Dan Rossetter, from Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex had delved so deeply into the crippling world of addiction, he knew he'd end up dead or in prison if he didn't stop. 4 The 40-year-old travels up to 600 miles away to tattoo celebrity clients Credit: mediadrumimages At the age of 30 he had reached a breaking point after dealing with years of painful trauma from being sexually abused throughout his childhood. Battling with PTSD, Dan soon lost his job as a BOC gasman - but tried to find some sense of justice in 2013. He bravely spoke out about what had been done to him from the age of six to 11, and three years later the survivor saw his abuser sentenced to 13 years in jail. However, this did not put an end to Dan's addiction, and by March 2019 he knew it would either kill him or land him in prison. Dan, 40, who now lives in London, told MediaDrumWorld: "My addiction was getting worse, I got to the point where my mental health was deteriorating rapidly and I was feeling very suicidal. 'With a lot of hard work and help from some very good lifestyle coaches I managed to get myself clean and sober and then my obsession became work and being the best version of myself." Now four years sober, Dan travels to tattoo pro-footballer clients who live up to 600 miles away, and has amassed nearly 200,000 TikTok followers. 'I've tattooed the most footballers out of any other tattoo artist in the world; I've documented a lot of this on TikTok which then blew up so my demand for general public clients has also increased massively," Dan explained. 'I have clients travelling from all over the UK and also from abroad. "Recently I flew over to Spain to tattoo Real Madrid's Eden Hazard, he wanted a scroll with his five kids' names in it."
