10. Lance McLain- Dragon Tattoo

Based in Wahiawa, Dragon Tattoo is an “old school” tattoo workroom, which flaunts unique designs from Lance McLain, who has been working with tattoos since the 1970s. Specializing in the classic American style, he frequently consolidates bold colors and strong, dark lines. Former clients have often appreciated the friendly service, cleanliness, and down-to-earth strategy.

Lance McLain (b. 1952), who holds and operates Dragon Tattoo in Wahiawa, is one of the few surviving tattoo artists from the Sailor Jerry lineage and he is still working full-time in the “Old School” or classic American fashion. McLain grew up in Burbank, California, where his mother served in an office for Universal Studios. His friends’ parents were Hollywood animators, set builders, electricians, and lighting technicians. “I was brought up in front of a TV set,” declares McLain. “They didn’t know it was detrimental for kids back then. I was being programmed early with images of movies going through my head, so that is reflected in my work.” After high school, he sought the Navy, ending up stationed in San Diego in 1972, where he met tattoo artists Don Ed Hardy, Mike Malone, and Zeke Owen and decided that he had finally found his mission. Hardy and Owens showed him Sailor Jerry’s flash, and McLain pledged himself he would one day meet him. In 1973, when his ship was tentatively docked in Honolulu, McLain took a bus to Chinatown and spent three days talking with Sailor Jerry about tattooing.
