🪄 ⁠"Magic" Tattoo Dave Knapp⁠ started his tattoo career under the tutelage of Dave Flowers at Guru Tattoo. Since then, he's had a storied career not only tattooing in many shops across the 408, but also in machine building, pigment production, as well touring as a music tech for many different musicians. The latter of which caused him to cross paths with the one and only Paramore and give each member their first tattoo.

Today you can find Dave at ⁠The Holy Scythe Tattoo⁠ in the Rose Garden neighborhood. This is part two of his interview.

🏍️ ⁠Dylan Sandstrom⁠'s dad dragged him to ⁠Tattoo John'⁠s San Jose Tattoo on the regular when Dylan was just a boy. It was there he was exposed to both the biker and Americana tattoo styles. The son of a biker and always fascinated by low riders, Dylan began drawing automobiles of all kinds. In early adulthood, he found himself in Arizona where he learned to tattoo before making his way back to the Bay Area. A couple of shops later, he found himself at Integrity Tattoo in San Jose. When things went south there, he and the rest of the crew were invited by ⁠Paco Excel⁠ to join the artists at Death Before Dishonor. Today, Dylan tattoos out of ⁠his private studio in Hollister, CA⁠ still motivated by the same motifs and icons he saw on the walls at San Jose Tattoo.
