Black Serum Tattoo

"I’m so lucky I found Anita Rossi to design my Hilma af Klint inspired tattoo! I had a wonderful experience working with Anita through the design process and her fine line tattoo work is delicate and skilled. Check out her work on Instagram and make an appointment when she’s in SF at Black Serum !!"

"Amazing experience with Anita. She takes time and care to understand your vision and anatomy, ensuring your tattoo fits you uniquely and personally. Her methodology and skills are clear from your first conversation. Thank you Anita for sharing your craft and the great conversation! I hope for many more in the future."

"I came to San Francisco to work with Anita Rossi. I am so honored to have had the opportunity. She not only is an amazing artist with a unique style, she is a lovely person and fun to work with. I had an idea for a tattoo, inspired in part from seeing her portfolio. I told her the idea, and she gave beautiful form to it; it is everything I had wanted. It amazes me and everyone who has seen it. One of the best parts of working with Anita is that, while you will love the results, SHE also loves doing the work. I gave her an idea and opportunity to be creative with it, and it seemed like she was almost as happy to make the design as I was to receive it. And I don't think that attitude was just customer service and wanting my business. She is an artist first, and maybe not a business person at all (which seems obvious once you learn that she depends on her partner to be the business one). If you have an idea and want an someone you can trust to turn it into an awesome work of art, I can't recommend Anita strongly enough. Even if you need to travel to do so, you should do it."

"I couldn't be more grateful for this as my first tattoo experience. I flew in from Philly specifically to work with Anita Rossi, a guest artist from Italy that I've been following for several years. Simply put, working with Anita is a treat. We exchanged thoughts on the design beforehand and her work was perfect. On the morning of the appointment I was greeted by Anita's outgoing energy and enthusiasm that made the 7+ hour sitting fly by. I'm thrilled with the final result and can't wait to work with her on project number two, three, four...and more. The Black Serum studio is stunning—it's incredibly clean, spacious, has a fantastic vibe, and the staff is extremely talented, friendly, and helpful. As soon as I entered the waiting area, I felt confident in my decision and knew that I was going to leave with a piece I was proud of. If you're in search of an exceptional tattoo experience, I highly recommend Anita and Black Serum. They exceeded all of my expectations and I will be back in a few months."

"I researched for several months to find an artist and a place for my first tattoo, and the artist, Norina, and the Black Serum studio exceeded all my expectations. They were all highly professional, extremely talented, and care deeply about their work and about making sure clients are happy. The owner, Brucius von Xlander, captures his passion and the work of his fellow artists in a beautifully crafted book which he gave me for free after my session, along with a Tshirt, tattoo cream, and very clear aftercare instructions. My experience was so excellent, I made an appointment for two more tattoos! I highly recommend both Norina and the Black Serum studio!"
