"A tamed woman will never leave her mark in the world." - Robert M. Drake

"There is no more personal a piece of art than that which is part of your own body." - Gin

 

My name is Barbara 'Gin' Naggi. My artistic passion is tattoos and what they say about us, our cultures and our world. They are our stories writ large or small, black or color, abstract or realistic. I was classically trained at the Liceo Artistico F. Casorati in Novara, the Academia di Belle Arti - Brera in techniques of engraving and in Product Design at Naba in Milan, before I found my passion...The art of tattooing. After apprenticing and working professionally for three years at Mr. Hill's Tattoo Studio in Novara, I have now opened my own studio - MOD Made of Dot. Here you will get the attention to detail and artistic excellence that you deserve. I listen to my client's ideas and work with them to create designs and stories that fully express who they are.

I specialize in Blackwork and Dotwork, but am versed in all forms of tattoo expression. I'm currently working in collaboration with Gl'Illustri Tatuati (Italy) and am accepting commissions in Europe, the U.K. and the United States.
