About Leo

Leo Cadenazzi is the senior artist at Funhouse. He trained in art schools in Brazil, and black and grey realism is his lane: portraits, animals, and shading soft enough to look like a photograph but built to hold its contrast as it heals.

He has spent most of his tattooing career at Funhouse and travels to conventions to show work and watch other hands. A practising Buddhist, he is patient with first tattoos and exact with large ones. For realism, he is the one to ask for.
