Hi I'm Dano and I've been lurking on this thread for about 4 months until I decided to join and contribute. I'm from Milwaukee, WI. I've lived here all my life. I have already been tattooed, but thanks to sites like this, I've had a flood of ideas and tattooers that I want to get work from. I have 3 tattoos including a fu dog covering my left side with 2 peonies. It was done by Rachelle at Serenity ink here in Milwaukee. Talented artist if your in the area. I also have a traditional style anatomical heart with a treble clef on my sternum (my first tattoo) and my Irish family crest on my arm both done by Julio Avila at solid state tattoo. He's one of my favorite artists, although when I got my first tattoo, I didn't know shit about American traditional or about tattoos so I'm just relieved it was done by a great artist. I'm hoping to travel all over the country to get tattooed. If I could ever get the chance, I would love to get a couple tattoos from Uncle Allan. If anyone has been tattooed by him in the past, I would love any information you might have. Does he come to the states at all for conventions?
