Patrick Desautels
I’m Patrick — the artist behind Pat X Tattoo.
I grew up in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac with tattooing already on my mind. At 16, I left home to make a place for myself in the craft. Every project since has pushed me further.

I’m Patrick.
What I love most are ambitious color projects that begin with a real conversation. I want to understand the person before drawing the piece, because a great tattoo starts long before the session.
I previously owned L’Atelier X Tattoo. Today, I work in Pointe-aux-Trembles under my artist brand, Pat X Tattoo.
My work with Empower Ink and breast-cancer survivors confirmed something I believe deeply: a tattoo can also help someone reclaim their story.
