There is no question that Benjamin Mannarino’s body of work is accompanied with his own visions of passing cityscapes and state lines. With guest spots in New York, California, Michigan, Virginia, Arizona and numerous other places that may host a festival or rally where he can spread his art, Bene possesses all of the qualities found in a born-to-be artist.

Starting to tattoo at just13, Mannarino made his way to Ft. Lauderdale by way of Michigan to apprentice under revolutionary artist Myles “Tatts” Taylor by the age of 17. Today, Bene boasts an award in the “Best Overall” category from the 2008 NYC Tattoo Convention, clientele that includes one of David Bowie’s guitar players, and a portfolio that extends across the country.

Bene Mannarino continues to preserve the identities of those that cross his path - each piece never completed without an in-depth understanding of the person and story at hand. You can catch Bene on the road this fall and working independently in California this September.
