Who Did Your Ink?: Dana Tate adds a new fox to her ever-expanding collection

Who Did Your Ink? is the Straight’s weekly feature, where we ask badass Vancouverites about the talented artists, indelible stories, and, at times, questionable antics behind their most treasured tattoos.

What’s your name? Dana Tate.

Who did your ink? Keith Durocher at Pennyblack Tattoo (438 Richards Street).

Why did you choose this artist to do your tattoo? I had a teacher at Vancouver Film School who I respected immensely, and one day, she was standing outside Pennyblack talking to Keith, who is a friend of her husband's. I thought, "She's a hip chick" so I took a chance. He's been my artist since 2010 and has done 12 of my tattoos.

Is there any meaning behind it? In regards to the pointillism fox, I've been collecting anything to do with foxes for years. A girl I worked with had drawn it for me as a birthday card.

Who’s your favourite local tattoo artist? Keith Durocher.
