Patrick

Patrick began tattooing back in Quebec in 2017, and from the very start he fell in love with the creative process of taking an idea from thought to flesh. A self-proclaimed art history nerd, he has since returned from Montreal to bring his unique style of folk tattooing with him.

Classically trained in Illustration & Design, Patrick combines technical skill with an imaginative approach to his artwork. While he often leans toward bold, colorful tattooing, he’s just as comfortable working on small, black-work ideas. His designs carry a symbolic weight and a timeless, esoteric quality—tattoos that feel both grounded in tradition and alive in the present.

Patrick draws inspiration from unexpected places: medieval manuscripts, thunderstorms, prison tattoos, grandma’s antiques, or even the raw energy of a punk show. These influences give his work an enduring character—imagery that looked cool 100 years ago and will still resonate 100 years from now.

As tattoo legend Dan Higgs once put it:
“Traditional tattooing doesn’t mean staying stuck in the past. It means nurturing something that came way before you because you deeply hope it will continue after you. It’s about being in the middle, not being at the end.”
