Nickel & Brass Tattoo Collective

Give a warm welcome to our newest artist at Nickel and Brass Tattoo Collective, Dannie Smith! ✨ Dannie is open to many styles of tattooing, but has done lots of black and grey work including traditional/neotrad, blackwork, fine line, and ignorant style. Outside of tattooing, Dannie loves pinning bugs as a hobby! 🦋 Fun fact, Dannie once got stranded on top of a mountain on a solo trip in Colorado 😳 Follow @touchofgreybydannie on instagram, and DM her there or request Dannie on our website form 🌙
