Franco Vescovi was a normal neighborhood kid who grew up in a family of
seven near Central and Bristol in southwest Santa Ana, California. His
family grew up free of luxuries but never free of good times. Growing up
with five brothers and sisters and no money, a healthy imagination
became the source for fun in the Vescovi household, with the creation of
homemade toys, homemade tetherball courts, and Hefty trash bag
slip-and-slides. Franco has been tattooing for the past 21 years and is
best known for his black and grey tattoo work. Franco's self-training
method of tattooing is the epic example of a catch-22. Many others have
learned similarly as Franco, which was the best way to learn for his
particular environment and mindset. Starting the humble way not only
forced Franco to learn how to tattoo, but put in all the effort he had
within himself. Such a method strong-armed Franco into paying attention
to every bit of detail in the artwork. "Tattooing with a single needle
makes you feel like you're tattooing under a magnifying glass."
Currently, Franco owns and operates the infamous Bishop Rotary tattoo
machine as well as owning Vatican Studios in Lake Forest, CA.
