Dion Socia
Studio Owner and Senior Tattoo Artist
Dion Socia, a.k.a. "Big Daddy Love", is a tattoo artist and maker based in Bay City, Michigan. He's an alumnus of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and apprenticed at Liberty Tattoo in Chicago before beginning his tattoo career in 2011. Dion's practice spans cover-ups, color and black-and-gray realism, geometric artwork and portraiture, as well as illustrative work that fits the body well. For 25 years Dion led national hiring and training initiatives for theme-park artists, training thousands of artists to work with the public and deliver consistent, high-quality visual experiences. That experience informs his meticulous process: clear consultations, custom sketching, and multi-session planning (typical four-hour blocks; full days available). Off the bench, he's an obsessive guitar player and hand-builds guitars, applying the same careful craft to instruments as he does to tattoos. The studio is high-end and laid-back — professional, sanitary, and welcoming — where every client is treated like family. Dion aims for tattoos that read beautifully on day one and mature gracefully.
