Chad has been practicing the fine art of tattooing and piercing since 1996.  

Opening his first studio in 1996 - Forever Ink,  located in Sanford, Maine was a true learning experience.  With some outside help from business and tattoo minds alike the shop was soon a success.

Our latest business; Venom Ink Tattoo started November 2004 in Dover, New Hampshire.  After quickly developing a strong clientele the shop moved to it's new location in Sanford, Maine. The shop is thriving, busy...busy...busy!  With two great daughters and the perfect woman, staying grounded is not a problem.  Venom Ink gains new clientele daily and strives to make each and everyone of them proud to wear our work.

Chad specializes in realism, but isn't limited to that by any means. Look at his portfolio and you'll see eveyrthing from bio-organic pieces to portraiture to asian  inspired. Anything is possible. No limitations!

They call me Man Hands Dan, M.H.D for short. I am the body piercer for Venom Ink and  I've been an apprentice for tattooing since early 2010. I first became fascinated with tattoos at the age of 17 when I began seeing all of my older friends getting tattooed. The day I turned 18 I went to get my first tattoo and from that point on I knew that this is what I wanted to do. I didn't realize how much of an art form tattooing and body piercing was until I landed at Venom Ink Tattoo. When Chad first tattooed me I was blown away by the time, effort, and detail that he puts into his work. I couldn't ask to be at a better shop. We're a family here and I am being taught by 2 amazing tattoo artists Chad Chase and Chris Chubbuck . They took me under their wing and I am extremely lucky to be able to call myself a member of the Venom Ink Family.
