High-Quality Geometric Tattoo Manchester

NERO PRENTA

HI, I'M NERO

I’m Nero Prenta — a tattoo artist based in Manchester, specialising in geometric, ornamental, and pattern-based tattoos.

My work is built around clarity, balance, and flow. Strong foundations. Clean lines. Designs that read instantly and stay powerful long after the tattoo has healed. Take a look below.

EXPLORE MY WORK

MY BACKGROUND

Tattooing has been part of my world for as long as I can remember.

One of the earliest moments that stayed with me was watching a Jackie Chan film as a kid and seeing full Yakuza body suits for the first time. The scale, the structure, the impact — it stuck. That feeling never really left.

Before tattooing, I grew up immersed in graffiti. I started painting at around ten years old, completely self-taught. Working on the streets taught me discipline, repetition, and how to build something that holds presence from a distance. It shaped the way I see form, rhythm, and negative space — things that still sit at the core of my tattoo work today.

Over time, that visual language naturally evolved into tattooing.

STUDIO & LOCATION

I’m currently based in Manchester, working from North of Winter Studio — a private, appointment-only studio focused on considered, custom tattoo work.

The space allows me to work calmly and with full attention on each project, without the rush or noise of a walk-in environment. It’s set up for longer sessions, detailed planning, and tattoos that need time to be done properly.

All work is by appointment only.

Met Alex about 8-9 years ago, started with a tiny little rocket tattoo (and I remember him saying that I’ll go back to get more soon, which I didn’t believe at the time 😂), and since then, I got a sleeve with him and many (many!) other tattoos. Best guy around, super talented and most of my tattoos with him were almost pain free- which is great when you have full day sessions.
I love the dotwork on my arm and my mandala, but also the neat lines on the writing I have under my knee and on my ribs.
Plus, a super cool matching colour tattoo with my best friend.
100% recommend

Had many hours work done by Alex. I choose Alex for his excellent line work. He is extremely easy to get on with and very helpful talking through ideas to get the best result. As a designer myself, it was important for me to have complete confidence in his work and I totally recommend.

I’ve been going to Alex for roughly 5 years - since i was virtually without any tattoo.
The service he provides - from start to finish is immaculate!
He’s genuinely passionate - not just about the art but caring for the client.
I’ve never had an artist that has made me feel so safe & cared for, he listens to my needs and never pushes me past my limits!
I look forward to many more years finishing our projects we have going on!

Alex is an incredibly talented and professional tattoo artist. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and the final tattoo exceeded my expectations. Clean studio, great vibe, and amazing work. Highly recommend.

Had a really great experience getting my rib tattoo. Alex was very professional and made me feel comfortable, even though ribs are quite painful he listened carefully to what I wanted and gave me some good suggestions too.
The tattoo turned out beautiful, with clean lines and perfect placement. The studio was very clean and had a nice vibe. I will definitely come back for another tattoo.
I highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for a talented and friendly tattoo artist

Amazing work from Nero Prenta! Got a full sleeve done and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Super clean lines, great detail, and a really chill vibe throughout the sessions. Highly recommend!

I wanted a cover up and a full sleeve doing.
I have followed Alex on socials for a while and knew he was the guy to deliver.
From the initial consultation to the final session he was punctual, kept me updated, worked at a pace that was comfortable for both of us.
The tattoo studio is clean, warm and welcoming.
I would definitely recommend Alex Prenta and look forward to work with him again (once I have spare money 🤣)

Thank you

I can’t recommend this artist enough. Alex was my first tattoo artist and is still the only one I trust. He’s incredibly talented, kind, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. From listening to ideas to giving honest advice, he always makes sure you feel comfortable and confident. His work is consistently beautiful, clean, and done with care!
