At Parkinson No Limits, we firmly believe in a holistic and comprehensive approach to facing the disease. Our motto says it clearly:
“Above all, YOU are a PERSON, not a patient! Engaging in activities in a natural environment full of life and stimuli fills you with happiness, and HAPPINESS is the best ANTI-PARKINSON!”
It is precisely by following this philosophy that we are proud to count among our valued collaborators Simone Righi, an extraordinary professional who has managed to transform the ancient art of tattooing into a true therapeutic path and a journey of inner reconnection.
Who is Simone Righi? Beyond the simple tattoo
Simone is not just an artist, but a Symbolist Tattoo Artist of the highest level, officially certified and authorized by the Health Departments of Spain, the Canary Islands, and Italy. His figure moves away from that of the commercial tattoo artist: Simone is a profound connoisseur and scholar of ancient civilizations.
His wisdom and the energy he transmits through his needles and inks are the result of an extraordinary experience:
- He has participated in more than 100 conventions around the world, from Europe to New Zealand.
- He has dedicated his life for more than twenty years to meticulous research into hidden anthropological data, studying traditions and deep meanings that often escape known history.
The body as canvas: The therapy of the symbol
Facing a condition such as Parkinson’s inevitably means dealing with a body that changes and the need to find a new balance. The experience of symbolic tattooing thus becomes a powerful therapeutic tool, an act of reclaiming one’s own body.
What makes Simone’s work so valuable for our members is the deep process of self-knowledge prior to the tattoo ritual that accompanies each of his sessions. It is not about “making a drawing,” but about using this moment to help people to:
- Deeply connect with themselves.
- Get closer to their most intimate essence.
- Capture on their skin a symbol of strength, resilience, and rebirth.
Ancient styles and freehand designs
Simone masters both the use of the modern machine and the fascinating Ancestral Technique (traditional hand-made tattooing). Each of his works is unique and unrepeatable, precisely because it is rigorously drawn freehand directly on the skin, following the lines and energy of the person.
Within his cultural and artistic background, Simone uses a vast visual alphabet that includes powerful and meaningful styles:
- Polynesian and Māori: Symbols of journey, courage, protection, and family bonds.
- Patu-Tiki (Marquesan): The ultimate warrior art, perfect for those who fight their own battles every day.
- Berber: Ancestral geometries that evoke a connection with the earth and nature.
- And countless other traditional styles adapted to the personal story of the individual.
An invitation to look inward
Having Simone Righi among the professionals collaborating with our association is a true privilege. His art does not merely decorate the skin, but invites one to look inward, to never give up, and to celebrate one’s own story through eternal symbols. A tattoo with Simone is a cathartic experience, a sacred moment dedicated to oneself to rediscover one’s identity beyond the disease.
An indelible mark of rebirth
On a path where each day demands extraordinary courage, having the opportunity to transform one’s own body into a meaningful work of art is an invaluable gift. Simone constantly reminds us that, despite the challenges and changes imposed by Parkinson’s, our skin can continue to tell stories of triumph, resilience, and profound beauty.
We invite all our members, and anyone who feels curious about embarking on this introspective journey, to discover more about the Ancestral Tattoo activity within our programs. Sometimes, the best way to reclaim oneself is to embody a symbol of strength that accompanies us every day, reminding us of who we truly are.
Because true healing always begins in the soul: our body may change due to the disease, but our spirit, also expressed through our skin, remains invincible.
