Thanks, Shannon, for posting Dan’s work and to all of you for the comments. They are greatly appreciated as always.
The tattoo is all done by machine.
And Becky is right — the tattoo is on fellow tattooist DC Wallin who works at Tattoo Culture in Brooklyn, where Dan is a regular guest artist. We’ll be back there in May after the NYC Convention.
Then the next convention is the Tattoo Jam in North Wales in August. We’re slowing down the travel this year.

does dot work take longer to do because of how meticulous it looks or is it quicker than a standard tattoo bbecause its just dots and no long strait lines?? very stunning piece.
