The co-founder of Gold Coast Tattoos and one of the leading tattoo artists in Australia, Paul began tattooing over 33 years ago now. His studios – Skin FX Tattoos, Crossfire Tattoos & Gold Coast Tattoos – have been up and running on the Gold Coast for over 19 years. Borderline Tattoos in Coolangatta was where it all started, moving to Kirra after a couple of years.
