Mario Balerio is a tattoo artist in Colorado Springs, CO whose work centres on realism. The 35 pieces on Perspectiv lean realism (50%) with a steady American traditional thread. About 48% of the pieces use colour, most often burgundy, coral and pink; the rest are black and grey. Skull, rose, lotus flower and viking king come up again and again. Most pieces sit on the forearm or the chest. There are 25 healed pieces in the set, not just fresh work. Portfolio last updated September 2026.
