About Patrick Sweeney

Born and raised in Southern California, Pat’s first artistic inspiration came from his mother. A traditional painter, her realistic and noteworthy oil and charcoal portraits inspired him to paint and sketch at a young age. It is no coincidence that Pat leans more towards realism and depth in his tattoos and other artwork. When he is not painting, tattooing, or spending time with his lovely wife and daughter, Pat enjoys the intensity and serenity of the Pacific Ocean through surfing and anything water related. Without a doubt, Pat’s number one priority is to excel, whether it be on canvas, on skin, or in his personal life - James Patrick Sweeney is in a constant progressive state.
