History
Established in 2014.
After tattooing in New York at Invisible NYC, Marco Serio relocated to Amsterdam in 2011, where he met his future life and business partner Sam while working at the same tattoo shop. With over 25 years of combined industry experience at the time, they set out to establish their own space with a clear mission: to set a new benchmark for quality tattooing in Amsterdam.
They built The Blue Blood Studios as an inspiring, quality-first collective where top-tier artists collaborate, elevate each other's work, and deliver exceptional custom tattoos to a global clientele.
Meet the Business Owner: Marco S.
Marco’s obsession with tattooing started early. After spending his youth hanging around shops and soaking in the culture, he bought his first machine to test on his own legs. That passion quickly became a lifelong career.
Driven to master the craft, Marco worked relentlessly before being invited by Troy Denning to join Invisible NYC. Working alongside heavyweights like Kiku and Regino Gonzales pushed his skills to an international standard. Following a brief stint opening a private studio in his native Portugal, Marco chose Amsterdam as his permanent home, founding The Blue Blood Studios to build his ultimate forever home for world-class tattoo art.
