Meet Tommy & Aloha Tattoo Studio
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
I’m Tommy, Thomas Pałaniuk
Owner of Aloha Tattoo Studio and an international award-winning artist. From the high-pressure kitchens where I served as a Head Chef in top-tier restaurants to the graffiti-covered walls of Poland, my life has always been about mastery. Based in Gloucester, I run my own space where I combine years of leadership and creative discipline with professional tattoo artistry.
Recognition
I’m a multi-award-winning artist, recognised at conventions both in the UK and abroad, and proudly sponsored by two major industry brands: Rusti Tattoo Needles and Ink Doctor Tattoo Care.
My style
I love breaking rules. Whether it’s a burst of vibrant colours in a cartoon or watercolour style, a solid black & grey piece, fine line, bold colour, realism or cover-ups, I execute every design with the precision of a chef and the focus of an artist.
Passion & lifestyle
I’m a connoisseur of simple pleasures and a true lover of food, always exploring new cultures through travel. My life is built on discipline, culture and tradition, values honed through years of training Muay Thai. I remain a head chef at heart, enjoying the rhythm of hip-hop and the refined taste of good rum and cigars.
Connections
As an introvert, I value deep connections and unconditional loyalty. I strictly value my family’s privacy, so I let my art and professional journey take centre stage.
Life isn’t perfect, but your tattoo can be!
