Bio

Danielle Figueroa formerly Danielle White is the co-owner of Primal Instinct Tattoo with husband Carlos Figueroa. She started her apprenticeship in 2006 in Northern California. She met Carlos at that same shop in 2007. Danielle worked at a few different shops briefly before moving to Arizona to work at Club Tattoo where she stayed for a couple years before moving to Alaska with Carlos in 2011 where they have been ever since.

Danielle learned the struggles of working in a male dominated industry (as many women have) but continues to work to break those barriers as times change. She has learned much from her experiences and takes pride in creating a clean, safe and comfortable environment for her clients and employees. She believes that the overall experience is important and strives to make it an enjoyable one.

Danielle works in various different styles of tattoos and appreciates the freedom her clients give her in creating their special permanent art.

She currently opens her books for about three months at a time. If you are interested in booking an appointment with her you can follow her on Instagram @danietatts and follow her booking instructions.

Here’s a sneaky peeky at another fun project I’ve been working on.
Another finished coverup! Swipe for freehand and before pictures. Thank you @kayla_amalia for the trust/freedom and for sitting like an absolute rockstar!
So there’s obviously a story behind this one! Once apon a time there was a giant wooden fish carving that was enjoyed by many children. This particular family would stop every time they drove by and they would get a picture of all the kids riding the giant fish until one day the fish rotted and was no longer available for rides or pictures but the fish lives on in their memories and now as an illustration in skin. The End. 
Thank you @orangeyjellooo for trusting me with this special piece.
