What he does
The Family Business isn’t just a tattoo shop. It’s an inking empire, and Coppoletta is Emperor. The place is vast – with enough space for 11 artists following renovations. His own style is varied: ‘The two main sources are Western iconography and Oriental imagery, but I find inspiration from things outside the world of tattooing, otherwise you stagnate.’
His work graces the bodies of such celebs as wobbly-voiced chanteuse Paloma Faith and art world bad-boys the Chapman brothers, and has attracted the attention of luxury retailers such as Liberty. He’s currently taking a break to come up with 20 new designs: ‘After 16 years of tattooing, I felt like I couldn’t create in a new way, so I’m going back to drawing.'
