Pat is a great artist and an incredibly intelligent human being. Her experience in Celtic knot work is second to none. She takes her time in tattoo placement to make sure it’s just right for you and how you like it. Her detailed after care treatment is helpful for a beginner like myself. I traveled from Las Vegas for my first tattoo because I was certain it would be worth it. I’ve done 2 sessions so far with one more to go for my forearm sleeve. This will be a piece I will cherish for the rest of my days.
Pat is an excellent artist and takes the time to make sure you are happy with the design of your tattoo before getting started. She provides helpful input and her work remains vibrant years later.
A unique artist, with an eclectic and storied life! I have had three Celtic themed installations now, all a cover up of older tattoos, two requiring multiple visits. Each tattoo has been an excellent work of art, each unique and tailored to exactly what I wanted/had in mind with the priceless input from Pat as to what would or wouldn’t work, and fantastic color scheme options! Nearly 40 years of experience shows as she brings the magic to life! What really makes each and every visit part of the enriching experience is her gift of conversation and storytelling! Slainte Pat!!!
Pat tattooed my then wife at the Dunstable convention in 1995,she was and is a foremost authority on Celtic tattooing but is also excellent at all other forms of tattoo work.The tattoo is still bold and bright all these almost 30 years on,Thankyou Pat.
Greatest tattoo artist I’ve ever been to. Extremely friendly and personable- very knowledgeable. Affordable considering she is a master tattoo artist that specializes in custom Celtic art among other things. It seems to me the people writing poor reviews are not actual clientele and could have used their brain (that bump three feet from your keester) and had most of their questions answered by simply looking at the website. No she does not pierce it is a tattoo studio! Don’t write a salty review out of stupidity and spite show some respect Pat Fish is a legend.
