Pat Sinatra
Pat Sinatra, owner of the original Pat’s Tats [established in 1976 in New Jersey] relocated to Woodstock, NY in 1990. With her first street shop, located at 100 Mill Hill Road, and then a lateral move to 102 Mill Hill Road, she created thousands of one-of-a-kind tattoos for locals and tourists who would visit the artists’ hamlet. Over the years, she would also tattoo convention goers across the United States and in Europe.
In 2000, the studio relocated again to 948 State Route 28 (Onteora Trail) and enjoyed twelve successful years at that location. Finally, the studio moved again. In 2012, Pat’s Tats found a new home in the Kingston Historic Waterfront at 4 West Union Street. This would be the last of the commercial locations and thus ending nearly 25 years as a brick and mortar destination.
Tattooing hurts. It hurts the tattooer plying his/her trade with neck and back injuries, kidney ailments, joint pains, eye strain, bursitis…and the pain of always fighting the powers that be to remain open for business as a safe , sanitary and respected studio.
In 2015, Pat opened a private home studio where she continued to work until just shortly before the Covid-19 lockdown.
Facing the finality of retirement of a 45-year career and forced by a pandemic, Pat threw herself into her other love—painting!
In 1981, Pat spent the summer in Woodstock as a student at the Woodstock School of Art. She came to study landscape painting with Robert Angeloch. Bob was instrumental in her learning to "see." And he impressed upon the young student to simplify. It wasn’t just Bob Angeloch, but the entire faculty and the school itself (a carryover from the Art Students League) which set the high bar of achievement.
Currently, Pat is creating landscapes in a style all her own which she is still perfecting and elevating.
