Victor Pastier
Tattoo Artist & Painter
Nantes, France // On the road
My work is rooted in traditional tattooing, drawing inspiration from classic references, folk art, and the imagery I’ve collected over the years. I aim to create tattoos that are simple, bold, and built to last—designed to age well and sit naturally on the body.
Alongside tattooing, I also develop a painting practice influenced by folk and popular art. Through it, I explore a simple, romantic visual language shaped by my travels, the places I’ve passed through, History and the people I’ve met along the way.
Born in Nantes, France, in 1995, I began my tattoo journey in 2015 at Turbo Zéro, where I completed my apprenticeship before spending the next five years tattooing alongside the team. Those years laid the foundation for my craft and sparked a lasting passion for traditional tattooing.
In 2020, I co-founded Gizah Studio with my friend Maclow, with the ambition of creating an independent studio and a more personal, artist-driven approach to tattooing. Today, I split my time between the studio, international tattoo conventions, and guest spots throughout Europe and abroad. Travel remains a constant source of inspiration, shaping both my perspective and my work.
