Dane Nicklas is a tattoo artist now working out from Valentine’s Tattoo in Seattle, a feminist-powered and inclusive space famous for its collection of wonderfully offbeat and experimental musicians. Dane’s work fits this market perfectly, mixing classical artwork symbols with pale colors and psychedelic illusions, such as warped geometry, oversized weeping eyes, and massaging heads. Sadness and absurdity beneath the normal seem to be recurring themes in Dane’s stylishly strange world. Visit the artist on Instagram to view more.
