Daniel Skillingstead

Daniel Skillingstead

Daniel Skillingstead is a tattooer based in the greater Seattle area. In 2012, he completed an apprenticeship under the guidance of the late Squid Topinio and began tattooing professionally in 2013. His focus is on creating Japanese-inspired and American traditional tattoos.   Daniel has extensively studied these styles and it’s within them he believes he does his best work.  However, he is proficient in other styles and is happy to take on those projects by request. 

Daniel strives to provide his clients with a positive and comfortable experience. He currently works at Arrow and Sword Tattoo in Redmond, WA and occasionally tattoos at shops across the country.
