#tattoo #tattoos #tattoo #tattoointerview
Another appointment with a new format behind the art that will be released weekly on Friday
Today we have as a guest Mino Spadacini the one who opened the first tattoo studio in Italy and one of the founding fathers of tattoo in Italy
The white shirt (without even a crease) and the tie (with his beloved horses) clash with the stereotype of the gloomy and "energetic" tattoo artist of the collective imagination. Mino Spadacini is an institution. He is 74 years old (he shows many less), he is elegant (wears vests and jackets), smiling, has a strong Milanese accent, plays the trumpet and is fond of rodeos.
When he started tattooing in the late 1960s, there was no professional in town. He was the first in Milan (and in Italy). «I attended the Accademia di Brera, the drawing was in my hands. I painted on all surfaces, I lacked the skin ». At 20, he made a trip to Hong Kong, boarded a taxi and asked the driver to take him to a tailor. For a misunderstanding he found himself in a tattoo studio: «There were marines lying on the ground who had their backs drawn, it was the era of the Vietnam War - he says -. The owners asked me to portray something, I pretended to be a relative of Raphael and discovering my artistic skills were enthusiastic. I stayed on the island for a long time. Then it was the turn of San Francisco, Hamburg, London and Milan ». When he returned to Italy, only underworld people or sailors were tattooed. In Norway, Sweden and Japan, however, it was an art reserved for the nobility.
