Hey, I’m Luca Petrella—better known as Mr. Lama Tattoo.

I grew up in a small town in southern Italy, where my love for tattoos started early. Back in the 90s, I was completely inspired by the bold ink on punk rockers and musicians. That fascination had me diving into tattooing at just 16 years old, starting out with a homemade machine and some brave friends willing to let me experiment.

Fast forward over 25 years, and here I am in Amsterdam, doing what I love every single day.

My style is rooted in traditional tattooing—clean lines, bold designs, and timeless themes. I specialize in both vibrant color tattoos and detailed black-and-grey work. Whether it’s nautical pieces, vintage Western motifs, or classic sailor symbols, my goal is to create tattoos that stand out and last forever.

For me, tattooing isn’t just about the art; it’s about connecting with you and turning your idea into something unforgettable. Whether you’re after a big, detailed piece or a small, bold design, I’ll work with you to create something that feels completely personal and unique.
