Sleeves & Style | Celebrating 15-years of Smooth Sailing

Tattoo artist and long-time friend @paulsmoothsailingtattoo is rocking a full outfit from our latest SS25 collection today. From head to toe in pieces that speak to both craftsmanship and character.

Paul is the founder of Smooth Sailing Tattoo, a respected name in the local tattoo community, known for his dedication to Japanese traditional tattooing. An expressive and symbolic style that blends precision, storytelling, culture and folklore. Think bold linework, mythological creatures, and flowing compositions that wrap around the body like living art. His work is a testament to patience, skill, and staying true to an artistic vision. These are values we deeply connect with in our own store philosophy.

Self-expression and creativity unites us, even though we operate in different creative spaces. Paul’s ability to turn skin into canvas mirrors our approach to building a wardrobe with intention and meaning.

This Friday, Smooth Sailing is celebrating its 15-year anniversary, a huge milestone for any independent studio. To mark the occasion, Paul is hosting a special flash day featuring one-of-a-kind designs at a fixed price. If you’re in town, make sure to stop by the shop and say hi from us.
