The Vision Behind Kline Family Ink

Welcome to the world of Dan Kline, the heart and soul of Kline Family Ink in Emmaus, PA. Here, tattooing isn't just a job; it's a revolution. With over 20 years under his belt, Dan has been tearing up the rulebook and crafting original, kick-ass artwork alongside some of the tattoo industry's giants. Back in the day, before tattoos became the badges of honor they are now, Dan was already on the frontline, turning skin into canvas with a boldness only a true rebel could muster.

This isn't just about ink; it's about a love affair with art that bucks the norm. Dan's roots are deep in the gritty, raw beginnings of tattoo culture, where making your ink, needles, and machines wasn't just cool—it was necessary. It was a world few dared to tread, defined by patience, persistence, and a dash of madness. That's where Dan thrived, turning challenges into art, and in the process, becoming a legend.

Dan's life is a testament to the tattoo parlor's buzz, a place he's called home more than anywhere else. He's a master of evolution, always on the pulse of new trends, techniques, and styles that keep him at the industry's cutting edge. From the classic elegance of traditional and Japanese tattoos to the raw beauty of portraits, black and grey, and even the unique challenges of biochemical, watercolor, and dot work, Dan does it all. And yes, he's even rocked the traditional Polynesian stick and poke method, because why not?

But here's the real deal: Dan knows a tattoo is more than ink; it's a piece of your story, etched on your skin for eternity. He's not just about slapping designs onto clients; he's about embarking on a journey with you, discovering who you are, and how best to express that through art. Dan's here to make sure your tattoo isn't just something you live with, but something that amplifies your voice, your style, and your badassery.

When I started tattooing and walked into a tattoo parlor; you were immediately hit by a cloud of cigarette smoke and the smell of green soap. You knew you were about to do something that your family would not approve of, that feeling was euphoric. It was that same feeling I had when my dad took me to get my first haircut at the local barber, there were a bunch of old timers telling stories about sports, war stories and of course, girls. I had found my home in those days. I knew it was a place that was different and that others felt the same as I did, it was liberating.
