Meet DEVON
Born in 1994 in West London, Devon Coppin began his artistic journey with nothing but passion and a £50 tattoo kit. What started in 2013 as a leap of faith quickly grew into a ten-year pursuit of mastery. Today, Devon is recognized for his bold work in Black and Grey realism, combining creative freedom with technical skill to produce custom pieces that tell powerful stories. Known for his striking portraits and strong sense of visual identity, he has earned a respected place in the tattoo world.
As a self-taught artist, Devon brings an innovative and intentional approach to every design. His signature process blends three to six images into one cohesive piece, creating work that is deeply personal and visually complex. His technique is especially celebrated for its effectiveness on darker skin tones. Now based in Ontario, Canada, Devon travels regularly across the United States and the Caribbean. With every session, he leaves a lasting impression, building strong relationships with clients and welcoming new ones into his growing community.
MISSION
Devon’s mission is to create meaningful, high-quality tattoos that reflect each client’s story with precision and depth. He is committed to pushing the boundaries of Black and Grey realism while making every client feel seen, valued, and understood. Through intentional design, a collaborative process, and a dedication to excellence, Devon aims to deliver not just ink, but lasting impact. His work is rooted in authenticity, cultural respect, and a drive to elevate the tattoo experience for people of all backgrounds, especially those whose skin tones have historically been overlooked in the industry.
STUDIO
Devon works out of Zen Tattoo Studio in Oakville, Ontario, where clients can expect a calm, professional environment that prioritizes quality and comfort. He also maintains a home base in the UK at Prolific Tattoo Studios in West London, continuing to serve his roots with the same dedication to excellence. Whether in Canada or the UK, Devon creates spaces that are welcoming, clean, and fully focused on delivering the best possible tattoo experience.
