Clarence J. Danny Danzl arrives in Seattle and sets up tattooing in a tavern on 1st Avenue- Seattle’s Skid Row. Danny calls his tattooing business- Seattle Tattoo. Danny was born in 1911, St. Paul, Minnesota. Danny moved to Detroit during the great depression to learn tattooing from Percy Waters. Waters is famous at that time for being one of the finest tattooists in America and also owning the largest tattoo supply company. Danny leaves Detroit to seek fame and fortune out west. He spends some time in Colorado and makes his way to Portland, Oregon where he tattoos out of brothels. His next stop is Seattle where he ultimately lives out his long career as tattooist and founder/owner of the Seattle Tattoo Emporium.
