  • 033: Dan Wysuph — Part 1
    Jul 21 2025

    😶🌫️ Ethan took a trip down the windy highway 17 to pay a visit to Dan Wysuph at Fog City Tattoo on Seabright Ave in Santa Cruz, CA.

    🏄🏻 Dan grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains, attending high school in Los Gatos, yet spending most of his free time in Santa Cruz. Having spent his childhood with one foot in Santa Cruz and another in San Jose, he's spent the majority of his tattooing career like that as well. With just over twenty years under his belt, Dan has made a name for himself with his Northern Californian take on American traditional tattooing.
