Ink and Alchemy: The Tattoo as a Hermetic Ritual
At Randagio Tribe Tattoo, tattooing is not a service. It is a rite. A deep inner journey that reflects the core teachings of Hermeticism: transformation, intention, and sacred connection between the visible and the invisible. What Is Hermeticism? Hermeticism is an ancient spiritual and philosophical tradition rooted in the writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. Its principles center around universal laws, including the famous adage: “As above, so below. As within, so without.” These teachings emphasize the interconnectedness of all things, the power of mental focus, and the process of inner alchemy – turning base emotions and ignorance into spiritual gold. The Tattoo as a Ritual of Transformation In Simone’s approach, each tattoo session follows a Hermetic principle: Nothing is created by chance. Each symbol, each placement, each line drawn is the result of deep energetic observation. Before touching ink, Simone observes. He connects with the person. He listens without words. Through this silence, a design begins to form — not from imagination, but from presence. Drawing directly on the skin, he creates a portal: a living sigil that reflects the transformation the person is ready to undergo. The pain of the needle is not punishment, but passage. Symbols as Keys Hermetic wisdom teaches that the universe is symbolic. Everything that appears outside of us reflects something within. Simone’s tattoos become literal keys, unlocking stagnant energy, opening inner doors. Spirals guide inward journeys. Triangles activate alignment. Lines cut through illusions. Dots awaken dormant sparks. These symbols do not speak to the rational mind. They speak to the soul. Why Free-Hand? Stencils are templates. Hermeticism teaches that no two souls are the same, and therefore no sacred tattoo can ever be repeated. Simone draws directly onto the body, creating a personal ritual unique to the client’s energy, time, and inner state. Final Insight A tattoo done in Hermetic tradition is not just body art. It is alchemical initiation. A spiritual act that marks a decision: to awaken, to transform, to remember. This is what happens at Randagio Tribe Tattoo. Not just ink. Not just lines. A ritual of return to your inner fire. Randagio Tribe Tattoo – Puerto del Carmen, LanzaroteAppointments only – +34 682 521 039Instagram: @randagiotribetattoo
The Sacred Tattoo Ritual: Awakening Through Ancestral Ink
At Randagio Tribe Tattoo, tattoos are not a trend – they are transformation. Simone Righi, known as Randagio, has dedicated his life to the spiritual dimension of tattooing, practicing a unique ritual that bridges ancient wisdom and modern energy. A Life Devoted to the Ritual Since 1995, Simone has traveled extensively between Europe and New Zealand, attending over 100 tattoo conventions. His purpose? To study traditional and modern techniques, but more importantly, to uncover the sacred essence of ancestral tattooing. What he discovered was not just about aesthetics or art, but about initiation. In ancient cultures, tattoos were sacred. They marked transformation, status, healing, and personal power. Today, Simone honors that legacy through the Ancestral Tattoo Ritual. The Free-Hand Ritual Experience Every tattoo at Randagio Tribe Tattoo is done completely free-hand. There are no stencils. No repetitions. Before the session, Simone sits with the person, reading their energy, discussing symbols, and allowing their story to shape the design. Each symbol drawn is intentional and deeply rooted in spiritual language. The tattoos are designed to transmute weaknesses into strength, often activating inner transformation, emotional healing, and reconnection to one’s self. The ritual also draws on Hermetic and ancestral liturgies, forming a tattoo experience that is meditative, sacred, and energetically aligned. Ancient Styles, Modern Power Simone blends stylistic elements from Polynesian, Maori, Berber, Celtic, Viking, and Oceanic traditions. These are not copied designs but inspired forms that emerge in harmony with each individual’s energy. Each body becomes a map. Each tattoo a unique, symbolic language that speaks to the soul. A Private Space in Lanzarote Sessions are available by appointment only, in a private studio located in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote. This intimate and focused setting allows the ritual to unfold in safety, silence, and presence. Simone has become a point of reference for those seeking more than ink. For those who feel the call.
