Raised in a small town in Colorado, Daniel’s pursuits as an artist have taken them to the cities of LA, Seattle, and now NYC. Receiving a degree in Fine Art along the way, as well as apprenticing under some talented artists, Daniel is also a painter, sculptor, and illustrator with a spectrum of interests and influences. Though they enjoy working in many tattoo styles, Daniel’s primary work in tattooing is inspired by vintage tattoo art, folk art, mysticism, and surrealism. Daniel also spends time exploring and studying tribal patterns, ancient tattoos, and ornamental folk art.

➕➕➕ new work ➕➕➕
.
for the past few years, i have been studying tribal and primitive motifs, patterns, and symbols.
.
this has led me to developing my own series/language of symbolic sigils and motifs.
.
these pieces can be done as is, expanded upon, or repeated to cover greater areas. they can also be done at different sizes/line weights. machined or handpoked.
.
much more to come, as i am looking to direct a lot of my focus into this type of work. but illustrative pieces will always be welcome.
.
if you are interested in developing a meaningful piece, schedule a consultation with me and i can share more concerning the sources of these patterns and how we can construct a piece with specific meaning.
