Meet Patrick - Illustrative Realism • Storytelling

Patrick was born and raised in San Antonio before spending the last 12 years tattooing in Orange County, California. After years of learning from some of the industry's best artists, traveling for seminars, and continually refining his craft, he recently made his way back home to Texas to join the team at Prestige.

Patrick specializes in black and gray illustrative realism with a focus on portraits, animals, Asian inspired artwork, and faith-based designs. More than anything, he loves tattoos that tell a story. During consultations, he takes the time to understand what your tattoo means to you before putting pencil to paper. Those conversations become the foundation for artwork that's personal, intentional, and completely custom.

Life has given Patrick a unique perspective that's shaped both the person and artist he is today. His faith, recovery, surviving cancer, and the people he's loved and lost have all influenced the way he approaches tattooing. He understands that some tattoos simply look cool, while others carry a lifetime of meaning, and he treats both with the respect they deserve.

Outside the shop, Patrick is always learning. Whether he's studying new techniques, drawing, or finding inspiration through travel and education, he's constantly looking for ways to become a better artist.

If you're looking for an artist who values collaboration, storytelling, and creating meaningful custom work, Patrick would love to hear your idea.
