Thank you for the kind words :)

I got my mum to sign a statutory declaration saying it was ok because I was 16 and she knew I would do something dumb like get a home job tat (thank Christ I didn't).

I was lucky enough to know a very cool Tattooer who tolerated me hanging at the studio after school and was ok with doing it.

I got an old skool wall flash panther on my shoulder since my mum has a panther on hers, but she unfortunately didn't know about the brand slazenger and got their logo haha

I was apprenticing at Electric Hand Tattoo in Brisbane

Thanks man.

There's so many tattooists and shops these days, but I want to try to be around the ones maintaining traditions and raising the bar

My name is Pascal.

I started my apprenticeship a year ago at age 25 with a good friend and well respected tattoo artist, but due to unforeseen circumstances he was unable to continue my training.

For a fresh start and to show respect by not working in another shop nearby I recently moved to melbourne and enrolled in creative arts at university.

I am spending some time building my skills and a strong portfolio before I approach quality shops here to complete my training in ideally an old school and traditional apprenticeship like the one I started.

I really appreciate the last sparrow interviews for the insight into the journey many established artists have undertaken, and a perspective on how the industry has changed in the last few decades.

It's humbling, frightening, and inspiring, and I look forward to learning more.

Thank you
