Glen Paradis is the owner and lead artist at Barnstormer Studio in Ottawa, Ontario. With 24 years of tattooing experience and an early background in animation and comics, he approaches every piece with an illustrator’s eye. His extensive travels to China, South Africa, Europe, the United States, and across Canada have honed his ability to adapt to a wide range of styles. While proficient in all tattoo styles, Glen’s illustrative roots are evident in his freehand creations, often featuring storytelling elements with figures, monkeys, and robots. He ensures both walk-ins and custom projects are handled with a personal, fluid process, focused on crafting the perfect tattoo for each client.
