Dan is a Gold Coast born tattoo artist who began his tattooing career in 2010. Over more than a decade in the industry, he has developed a strong, adaptable approach to tattooing that reflects both his technical experience and his genuine interest in creating meaningful work for clients. Dan believes tattooing is not about committing to a single style, but about understanding each client’s idea and shaping it into something unique and personal to them.

While versatile across many styles, Dan’s work is heavily influenced by Japanese tattoo art and American Traditional, two forms that continue to inspire his artistic direction. His travels to both Japan and the United States have played a significant role in shaping his style, allowing him to study the foundations of these traditions and bring that depth of knowledge into his own practice.

Throughout his career, Dan has worked alongside a wide range of talented artists, gaining insight, refining his technique, and expanding his understanding of how tattoos can complement the body. He takes pride in creating custom pieces that suit each client, whether the design is small, large, simple or intricate, ensuring the final tattoo feels intentional, balanced and true to the wearer.
