Meet The Artists

I was born and raised in Idaho. I apprenticed under Russell Myers at Electric Dragon Tattoo, which at the time was the one and only shop in Boise, from 1986 to 1988. After his incarceration, I ran the shop by myself for several years. Upon his return, I departed and have owned Inkvision Tattoo since 1990.

In 1999, I took my one and only apprentice, Travis Berg: a great drawer, solid tattooer, and tactical joker who became my right-hand man, visual adviser, and life coach. His dedication to his craft motivates me daily.

I came into tattooing and my apprenticeship like a lot of guys my age, through the local punk rock scene: doing flyers and record covers, painting jackets, and drawing tattoos for my friends. I was also influenced by my love of underground comics in general, and Greg Irons, Jack Jaxon, Rand Holmes, and Robert Williams specifically. I still remember the first tattoo magazine I ever bought, with Bill Loika on the cover and an article on Greg Irons. I'm sure some of you know it.

Most of the tattoos we do at our shop are on the larger side, and we are fortunate to have a lot of returning clients who understand what makes a good tattoo. Tattooing is an unregulated industry where I live, so from one shop in the eighties to more than thirty today, we endeavor to persevere.

I get to do a lot of larger pieces: both Oriental and Occidental, monochromatic and polychromatic, religious and sacrilegious. I get to work every day with Daniel Gerbis. I love my job.

Daniel has been tattooing for 17 years. He started his apprenticeship in Statesboro, Georgia, while finishing his bachelor's degree at Georgia Southern University. He worked under his mentor before an opportunity took him to Texas, where he spent the next 16 years working in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and Fort Worth.

Capitalizing on every experience, he learned and honed his skills alongside amazing and, admittedly, some less-than-amazing artists in both walk-in and appointment-only tattoo environments.

Daniel has an old-school vision of tattooing. He is well-rounded and capable of executing almost any tattoo style. He maintains a strong professional rapport and is always willing to collaborate with clients on their design and vision.

From mild to wild, custom to traditional, all styles are welcome and applied with more than a decade and a half of experience.

All questions and inquiries are welcome. Don't be shy. Reach out and start the conversation!
