The Legendary Mark Mahoney Takes Centre Stage at The Mandrake Artist-in-Residence between September 20 – 30…
Known for its wildly mysterious bohemiam-gothic design, The Mandrake in London’s Fitzrovia district has announced that the high priest of Hollywood tattoo artists, Mark Mahoney, will be the artist-in-residence between September 20 – 30.
From September 20, Mahoney – whose roster boasts A-listers including David Beckham, Lady Gaga, Adele and Johnny Depp – will bring his Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlour to The Mandrake for ten days only, where he will live-ink his VIP guests. In-house guests at The Mandrake can skip the 18-month waiting list and request to be inked by the legend himself. In addition to the West Hollywood Shamrock Social Club inspired pop-up, The Mandrake will offer 15 lucky fans an opportunity to have an immersive private charity dinner with Mahoney.
During Mark’s residency, his main activities will include:
- Shamrock tattoo parlour pop-up, 20th – 30th September: Guests can see Mahoney in action from the hotel lobby and courtyard in a space inspired by his West Hollywood studio. In-house guests of The Mandrake will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be tattooed by Mark himself, jumping the epic 18-month-long waiting list. To be in with a chance of this, guests of The Mandrake should request a tattoo by emailing tattoo@themandrake.com.
- Wine and dine with the legend himself, Wednesday 26th September: The Mandrake is offering 15 lucky guests the rare opportunity to meet Mahoney at an exclusive charity dinner where the strong-browed, pompadoured Mahoney will share his celebrity tales of the last 40 years and possibly inspire guests to immortalise the night in ink on their next trip to Hollywood. Tickets will be priced at £500 with some of the proceeds going to a cancer charity. Contact tattoo@themandrake.com to be in with the chance of attending this five course dining experience, equipped with Mahoney-inspired cocktails and goodie bags.
Johnny Depp calls him brother. Lana Del Rey cast him as her muse. Beckham is head to toe in his work. Mark Mahoney is revered by fellow tattoo artists, and the younger generation look to him as an inspiration and mentor in the craft of tattooing. His work has revolutionised tattoo inking globally and The Mandrake will once again welcome the legend as part of the hotel’s Artist-in-Residence series for September.
