Who We Are
At Skin Ink, we believe tattooing is much more than a technique — it is art in its purest form, a powerful tool of expression, and a timeless symbol of identity. Born from the hands of tattoo artists, our brand was created with a single mission: to provide professional tools that preserve the authenticity of tattooing while pushing the art forward. Every Skin Ink cartridge is the result of real studio experience, designed with precision, safety, and performance in mind, so artists can focus on what matters most — turning creativity into lasting art.
Our motto, “As long as there is life, there will be art. Skin Ink, for the art”, is the essence of who we are. We believe that art is a universal language, capable of crossing borders and generations, and tattooing is one of its most authentic voices. Guided by this philosophy, Skin Ink develops high-performance cartridges with quality, durability, and consistency, always listening to the needs of tattoo artists and delivering solutions that truly elevate their work.
More than a brand, Skin Ink is a community. We proudly support and celebrate tattoo artists around the world, honoring the roots of tattoo culture while looking toward its future. Skin Ink exists for the artist who never stops evolving, for the professional who transforms skin into canvas, and for the community that believes tattooing is not just work — it is art, it is culture, it is life.
Founders
Skin Ink was born from the vision of two Brazilians who share the same passion for tattooing and innovation. Emilio Cerchiari, a tattoo artist with more than 30 years of experience, and Guilherme Guarnieri, a specialist in product development, international trade, and imports, combined their knowledge to create a brand that truly understands both the artistic and technical sides of the tattoo industry.
Their first conversation about creating Skin Ink happened back in 2018. For two years, they tested, improved, and refined every detail to deliver a cartridge with the highest possible standards of quality and technology. This careful process resulted in products that not only meet but exceed the expectations of professional tattoo artists.
Proudly Brazilian, Skin Ink carries its roots with authenticity while reaching the world. In just 5 years, the brand has grown consistently and expanded its presence internationally, opening operations in Canada, the United States, and Europe. With every step, Skin Ink strengthens its mission to support artists and elevate tattooing as a global art form.
Since its launch, Skin Ink has been embraced by artists from all over the world who identify with its purpose and values. The brand’s philosophy of valuing the artist and the art itself resonates across cultures, creating a strong bond with professionals who see Skin Ink not only as a supplier of products, but as a partner in their creative journey.
