Olly’s tattoos range from a smoking woman and a wolf to short phrases and smaller personal references. The singer, whose name is Federico Olivieri, has a dense cluster on his right arm, with other designs reaching across his shoulder and chest. His exact tattoo count isn’t clear, and he hasn’t explained every piece.

Profiles and photographs help identify the designs, though pose and clothing can hide or distort their placement. The descriptions below stick to what Olly or the reporting has connected to each tattoo, and leave the rest open.

Olly’s Smoking Woman Tattoo

One of the early designs on Olly’s right arm is a neo-traditional woman smoking. The illustrated face, hair and cigarette make it a compact portrait among the lettering and smaller marks around it.

Chi connects the cigarette to the smoking imagery in Olly’s songs, including Balorda nostalgia. Above the woman are the words È festa, which the profile describes as one of his mottos. The phrase and portrait sit near each other, but remain separate designs: one is lettering, the other a shaded figure.

Olly’s Wolf and Gira Tattoo

A wolf and the word Gira appear among the right-arm tattoos. The wolf is discussed alongside Olly’s 2022 song Canto alla luna. Its lyric presents the animal as more than a simple sign of danger, including its protective bond with the pack.

The nearby Gira is linked in the profile to a word Olly favors and to the album title Il mondo gira. The two designs share space on the arm, though the animal and lettering remain distinct. Photos don’t always show their exact boundaries clearly.

Olly’s Hanged Man Tattoo

Olly has described this forearm design as having two readings. Depending on how he turns his arm, it can look like the tarot figure known as the hanged man or like a person lying on a lawn. The angle changes what stands out in a photograph.

The profile records that visual double reading, but doesn’t give a single personal meaning for the tattoo. Its placement and shifting orientation are enough to explain why it can look different from one image to another.

Olly’s Anchor and Cupid Tattoo

The anchor on Olly’s forearm has a familiar nautical outline. The profile suggests a connection to Genoa’s maritime identity and mentions a possible Popeye reference, but those are contextual readings rather than a confirmed explanation from Olly.

A Cupid sits on his right shoulder, with an arrow that continues across the chest toward the heart. The figure and arrow form one connected design across two placements. Photos that crop the shoulder or chest can make the arrow look detached, so a wider view gives a clearer sense of the composition.

Olly’s Mystic Eye and Dalmatian Tattoos

A mystic eye is documented on Olly’s back near the shoulder, but the profile doesn’t give its personal meaning. The visible subject and placement are clear; anything beyond that would be guesswork.

Under his arm is a Dalmatian that Olly has tied to Disney’s One Hundred and One Dalmatians and his graduation result of 101. The small dog is a playful reference with a specific story behind it. A snail is also described as a later filler tattoo on the arm, though no particular reason for choosing it is given.

Photography and perspective

The photographs show different parts of Olly’s collection. A seated interview image reveals a small wrist mark, while fashion portraits show more of the right arm. Side views can help locate the shoulder, chest and under-arm designs that disappear in a straight-on shot. The Icon images range from formal tailoring to relaxed clothes; a Radio Italia gallery provides another interview view.

Posture changes how the tattoos read. The forearm bends and turns, and the hanged-man image shifts with it. Clothing can cover the Dalmatian or the eye on his back, while a cropped frame can interrupt the Cupid’s arrow. Comparing views helps establish placement without treating every angle as a separate design.

Light, clothing and the visible details

Lighting can make fine lines look heavier or hide an edge in shadow. Black-and-white portraits also change the apparent contrast. Those limits matter most when trying to identify a small mark or trace where one tattoo ends and another begins; for the larger pieces, the photos still show how the arm and upper-body designs sit together.

What Olly has explained about the collection

The published accounts connect the smoking woman to recurring cigarette imagery in Olly’s music, and describe È festa as a motto. The wolf is discussed alongside Canto alla luna; Gira connects to a favored word and album title. Olly’s own explanation of the hanged man centers on its two visual readings, while he has linked the Dalmatian to his 101 graduation result.

Other meanings remain unconfirmed. The source profile doesn’t explain the mystic eye or give a reason for the snail. Olly also said in a 2025 Radio Italia interview that he had considered getting another tattoo in Genoa from his trusted tattooist. That was a possibility he mentioned, not a completed design to add to the collection.

The known collection in brief

The sources don’t establish a final count. They document a smoking woman, phrases, a wolf, the hanged man, an anchor, Cupid and an arrow, a mystic eye, a Dalmatian and a snail. Some have stated links to songs, an album, Genoa or a personal milestone; others are described only by their appearance.

Olly’s tattoos have accumulated across different parts of his body and different moments in his life. The clearest account is to name what can be seen, keep reported explanations attached to the right design, and leave unknown meanings unresolved.
