Art Born from
Healing & Intention
The Wild Lotus was created as a sanctuary for those who view tattoos as meaningful rites of passage - though everyone is welcome here. Whether you're after a deeply intentional piece or simply want a great tattoo in a relaxed space, we're here for you. Walk-ins are always welcome.
Specialising in black and grey realism, colour work, blackwork, geometry, fine line, and script - but open to all styles. Every session is approached with the same care and precision, no matter the design.
With a background in fine art and certification as a second degree Reiki practitioner, Mo brings together technical skill with intuitive practice. For those who want it, healing energy is woven into the session - for those who don't, you'll still get exceptional ink in a calm, welcoming space.

Client Experiences
What Our Clients Say
“After having a bad experience with a different artist I was feeling skeptical but Mo quickly put my worries at ease. Very grateful he was confident to take on a cover up piece for me, this session was truely healing and couldn’t have gone any better!!”
“Mo takes the time to listen to what I wanted and brought the idea to life even better than I imagined. The attention to detail is incredible… Mo is the go to guy in palmy and worth the travel.”
“My first piece was a coverup, which Mo executed flawlessly. The communication is top notch, and his talent as an artist is undeniable. I get a lot of compliments, particularly about the vibrancy of the colour work.”
“Not only is Mo friendly and welcoming, the entire environment he works in is wonderfully clean and filled with beautiful plants and trinkets… Very good at communicating and checking in throughout the entire session making sure I'm ok and if I need a break etc”
“Whether it's an already prepared design for him to ink or a bespoke piece he has created, each one is crisp, vibrant and heals beautifully. Also, in a profession rife with toxic masculinity, Mo is calm, kind and gentle. A safe space for woman ❤️”
“Was an epic experience for my first tattoo. Mo is a super cool guy who makes the experience extremely enjoyable. I can highly recommend wild lotus for anyone keen on an awesome time”
The Experience
A Sanctuary,
Not a Shop
From the moment you step through the door, you'll feel the shift. Warm lighting, sacred sounds, and the gentle scent of essential oils create a space where you can drop into your body and be fully present.
Your session isn't rushed. It's held. We honour the significance of what you're choosing to carry on your skin, and we create the conditions for that to feel as sacred as it is.
