Today we take you inside Sinked Art, a studio that has earned a strong reputation across Italy for its commitment to realism. Based in Pordenone, in the northeast of Italy, this studio has become a true reference point for realism in the Italian tattoo scene.
“Sinked Art was born from a shared need to create a space that truly reflected our vision of tattooing and art,” say Simone and Alessandro Covallero.
Founded by Alessandro and Simone Covallero, two brothers united by a deep passion for tattooing, Sinked Art is the result of a shared vision. Over the years, the studio has grown through the contribution of exceptional resident and guest artists, becoming a creative hub for those who see tattooing as a true art form.
The studio is particularly known for its focus on Black and Grey Realism, characterized by highly detailed compositions, soft gradients, and a deep attention to classical artistic references, while leaving room for individual stylistic interpretation. Alongside Alessandro and Simone, the Sinked Art team includes artists such as Federica, Stefano, Vanessa Carrer, and apprentice Alex Cameli, each bringing a distinct visual language that expands the studio’s identity well beyond realism alone.
“When we choose new artists to bring into the team, what matters most is the person rather than the style. It’s vital that we share ideals, passion, spirit of sacrifice, and mutual respect. We believe that diversity of languages, when it arises naturally, is one of the keys to true artistic growth”.
More than just a studio, Sinked Art is a place where tattooing is free to evolve — away from clichés, open to experimentation, and driven by artistic research. Despite Pordenone not being a large city, a significant part of our clientele is international. Each client reflects the personality of the artist they choose to be tattooed by, creating a natural balance between aesthetics and personal affinity.
During our visit, Alessandro and Simone Covallero told us about the journey behind the project, the evolution of the studio, and what Sinked Art represents today.
“We like to think of Sinked Art as a continuation and rebirth of the Italian artistic tradition, a kind of vindication of figure and symbol over those trends that have long relegated them to the margins”.
