Giannis Piperakis was born in Athens, Greece.

In 2000, he traveled to Budapest, to study the art of tattooing. At first this was just a hobby, but then it became his main profession.

His original studies are on graphic arts and photography, providing him with a very good basis and the aesthetics to really grow as a tattoo artist. In 2012, Giannis decided to start his own tattoo shop and this is when DrPepper Tattoo and Art Hub was born. Giannis mostly focuses on black and gray realism types of tattoos.

If you don’t find him at the studio, or abroad in one of the major tattoo competitions winning trophies and titles, he will be strolling around Athens with his dog.
