Alberto Brunello (he/they) - Berlin

The fastest pattern tattooer in west, Bru makes it look easy. Check out the world of @a.brunello @hheexxnn @thebodyofreverbs

Bru cultivates a painting, printing making, music producing, and has developed a radical tattooing practice (which is a breath of fresh air utilising mag drag techniques within the world of pattern).

We first met either in London at Michele’s private studio or here in Berlin for a Body Of Reverbs orchestrated at a friends studio down the road. Since then and many times over the years, we have come to know each other but never in the context of sharing tattooing space at the same time.

Bru came to guest at the studio for the first time as we had planned to trade tattoos (I had been patiently awaiting the right moment for tattooing my body again from a place of balanced wellness). We challenged ourselves and the ritual by recording the audio of the whole process that Bru offered me (I would have not been comfortable if the tables were turned on my rituals with others). I really appreciate the thin glaze between reality and projection.

As the world keeps shifting, the studio residents shuffle, and my dear friends start to visit Berlin again.
