Daan Vreugdenhil makes people happy with a tattoo

At the age of 17, I entered the tattoo world. I was an apprentice for four years, and it took 2.5 years before I was allowed to hold the machine for the first time. The old school way! That’s what I love about this profession. The art itself, but also the fact that I get to practice this profession every day. I’m still in love with it as much as when I started. Making people happy with a tattoo, how beautiful is that? I know how much power you can get from a tattoo. I was 16 when I got my first tattoo as a reminder of my best friend who passed away. That’s when I realized what it does to you when you get a tattoo. The whole moment of getting it done, the thought behind it, and why you do it. It’s really a process, a magical moment where I like to make a connection with you. There’s always a special bond that forms between the customer and the tattoo artist.

YOU’RE WORKING ON SOMEONE’S SKIN.
THERE’S NOTHING MORE INTIMATE THAN THAT.
