PAUL
GARDINER
Paul has been working as a Vancouver tattoo artist since 2004 and has experience with a wide range of
different tattoo styles. Originally hailing from the Kootenays, Paul’s love of visual art developed from a
mix of surrealist work, painting, and life drawing. Eventually, his work transformed into tattooing after
he was introduced to it a few years after moving to Vancouver. Today, as the owner of Black Rider
Tattoo, Paul spends his time working with his fellow artists to create some of the best tattoo designs
Vancouver has to offer.
