About Us
Meet Dave & Pascal – The Creators Behind Inkademy.
To truly understand Inkademy, you need to get to know us first.
Dave, born and raised in Italy, is a self-taught tattoo artist with a passion for Anime-inspired tattoos. His journey into tattooing was one of dedication, learning, and honing his craft through countless hours of practice. On the other hand, Pascal is a creative chameleon. With a background that spans across the music industry, photography, fitness, and now tattooing, he’s always on the hunt for the next exciting project. The love for Anime is what brought the two of us together, but our shared vision for tattooing is what made us partners.
Very quickly, we realised we shared a common frustration – many tattoo artists, despite their talent, either lacked the technical skills or the business savvy needed to truly thrive in this industry. We noticed there wasn’t a comprehensive platform to teach aspiring artists both the art and the business of tattooing. So, we decided to fill that gap ourselves. Inkademy was born out of a passion for the craft and a mission to create a place where artists can learn to be not just good, but great.
Our vision goes beyond mastering a specific tattoo style. We’ve built Inkademy to offer aspiring and experienced tattoo artists a complete education, from technical mastery to business strategies. This project is our baby, designed to help you achieve real success in the tattoo industry.
This is who we are!
