Support for the Family of “Little” Dave Hartdorn

The unforgettable David J Hartdorn passed away suddenly on Thursday April 28th. In his absence his wife Angelina and his two daughters are left to navigate a future of uncertainty of every kind. While Dave’s family is supported for the time being, we want to raise funds for savings for long term educational support for both of their wonderful daughters with special needs Em and Magnolia.

In addition to being a beloved family member, father, husband and friend, ‘Little’ Dave was a respected and prominent member of the tattoo community in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and beyond. As a tattooer he left his mark on hundreds of individuals in a decade spanning career. His prolific body of unique artwork, designs, and paintings have gone on to be displayed and enjoyed all over the country. Dave and his family enjoyed a wonderfully rich life full of music, literature, artwork, travel, laughter, and forward thinking. To his own, dave was compassionate, kind, fiercely loyal (and stubborn). At some moments quiet and thoughtful, and next moment, uproarious and full of inappropriate humor. To know Dave was to love Dave. While no amount of money will fill the void of his absence, we can together show his family and community that his daughters will continue to be secure in their bright future.
