About John

John D'Addario — portraitThe Artist
John with award at TampaTampa · 2nd place

John D'Addario runs Inkport People — a studio in Miami (Hollywood area) built around a single idea: every piece is a collaboration. By appointments, no walk-ins. Just conversations, sketches, coffee, and finally the needle.

Twenty years on the gun. Ten of them lived and worked in Russia, immersed in a culture and craft that shaped the distinct style he's known for today: sketch lines, watercolor bleeds, neon palettes, realism rendered like cinema stills.

Recognised in Tampa, Orlando and Miami, Florida conventions. Featured in international tattoo press. But the real measure — clients who fly across the country and come back every year with new ideas.

I recently got to my appointment to have my kanji graffiti tattoo applied, I can't say enough about how happy I am with everything. John did such an amazing job with the artwork and it was a pleasure working with him through the process.

I have been looking for a design that felt like me and incorporated some of my favorite things. After looking for a few years John created the perfect piece for me. I have never seen tattoos quite like these.

Man. What can I say. What a great experience. John is a very interesting guy who has traveled and lived all over the world. Spending 8 hours with him, talking about life and listening to music made the whole experience that much better.

John is an absolutely amazing artist. He took what I wanted and made it into a great tattoo I didn't think was possible. He really helped create a tattoo that honors my lost loved ones. He does an excellent job with color.

John is the man! I gave him concepts for a tattoo and he knocked it out of the park. I knew his work was amazing, but he blew my expectations.
