About Donny Newman

As long as I can remember I've been fascinated with art, in many different mediums. Growing up I sat for hours and tried to replicate my favorite comic book characters; I love the process of being imaginative and bringing ideas and thoughts to life through my artwork. I got my first professional tattoo when I turned 18 and I guess you can say I latched onto the world of tattooing at that point and desperately wanted to be a part of it...I started my tattooing career in Austin,TX and shortly after moved back home to California, where I have worked up and down the state. I feel blessed to now call San Francisco and Castro Tattoo my home. I love all styles of tattooing including Japanese, Black and Grey, Traditional Americana and Neo-Traditional color work and focus on very elemental imagery.
