|
|
Started tattooing in '94 at
Absolute Tattooing in Menomonee Falls, WI. then in 2003, Dan
worked at sAcred sKin Tattoo and Lounge in West Allis, WI.
As of now Dan works by appointment only at various shops and
conventions around the U.S. Send him an E-mail to set up an
appointment.
Mostly doing larger, multi-sitting projects. Dan's style is
a big combination of his influences with a bit of himself
in there too. Influences such as Guy Aitchison, Robert Hernendez,
Aaron Cain, Paul Booth, Nick Baxter, Jon Clue, and many new
artists coming around constantly. Dan highly encourages people
to carefully choose their artist according to there own personal
style or combination of styles. There are many very talented
tattooists in any style you can imagine, and then some. A
little research can easily get you a custom tattoo that you
will be more than proud to wear forever.

Through the years Dan's work has been published in many magazines
and web sites all over the world as well as winning countless awards
at tattoo conventions for his projects. Not much for working conventions
but you can occasionally find him there walking around enjoying the
atmosphere.
In 2002, Dan decided to give airbrushing a try. Always liked it but
never thought he would have the patience for it. He had the patience
and then some. Small canvas paintings soon evolved into an interest
in automotive painting. Started with some helmets and eventually he
was doing full bikes, cars, trucks, whatever. Dan's airbrushing is
just like his tattooing, style wise and he encourages customers for
his airbrushing to choose their airbrush artist the same as a tattoo
artist. In other words, don't ask him for some wizard with a castle
or an eagle on your bike, car, or skin.
Dan is also known to support
the area music scene. Many of the areas top bands are wearing
some of Dan's work as well as on their CDs, T shirts, and
flyers.
Alot of them became good friends/customers/coworkers
of his, during that time.
Dan likes to be a professional
but hates when that crosses over into boring monotony
He's an outgoing, joking,
goof, at times to lighten the mood or break the silence. You
can hear some great stories and have a real experience getting
tattooed by him.
