I’m Paul Getti Gordo, an Ivatan tattoo artist originally from Batanes, Philippines, now based in Los Angeles, California. For over 12 years, tattooing has been something I’ve done quietly, seriously, and passionately on the side. Now, I’m ready to commit to the craft fully.

My art leans toward monsters, strange beings, haunting creatures, and stuff that feels painfully beautiful. I’m drawn to designs that sit somewhere between dark and honest. I love creating custom tattoos that feel personal, emotional, and sometimes unsettling in the best way.

I’ve practiced and tattooed in:

• Batanes
• Siargao
• Manila
• Los Angeles (📍CURRENTLY HERE)

Being from an island shaped the way I see things. There’s something raw and grounded about it. That feeling carries into my work.

When I’m not sketching or working on tattoo designs, you’ll probably find me spearfishing, snowboarding, or watching films.
