History

Dan Koenig established YDD Tattoo at 2312 University Ave, in the heart of Dogtown, on April 21st, 1997. In August of 2005, he packed up the shop and moved it on skateboards down the block to 2322 University Ave. In 2007, Ace Wilde joined the shop and the shop won Cityview's Best Tattoo shop by 2009. In 2016, we welcomed Steve VonRiepen into the shop. We also have a steady rotation of guest artists from around the country.
