The work

Real pieces from the studio, fresh and healed. Tap any photo to see it full size.

Healed vs fresh

Looks this good once it's healed

Any tattoo looks good on the day. What matters is how it looks a year later. Paul's pieces are built with strong contrast and solid black and grey shading, so they stay sharp once they settle.

This leg sleeve shows both: the bottom half is fully healed and the top half was just finished.
