Chris Strik

Co-Owner of Paragon Tattoo • 18+ Years of Experience

Chris is the co-owner of Paragon Tattoo and has been tattooing for over 18 years. He enjoys creating custom tattoos with a focus on bold, timeless artwork and works closely with every client to develop unique designs that suit them perfectly.Chris has been tattooing for over 18 years, with a career that's taken him around the world working guest spots throughout Australia, Europe, the UK, Canada and the US.

His work is heavily influenced by neo-traditional, illustrative and Japanese tattooing, with a love for bold imagery, strong composition and tattoos that are designed to work naturally with the body. Some of his favourite subjects include animals, fantasy-inspired imagery, portraits and Japanese themes.

While Chris is happy working on tattoos of all sizes, he's particularly passionate about larger projects where there's room to really develop an idea. Sleeves, back pieces, front pieces and other large-scale work are the projects he'd love to spend more time creating.

Outside the studio, Chris enjoys travelling, keeping fit, target shooting and the occasional weekend smoking meat. Most importantly, he's a husband and dad and loves spending time with his wife, little girl and their two dogs.

After nearly two decades of tattooing, Chris still genuinely enjoys working with people to take an idea and turn it into something unique that they'll be proud to wear for years to come.
