When Paul Fiddler was only eight years old, he etched his first tattoo. “I used a wall tack and some pen ink and made initials on my hand,” said the 26-year-old Cheyenne River Sioux. Little did the young Fiddler know that a little pain would be his gain, and he would one day be a professional tattoo artist and owner of the newly opened Phuzion Storm Tattoos in Rapid City, South Dakota, named after a son he lost three years ago. “It’s a way to keep his name going,” shared the father of three.
