Delphin Musquet has taken tattooing by the throat, becoming one of the most sought-after artists in Europe in just a few short years, elevating fine-line tattooing and energising the industry through his shop, brand, and growing community, SANS PATRIE/.

Musquet’s ascension is a story of perfect timings, but can’t be written off as just good luck, as he was never just in the right place at the right time. 

He made everything happen. Himself. 

From the moment Musquet gripped a tattoo machine, he began stenciling the steps needed to transform the pastime into a career, then doggedly pursued it, prioritising it above everything else. Relationships ended. Birthdays passed uncelebrated. 

And when opportunities arose, there he was. Ready to learn but not ready to start. Musquet had already laid the foundations for a legacy not yet realised, plying his trade in flats across east London and carefully erecting the scaffolding of what would later become SANS PATRIE/. Well before tattoo shops welcomed Musquet, he was making his name, carving out a clientele: blazing his own path.  

In the years since, Musquet has delivered a DIY masterclass in not just tattooing, but business, unlocking each new stage of his career - tattooist, model, influencer, business owner, mentor - with a precision that can’t be taught, only earned. Executing his vision by never losing focus; propelled by a wave of self-generated momentum that has established him as not only an artist but a cultural identity who moves products.
