Purposeful, considered, intentional. These seem to be good descriptors for Patrick Paul O'Neil. Patrick is tattooing beautiful, large scale illustrative designs that are carefully thought out and fit the client perfectly.
In today's episode, Patrick shares his tattoo experiences and how they helped to form his approach to his own work. He talks about the different experiences he’s had as both the tattooer and the client, and even talks about parts of his time as an apprentice. We really hope that you enjoy listening and reading as much as Jake enjoyed the interview.
This is the first part of a 2 part series so be sure to check back next week for part 2

Some things are so relatable even being on a complete different part of the globe

🔥 🔥🔥 Dropping gems , thank y’all for sharing , all the way from EL PASO TEXAS. I’m a young Chicano artist trying to be the best I can and videos like these help me on my path!

[@FiresideTattooNetwork]

I grew up with Pat in our small town during our elementary school years. We use to draw anime characters together and had got close as friends for a time then parted ways once high school came around. Even in those early year, you could tell Pat was on a different level and a completely genuine human being, extremely spirited. He was an amazing artist at such a young age and it brings me great joy to have seen his journey through social media within his schooling and through now through his tattooing career. I continued drawing myself and studying tattoo art and he once indicated to me I should pursue tattooing. At this time I’m currently doing an apprenticeship and his work encourages me to keep going and learning and to remain humble. This was a fantastic interview, very eye opening. I hope to meet him again to catch up sometime and pursue getting work done by him in the future. Thanks for being an inspiration, Pat. Your friend, -Derek

This one has been one of my favorites. A really genuine, interesting, empathetic, artist making art with clients. The never wanting to have clients feel like the middle man with the art is eye opening.

I know I'm a bit late to this party, but regarding lines, then shading, not going backwards - the "system" many of us are taught - do you have any thoughts regarding approaching working on scar tissue vs. uninjured skin? My suspicion is that scar tissue (in its various forms) might require a stricter approach..?

Fantastic interview. Really made me view my approach to no shows myself.
