Hi, I’m Dani, a queer femme tattoo artist from the Hudson Valley and co-owner of Rosy Cheeks Tattoo Collective in Rosendale, NY. I go by Purrsimmon, a blend of my love for cats and persimmons. My friendly, whimsical approach to tattooing often leads to lasting friendships with clients.

Anime is my biggest inspiration and the reason I started creating art. Some of my favorites include Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Nana, Fullmetal Alchemist, Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Evangelion, and anything Studio Ghibli. I also enjoy tattooing characters from cartoons and video games, as well as lady faces, florals, and more, always aiming for unique designs.

Outside tattooing, I’m passionate about pole dance, nature (I collect and pin dead bugs), and local DIY art and music scenes. Anime Ink will be my debut convention, and I’m excited to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share some laughs!
