ABOUT
Being a part of an open and accepting, and well off, family meant that Dani had the freedom to do what she wanted, when she wanted. A jack of all trades she was though, never sticking to one thing for very long. Ice skating, roller derby, softball, chess club, creative writing classes, you name it, Dani has tried it. She needed something to scratch an itch but she didn't know what to do, she loved doing unique things that no one else had but with a little nudge from her parents she decided to go down a different root, do the more common activities but just be exceptional at them.
So she changed things up. Starting learning how to sing and read music and play instruments, but not just one instrument, six. Spending her teenager years making videos on YouTube of her covers and busking on the streets. But after that she soon discovered her main passion, tattooing. It wasn't until she and a friend snuck themselves into a party they definitely were too young to be at, they found that down in the basement a totally illegal tattooing session was taking place. Dani was instantly hooked, watching the way that ink and skin were combined. So she went away, totally focused on art and learning the craft of being a tattoo artist.
Making sure that would be the best of the best, Dani enrolled herself to PSU as an art major and took as many jobs as she could on the side, including gigs. It wasn't long after graduation that a great opportunity fell into her lap. A perfect sized building, with great rent and in a fantastic place to grab the attention of experimenting college students and tipsy tourists, had become available and Dani knew that she had to take the plunge. It didn't take long for Wither & Bloom (named after Dani's love of flowers) opened and Dani knew that she had finally scratched that itch.
Dani is a pretty chilled out soul. Likes to see both sides of the story and barely gets angry. A massive flirt, you'll often see her pulling the moves on any woman she gets in her tattoo chair. Her love of music is still there, but tattoos take priority.
