“When we are creating and sharing the gifts of that creativity, we are living in Love. We come closer to God.” - Darnell Waine
Darnell Waine was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He was very young when he first noticed his artistic ability and loved being creative. After graduating from high school, he was not interested in art school, he was more attracted to tattooing. He did not want a regular job, so tattooing was the perfect career choice for him. He believes, “…drawing is the basis of a good tattooer’s abilities. The same principles apply in drawing and tattooing-—you’re just learning a different tool and canvas.” He has been tattooing for over 15 years and specializes in black & grey realism and illustrative realism. He loves tattooing portraits.
In an interview with Bethany Scott about his time on Best Ink, he said that the show was an awesome experience. “I like to compare it to a roller coaster ride—ups & downs and you get thrown for a loop from time to time. I definitely learned a lot about myself as an artist and things haven’t quite been the same since the show aired…in a good way, of course. Artistically there were definitely some tough competitors I was going up against. The other artists definitely kept me on my toes and pushed me to really dig deep creatively.”
Although tattooing is how he pays the bills, painting is his passion. And he does dig very deep creatively. This can be seen in his art at AMH Gallery which stands for All My Heart Gallery. Darnell once believed that his purpose in life was to create art. One day he found his highest purpose was Love. That art was not his greatest purpose, but his greatest tool to fulfill his purpose. Darnell’s art embodies the spirit of love and he shares his art to inspire others to cultivate love from within and share their love with others.
