Paul Peddie

Hello. After being taught how to tattoo from a two-year apprenticeship, I've been tattooing full time since 1998. Tattooing has allowed me to visit and/or live in various cities and countries over the years.

 

I enjoy tattooing in styles of new school, neo-Japanese, neo-traditional, illustrative, graphic and even a bit of realism. Travelling, painting and various forms of exercise are a few of the things that keep me busy on a daily basis.
