Patrick was born into a military family in New York, was thrown around the American countryside and England in his youth, and finally settled in Grand Rapids, Minnesota where he started his apprenticeship in 2010 at Primo Ink. His knack for color designs helped grow the clientele base, and after becoming co-owner, the shop won the Duluth News Tribune Best of The Best Tattoo Shop. As an individual he has won various convention awards. When he’s not stabbin’ people, he enjoys being outdoors, riding his motorcycle, playing Magic the Gathering, and creating things out of whatever medium he can get his hands on.

Cyn was born in Texas, but gleefully found herself going to highschool in England after her mom joined the military. She wandered between Germany and Japan for 15 years with various European pitstops along the way before making it back to Texas, but the hop-skip travel bug whisked her off to be with Patrick in Minnesota. When she’s not busy making headless chickens look pulled together, she sometimes enjoys running, thinks about the vastness of space, and generally keeps shit organized.

These two met in England and instantly became friends. One might even dare to call them highschool sweethearts. They lived vastly different lives oceans apart as they grew through their twenties, but their fondness for the other never faltered and they married (w00t!) in 2020. Together they enjoy bringing new life to things forgotten, discovering scenic wilderness, and really good campfires.
