paul sutton - yafinsati tattoo and rising wolf healthy masculinity non-profit

I’d like to introduce Paul Sutton of Yafinsati Tattoo Parlour and Rising Wolf non-profit. Not only has Paul been my 1st Assistant on almost all of the H ot C shoots, today is his birthday!

Happy Birthday Paul!

Paul is a full-time tattoo artist, and a men’s-work/healthy masculinity facilitator. His shop was forced to temporarily close, and his men’s group sessions had to be postponed because of Covid-19. So in the meantime, Paul has been filling his days with getting to spend more time with his family, working on personal art pieces and tattoo designs, enjoying the outdoors in as many ways as possible, and helping make all of these shoots run smoothly. Paul’s tattoo shop has officially re-opened, and he is taking every precaution to adhere to the Health Canada guidelines for the current situation. Fortunately, it isn’t a whole lot different than how clean and safely he normally operates, outside of everybody having to mask up to come to the shop. Paul has also put the wheels in motion to start scheduling mens-work sessions again with his brother Chris, which you can find through @risingwolf444 or Rising Wolf on facebook.

Paul is an absolute gem of a human being, and he has been an integral part of this project. If you’re in to tattoos, men’s mental health, positivity, the kootenay lifestyle, or just good people in general, check out his social media and give him a follow (and wish him a happy birthday!). Happy Birthday Paul, much love! @yafinsati_tattoo @paulywood716 @risingwolf444
