DANNY SIVITER
Danny Siviter first created TEMPLE PAINTER as a platform for his art, which then turned into a brand, and now a studio space where he can celebrate the stories of each and every client that sits in his chair.
As a child, Danny remembers seeing tattoos on his grandpa’s arms, back when tattoos came with plenty of stories and a lot of respect. And even at an early age, Danny became very intrigued with the ability to express one’s self through images portrayed on skin. He feels that tattoos, whether directly meaningful or not, tell a story. He came to realize that he wanted to work in a capacity where he could help illustrate these stories.
Dannys passion for creativity started out musically in his early years playing in numerous bands for well over a decade taking him all over the east coast and midwest. In his mid 20s, while taking a break from touring with bands, he decided that it was time to pay his dues and give his complete focus and energy to the craft of tattooing. So he put down the drumsticks and microphones, and picked up a pencil and got to work. After apprenticing in North Carolina, Danny bounced around for awhile until he found a welcoming home in the Chattanooga area.
