Ms. Petroccelli herself
Everyone was raving about it. It was hearsay though, no printed publicity at all, but all the jet setters were there…all the time. The line art skills Ms. Petroccelli possessed was incomparable.
She was from a small little town in Italy where she grew up cutting grapes on her family farm. One day, she accidentally cut her forearm….she dropped the grapes she was cutting, and they burst on the floor. She fell to the floor in pain, and smeared her arm in the grape juice. A couple of days later, the swirling purple lines along the cut were beautiful. She decided to experiment a little, in other parts of her body, and discovered she could apply other colors, with other types of inks, not just grape juice, and throughout her childhood, her designing skills became more and more refined.
Anna Petrocelli immigrated to the United States in 1982, and settled in a little town right outside of New York City. She soon established her tattoo shop, were movie stars from the city came to by the dozens. Today, the shop is world renowned, and her skills are spoken about with admiration and respect.
