I took Dan’s classes “Art and History of Tattoo” and “How to Get a Great Tattoo.” Fascinating classes! The time flew by. I have a couple of tattoos but am not a tattoo artist or even an artist, but enjoy following tattoo trends in Portland. Dan has extensively researched the history of tattooing around the world from the very beginning and puts a lot of thought into his presentations.

He did my first and third tattoo when I moved to Oregon and he’s getting ready to do my Husband’s next one. Dan’s just an all around super fella!

Dan is such an awesome artist. He really knows his stuff. I once fell asleep on his table while getting tattooed. So thrilled to see him teaching at PCC.

Wow! I’m so happy to see this article here; I got my tattoo finished just yesterday at Atlas (with Jerry). It is an amazing shop with great artists. I didn’t go to Dan, but he seemed awesome. The shop is clean and uberprofessional — and the artists are warm, supportive, and talented. It is no wonder this is known to be one of the best tattoo parlors in all of Portland. Thanks, Dan, for being a great part of the PCC community.

I think Dan did my first tattoo when I moved to Oregon. So happy to see that he is a fellow PCC instructor and that the history of the art form is getting some respect and interest!
