Dan Mawdsley
Dan is an experienced tattooist with a passion for pop culture and realism. With 10 years of tattooing under his belt, he started his journey in a small town in central Victoria before settling in Geelong for university. He explored a few different industries before finding his true calling in tattooing at the age of 28.
Dan has worked in two local studios in Melbourne before joining The Black Mark team in 2017 where he is now part owner. He has also traveled extensively to learn from some of the finest artists and continuously improve his skills. Dan likes to travel for guest spots and conventions whenever possible to gain new experiences.
As a self-proclaimed closet nerd, Dan loves talking about pop culture with his clients, including movies, TV shows, music, art, comics, cartoons, anime, video games, and especially Star Wars. These are also his favorite subjects to tattoo, but he strives to be diverse and works across most styles.
When Dan is not tattooing or talking about pop culture, he can be found playing music, golfing, watching the NBA, or indulging in other sports that he loves.\
