my name is dana hicks. i am a self-taught, independent tattoo artist currently based in brookyln, Ny. a few years ago, i decided to see if my lifelong passion for drawing would translate to the medium of skin, and things have worked out pretty well so far.

similar to single needle, i utilize a tight-3 needle to achieve particularly honed line-work. this allows for even more variation in texture and hue, and an overall incredibly precise tattoo. dainty is the name of the game :)
