Paul is a Brisbane tattoo artist with a passion for realism and accurately recreating detailed artwork on the skin. He offers clients a personal, light-hearted experience while remaining focused on precision, quality and delivering a tattoo they can be proud of.

Paul’s love of art and drawing naturally led him towards tattooing, providing a creative outlet where he could transform detailed artwork into permanent pieces. He is particularly drawn to realism and enjoys the challenge of recreating an image as accurately as possible, carefully considering its details, proportions and overall composition.

One of Paul’s most memorable tattoos is a Spartan design he created for his best friend. The personal connection behind the piece made the experience especially meaningful and reflects the care he brings to tattoos that carry an important story or significance for the client.

Outside of tattooing, Paul values spending time with his daughter and watching her grow into a wonderful little person. This balance between his creative work and family life helps shape his relaxed, genuine and approachable personality in the studio.

Clients visiting Paul at CB Ink Tattoo can expect a personal and light-hearted experience backed by a strong commitment to quality. He strives to provide every client with the best possible result, ensuring they feel comfortable throughout the process and leave confident they chose CB Ink Tattoo for the right reasons.

My love for art, drawing, etc. Having a Monday-to-Friday job, I enjoy the creative outlet tattooing gives me on weekends.

Tough one, but I’d say a Spartan tattoo I did on my best friend.

I have always enjoyed realism. I derive a lot of satisfaction from recreating a piece as accurately as possible.

Spending time with my daughter and watching her grow into a wonderful little human.

A personal, light-hearted experience, where artists like myself strive to give the client the best possible job, ensuring they walk away knowing they came to CB Ink for the right reason.
