Glen Paradis

I discovered tattooing 24 years ago after early work in animation and a short stint in comics—and I’ve been devoted to the craft ever since.

For the past 13 years, I’ve been the owner and artist behind Barnstormer Studio, a place where collaboration and craft come together. My work has taken me to China, South Africa, Europe, the United States, and across Canada, sharpening my ability to adapt to any style and connect with a wide range of clients.

While I’m comfortable working in any tattoo style, my roots are in illustration. When I’m creating freely, I often draw figures, monkeys, and robots—subjects that let me play with storytelling and form. Whether you’re walking in or planning a custom piece, my process is personal, fluid, and focused on creating the right tattoo for you.
