Brass moved from Waterbury, Connecticut to Miami so that he could possibly further his career as a tattoo artist.

While working in the Miami Ink shop, he constantly is being messed with because he has a nice attitude and charm that hides beneath his rough exterior.[4]

Background[edit]

Darren Brass's whole name is Darren Collarado Brass.[5] He was born in 1972,[6][better source needed] and began his career when one of his friends introduced him to tattooing. Brass suffers from diabetes and has to take due precaution while working. He is 5 foot 4 inches and is covered in bright and colorful tattoos. He is married and has a little dog that he is known to treat like his child.[4] Brass received his first tattoo when he turned 18 years old. It has been said that his sweet demeanor makes a majority of first time clients more at ease and less nervous.[7] Brass is commonly mistaken to be from the Latin descent, but he is actually half Irish and half Polish.[5]
