It’s hard to find an artist that’s more than an artist. But when I stepped in to Stellar Electric I found an artist, a life long friend, and brother in Christ. I trusted Dane with my very first tattoo and when that needle hit my skin for the first time I was hooked. He’s been my go to guy even though I live over 90+ minutes away. His shop just has that chill vibe like I’m in my own living room. The convo is always something my heart and soul needs. And he will bring your dream piece to a reality. So sit back, chill, and experience the best ink therapy you can find!
