Guilherme Virginello is a black and grey tattoo artist based at The Church Tattoo whose work reflects a huge range of influences, cultures, and artistic experience. Half Brazilian and half Italian, Gui originally began his tattoo journey in São Paulo before later working in Italy, eventually bringing his style and experience over to the Midlands, where he has become a key part of the studio and its identity.

Specialising in all aspects of black and grey tattooing, Gui's versatility is one of his biggest strengths. From smooth Chicano-inspired work and realistic portraits to intricate Greek statues, religious imagery, fine textures, and large-scale custom concepts, he has the ability to move between styles while still maintaining a strong and recognisable quality throughout his work. His tattoos are known for their depth, contrast, and technical precision, with an almost obsessive attention to detail that becomes more noticeable the longer you look at them.

What makes Gui stand out isn't just his technical ability, but the way he approaches tattooing as a whole. He's an incredibly generous and kind-hearted person who genuinely cares about both his clients and the people around him. Whether it's helping another artist, staying late to perfect a piece, or simply making people feel comfortable, he brings a calm and thoughtful presence into the studio that people naturally gravitate towards.

That said, there's also another side to Gui that the studio knows very well. Alongside the precision and professionalism comes a very sharp and slightly chaotic sense of humour, usually arriving in the form of what the team affectionately refers to as "Mis Gui-ef" — moments of harmless mischief, jokes, or complete unpredictability that somehow always seem to make the studio louder and funnier whenever he's around.

Combining world-class attention to detail with warmth, humour, and a deep passion for black and grey tattooing, Gui has become a hugely respected artist and an irreplaceable part of The Church Tattoo.
