About Pauly

Pauly Lingerfelt, a New Orleans tattoo artist, carves out a style that hits like a fever dream—rooted in indigenous heritage and the raw soul of the Crescent City. A NOLA native, Pauly opened his shop Holy Ghost, in the heart of downtown. With a cult like following, Pauly travels and tattoos worldwide.

When Pauly isn’t in his shop, you can find him driving around the city collecting objects and art, finding inspiration for his multimedia art, or researching historical motifs.

His artistry flows seamlessly into the world of tile, where saints and sinners coexist and where art merges with design. Blending historical, cultural, and sacred influences, Pauly creates a style that is unmistakably his own.
