So jealous, FX! I can't wait for Mo to ink me!
I have had scheduling issues during his last visits, but one of these days will add to my "collection" with an original Mo work. 
As a self-proclaimed aficionado of the art form, I think Mo is one of the great tattoo designers working today (and I'm not saying this because he's a fellow Purist). There is so much more to tattooing than what is glamorized on TV -- it's not all rockers and starlets. Tattooing is an integral part of many cultures, and various forms of tattooing can be found in every corner of the globe. There are many ethno-cultural ties to specific designs and forms which are deeply embedded in the traditions of the peoples and places from which these works originate. It's a fascinating topic of study for open-minded people with interest in art history, design, and anthropology.
Thanks for the pictures, FX! Continued success to Mo and his associates!
Cheers,
Daos
A visit at the Tattooing temple: Mo's shop
It may not be appointed by the Queen but without any doubt, the Family Business Tattoo shop of our friend Mo Coppoletta is a place to visit ! Located in the eastern part of London, not very far from St Pancras station, the shop has an unique and warm atmo...
Fantastic designs
A cut well above the usual offerings. Love the almost Victorian look of some of them. Not going to tat myself anytime soon, but if I did, it would have to be work of this caliber
Thank you FX,such nice words and...
pics ,,it was such a pleasure to have you in London,thank you so much for coming in and the report. It was a busy day on Sat but at least you had an idea of a Tattoo Parlour life....and you did so well to convey it to the rest of the community. Thank you ...
Fantastic, Mo.
Your shop is just such a cut above what we have locally...it's astounding. My first tattoo was back in 1992. Back then the old school style that seems to be so popular now was a tiny niche...and full sleeves were something else... feel old now.... And tha...

That is the most professional tattoo parlour
I have ever seen. I have been to five different tattoo establishments all in the states for my pieces, and although the equipment was clean and sterile, and all licenses were current, all had a rather seedy appearance. For one who is getting a first tatto...

Spelling
I hope someone corrected the spelling of la debutant (sic) before committing it to irreversible ink nick
not a tattoo parlour, but an artists studio
i have the book which is fascinating. its good to support fellow purists, especially those who are such good company when the alcohol starts to flow (and when there's no alcohol of course ). i'm so tempted to get a tattoo done by the master, a dragon to m...
Thanks foversta
i loved the post as im honored to know more about fellow purists on here , MO you are not only a man with quality taste for watches... but also an artist with sparkling touch . now i have a new idea where i should do my first tattoo someday . Faisal
That shop looks absolutely amazing.
I don't have any tattoos but if I was going to this is where I would go for sure. Marc
And since this original post MOC has tattooed some watches.
For those with less commitment ! ...
That's indeed a rate LE
As the Ando first generation is essential and relaxing, as the Tattoo is vibrant and energetic.
Yes; I think this first Tattoo and the first Ando are the best iterations thus far.
While I don’t wear the tattoo often, I was very smitten by the OF when first released and aspired to own one. It took a few years to finally find the “right” one, but immediately when I saw the details of the Tattoo in 2021 (I think) I knew I had to try a...
For someone who
has many tattoos this is very cool to see. Thanks for sharing the story and the pictures. I thought I was done getting tats, maybe one more in this shop.
Will try to visit his shop next time I’m in London.
Always been fascinated by that art form 👌🏻
