Darryl is an award winning artist proudly working at Slave to the Needle inn Seattle WA. He’s spent the majority of his tattoo career in the Seattle area, with stints in Europe and Las Vegas. His preferred styles are neo-traditional, American traditional, and color realism, often times combining styles to create something all it’s own. Darryl finds joy in large scale work as well as smaller one session pieces. He likes to participate in tattoo conventions and travel for guest appearances. While not tattooing he’s usually either painting, doing leatherwork, or golfing. Darryl works at our Ballard location and is greatly looking forward to collaborating on your next tattoo.

Pork belly Tacos for Cinco De Mayo. Was supposed to be food for camping this weekend, but the lady came down with the COVID. Luckily she can still taste and smell. So these aren’t going to waste. Stay safe everyone and Happy Cinco de Mayo.

Trying to get back into the swing of posting. I’ve neglected Social Media for a while now. But here’s a wolf I finished last night. Thanks for looking.

Thank you @aaron_bell and @ogmelbell for the early Birthday gifts. You 2 are the best!
Explored the Island today. Hiked to a lighthouse saw 2 eagles murder a seagull. Made a couple roadside stops including a winery. Saw 2 Honda monkeys I have to buy now. And finished the day sitting by the lake. .

Piece of a sleeve I’m working on. A bit swollen and a little bloody. I’ll post a healed shot when the whole arm is finished. Thanks for looking.
