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.

Today, I’m based in Pointe-aux-Trembles. What I love about this work is understanding what you want to carry and turning that idea into something deeply personal.

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.
