Steven Patnaude, 42, of Westport, MA passed away June 22, 2019 at St. Anne’s hospital of cardiac arrest.

An enormously talented tattoo artist, he enjoyed a prolific career spanning 22 years. Steve worked with his friends at Darkstar Tattoo in Westport since it’s opening in 2005. The art he created forever gracing the bodies of countless friends and clients.

Always quick with a story and an undeniable ability to make those around him laugh; he was truly loved and will be missed by many.
