Moe Saavedra

Moe Saavedra is a tattoo artist, born and raised in CDMX. Five years ago he opened his own studio, 

 specialising in American Traditional Tattoos. It’s worth booking a tattoo with Moe just to hang out at his studio, it’s full of weird and wonderful art and books collected from his trips and he always has the best playlist of 90’s Hip Hop and Stoner Rock on rotation. When he’s not behind the needle, Moe is usually spending time with his family, skateboarding, hitting up conventions or planning his next trip. His favourite hood is Centro Historico, “You can find anything here, it’s got something for everyone”.

My studio where you can find me tattooing most days.

This is an amazing mix of art & technology. It’s a fountain / water system / sculpture designed by Diego Riviera in the Chapultepec forest. There’s also a skatepark nearby here that I like to skate at.

This is a food market, famous for it’s mariscos (seafood). I always get the 'alambre de camaron’ and a corona.

This place is famous for it’s 80s high energy music vibe. It’s a must-experience for Mexico City there’s nothing else like it.

I find lots of cool weird stuff at this flea market. A lot of frames for art in my studio. Be warned this market is next to a trash station so I’ll shop there but I would never eat there haha. There are other good flea markets such as Lagunilla but now there’s a lot more tourists so the prices are higher. La Bufola is where you can find weird stuff super cheap.
