Singer Paloma Faith said
“I’ve known Mo for a while, actually, my friend worked as a receptionist at the Family Business, so I knew his work, knew how good he is. When I decided to get a tattoo I wanted only him to do it, even though he’s in such huge demand that there is a really long wait, because of the fact that it is forever, I wanted something that could age with me”
Other high profile projects included working on the first issue of Garage magazine, which featured a front cover tattoo by Mo Coppoletta that was designed by Damien Hirst. The inside editorial “Inked” went into further details about Mo’s collaborations with Hirst. The editorial also featured a freshly tattooed Dinos Chapman, supervised by Mo, tattooing his brother Jake at The Family Business.
