The 2022 Milano Tattoo Convention was pretty hectic, with hundreds of world-class artists under one roof for three days of work.

We paid a visit to some of our favourites to get timelapses of their work in progress - check out the videos below for incredible tattoo artistry from Duda Lozano, Johnny Dots, Caterina Molin, Dangy Tattoo, El Whyner, Giulia Semprini, and Samuele Tavazzi.

Brazilian artist Duda Lozano has made a name for himself creating lifelike fabric patch tattoos and we watched him create this Homer Simpson patch reaching out to lick a pink doughnut at the 2022 Milano Tattoo Convention.

Johnny Dots

Co-owner of Custom Ink in Luxembourg, Johnny Dots creates intricate dotwork and blackwork tattoos, and he was at the 2022 Milano Tattoo Convention inking a decorative swan tattoo with floral and ornamental elements.
