ABOUT
Dani is a multi-talented tattoo artist originally from Los Angeles who brings a lifelong passion for visual arts to the Utah tattoo community.

Growing up, art was always her main creative outlet. Not just drawing, but also painting, playing instruments, photography, and film. After high school, that drive landed her a job in the Hollywood entertainment industry, where she got to work alongside many of the stars she grew up watching on TV. When the 2020 pandemic brought production to a sudden halt, she took it as the perfect opportunity to pack her bags, move to Utah, and dive headfirst into a craft she was always drawn to: tattooing.

After completing a rigorous three-year apprenticeship and studying at art school for two semesters to expand her artistic foundation, she joined The Collective, where she has been thriving as a resident artist for the last two years.

A definitive mentorship with Janethestranger further unlocked her artistic voice, propelling her into the distinctive styles she loves most today. Drawing heavy inspiration from street art, music, classic painters like Da Vinci, and the incredible creators around her, she specializes in detailed black and grey realism, surrealism, urban, abstract, fine line and conceptual designs.

She works best when given a general direction and the creative freedom to design custom, unique tattoos tailored specifically to fit your body. Prioritizing medium-to-large-scale pieces, she focuses on building genuine connections with her clients while turning every session into a comfortable, collaborative and fun experience.

Looking ahead, she is always excited to keep learning, growing, and exploring new artistic frontiers.
