I’m Bobby Cupparo, a color realism tattoo artist working in New York City and based in New Jersey. I specialize in custom, high-contrast color realism tattoos that combine clean execution, strong imagery, and long-term durability.

Raised in New Jersey just outside New York City, I was drawn to tattooing as a balance between technical skill and creative interpretation. Over time, my work has developed into a style focused on clarity, contrast, and originality — tattoos that are visually striking without relying on trends or overcomplication.

I currently tattoo out of Love Machine Tattoo Studio in SoHo, New York City. I work on projects of all sizes, from smaller detailed pieces to large-scale compositions, and focus primarily on color realism, portraits, and custom illustrative tattoos. Every piece is designed specifically for the client, taking into account placement, longevity, and overall impact.

I work best with clients who value thoughtful collaboration and are interested in creating something intentional, well-executed, and built to last.
