Mario Desa April 2013

Mario has been visiting Frith Street Tattoo since 2011.
I took the opportunity to interview him during the week he was in London recently.
It’s always a pleasure having Mario around. While checking out someones Instagram feed or online portfolio can let you decide if you want to get tattooed by them, you can’t get a sense of their personality. Mario always manages to be friendly and sarcastic but is always easy-going and a pleasure to be around.
In this clip we catch a glimpse of the nature of his friendship with Jordan. He talks about the type of tattoos he gets asked to do in different shops and conventions, about Frith Street Tattoo’s place in the wider world of tattooing and I asked him about the negative aspects of FST.
