About Patch / Embroidery Tattoos
This style is not unique to Caio, but he has truly mastered it and is one of the few artists in the United States who specializes in it.
Patch (or embroidery-style) tattoos are extremely intricate and require a high level of patience and attention to detail. Because of that, they are time-intensive. The average patch tattoo is about palm-sized and typically takes around 3 hours to complete. More complex designs—especially those with multiple colors and fine details—can take up to 5 hours.
Not every design translates well into a patch tattoo. Caio is always 100% honest about that and will provide feedback or suggest adjustments when needed. Some designs simply don’t read well in this style, especially when considering long-term durability and clarity over time.
- Best placements for patch tattoos include:
Calves (including side of calf), thighs, biceps, triceps, inner forearm, and upper arm/shoulder.
To achieve the signature “stitched” effect, Caio uses multiple shades of the same color—meaning each “flat” color actually requires 3–4 different inks. Because of this, traditional gradients usually don’t translate well into patch tattoos. Simpler, solid designs tend to work best.
That said, don’t feel limited—Caio will always work with your idea, offering guidance to make sure the final result looks as strong as possible both visually and long-term.
TIP: Get creative
You can make the main subject a patch tattoo and combine it with other elements in a different style around it. This contrast often makes the patch stand out even more.

Caio isn’t just a tattoo artist — he’s someone who genuinely loves what he does.

How It Works — From Idea to Ink
Simple, straightforward, and designed around you.
Step 1Send Your Idea
It all starts with an email. Tell Caio about your tattoo idea — the subject, the style, the placement, and the size. Throw in reference images if you have them. The more detail, the better the result.
Step 2Design & Quote
Caio reviews your request and gets back to you with a quote and available dates. If needed, you'll go back and forth a little to make sure the concept is exactly right before anything is finalized.
Step 3Lock It In
Once you're both happy with the plan, a $100 deposit secures your spot on the calendar. That's it — your date is yours.
Step 4Show Up & Get Inked
Come in on the day, see the final design, and let Caio do his thing. The deposit is credited toward the total, so you just pay the difference when it's done.
