Tattoo artist specialized in color surrealism · Montreal
I turn your idea into a tattoo that feels like you.
You do not need a perfect concept before writing. Tell me what inspires you; I will build the piece with you.

I take the time to understand your story, then draw a piece that belongs only to you.
- I listen to you before I start drawing
- I compose every piece for your body, not just to fill space

Patrick Desautels · Pointe-aux-Trembles
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.
My work with Empower Ink and breast-cancer survivors confirmed something I believe deeply: a tattoo can also help someone reclaim their story.
