About Dan Schlauwitz - Tattoo Professional in West Kelowna

I am an artist and co-owner of Punktured Art Tattoo Studio here in West Kelowna. I was born and raised in Dawson Creek, B.C. where I found my passion for art. for as long as I can remember I was drawing, painting, and colouring on anything I could get my hands on. After high school I went right into construction building houses and then scaffolding. Fast forward 6 years and I was a foreman scaffolder running jobs at the age of 24, I knew this couldn't be the peak for me and I had to shake things up so I booked a one way flight to Australia. During my time in Australia I rediscovered my love for drawing and I began designing tattoos for my mates in the hostel.

When I got back I bought my first tattoo machine and started practicing on whatever I could get my hands on (including my legs). I then moved to Kelowna and worked my way into an apprenticeship with the OG; Jer Papove. Once I was ready he sent me to work down at a downtown studio,  I had the pleasure of working with a lot of amazing artists and soaking in all their knowledge. I specialize in black and grey realism, fine line and dot work. I can emulate many different styles and I am always up for a challenge. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I loved creating it and I'll see you at our new shop soon
