'm certainly not new to them either. His clean work and shading was exactly what I wanted from this piece. He communicated well through WhatsApp from booking to the day of. Take a look at his geometric designs on their Instagram if you get the chance. He customizes them for each person. For those who are English speaking, don't hesitate, they communicate perfectly! All said and done, if I'm in Italy again, I'll be making a special trip to Florence for another tattoo. Cannot recommend Bad Brothers enough and I'm surprised they don't have more reviews. For those of you concerned with cost, the prices are very fair as well. An absolute gem of a studio! read more

I can't express how much of a pleasure it was to meet and be tattooed by Alessandro and Tommaso today. My mom, 2 sisters, and I each got tattoos and we are beyond thrilled with the final products. The shop is so inviting and the artwork really showcases their incredible talent. We loved the down to earth but professional vibe and the brothers made sure we all had a great experience. As my mom and I have had previous tattoos, it should be noted that these were by far the best ones we've had. They were fairly pain-free and the line work was immaculate, which definitely catered to my inner perfectionist :) Highly recommend to anyone and everyone! read more

My friend and I made an impulse decision to get a tattoo and it was the best decision we've made. The atmosphere of the shop is beautiful. The brothers are sweethearts and have great music taste. Alessandro made sure we were comfortable during the process. We will definitely be back! read more

Came here yesterday while on vacation and could not be happier with the experience!! Alessandro and Tommaso were both very professional, yet warm and welcoming. I was late for my appointment and they were very gracious about it. Alessandro did my work and gave me exactly what I wanted. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and patiently helped me make adjustments. His lines are smooth, precise and consistent; I absolutely love my new piece! The shop is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Extremely fair prices as well. Great spot if you don't speak Italian, as they are multilingual and ready to help. Highly recommend Bad Brothers for a tattoo in Florence; truly talented and passionate about their art. The entire experience from start to finish was awesome, and I am so grateful for my beautiful new tattoo! read more

This is so long overdue and I should have written this a long time ago but this studio is amazing! I came last spring while studying in Florence and got tattooed by Alessandro. Both tattoos I got are beautiful and healed perfectly. He was incredibly knowledgable, very patient with me through the process, and a lot of fun. I felt completely at ease the whole time and had a great experience! I would 100% recommend this studio and will definitely be returning if I'm ever back in Florence. read more

Wow, what a fabulous place to get amazing body art! I've never seen more beautiful and meaningful art made into tattoos than here. It's hard to describe the level of detail and artistry but you won't be disappointed. We were so lucky to have both Alex and Tomasso (brothers) working on us and it was a treat so see them in action. The cleanliness and care that they used with each of us was beyond reproach and each of our tattoos was taken very seriously even though they weren't large, graphic pieces. And the pain?? Well, honestly there was very little. I've had other work done elsewhere and it was fairly excruciating and certainly not pleasant. Maybe a 7 out of 10 on the pain scale. Not here, we had 4 of us getting tattooed and we all agreed that the pain was less than a 2. Both brothers have a light touch with the needle but because of their professionalism and detailed aftercare instructions, you know the work will last. I can't recommend this awesome place more highly. Don't think twice about your choice to go here, you won't regret your choice. For tourists, It's a perfect reminder of your fabulous trip to Italy and for residents, you're lucky that you live close by! read more
