Inky Cells Tattoo Company-Dana Tyrrell

Dana is the most phenomenal tattoo artist I have ever encountered, and she is a really amazing person as well. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about this woman both as an artist and an individual. I have I don't even know how many hours of tattoo work (two full sleeves, a back piece, and several other miscellaneous pieces) and I will never go to another tattoo artist. She is my tattoo artist for life.

Dana is AMAZING. I would trust her to do anything. That's all that needs to be said. Thank you for all of my beautiful tattoos!

5 years old and counting, my tattoos by Dana still have strangers approach me every time they're visible to complement the vivid colors, quality, and general composition.

I have two large tattoos by Dana - a half sleeve medley and a Betty Page pin-up on my side. Both are incredible.

For the half-sleeve, I came to Dana with very little direction - I had only the notion that my tattoo should look great and have a classic feel. Armed with miscellaneous magazine cutouts and vague descriptions of things I love, Dana whipped up the perfect half-sleeve in one take.

For the pin-up, I came with a Betty Page painting, but wanted her not in the nude, and with a different facial expression. She's utterly perfect - beautiful, not sultry, and wearing a red dress and shoes that are artistic, but so real one could almost touch them. Dana has an amazing ability to convey texture.

My tattoos includes bright colors, heavy shading, even a chrome finish - and all look fantastic. I know artists who specialize in specific styles, but no artist comes close to her varied talent.

If that weren't enough, Dana is incredibly fast. I wouldn't think of bargain shopping when it comes to tattoos, but I was stoked to discover she was way faster than other artists, a clear indication of her natural talent.

Further, Dana is an amazing painter - especially of motorcycle art. I own two of her pieces and both are stunning to visitors and to me, even after all the time I've spent staring at them.

Another thing I love about Dana is her no-nonsense approach to where she'll tattoo, what she'll tattoo, and the ink she uses. She's got a serious side where it matters, but is as down-to-earth as they come. And her office staff - resident distractors extraordinaire - are as fun as she is.

I'd recommend Dana to anyone (and do often).
