Question
What does the fire dancer represent? I thought it would be a beautiful tattoo, but I want to know what it means before I get it on my body! It is so beautiful.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Bronwyn,

The fire dancer was a doodle Dave made when he was younger.  I don't think it was supposed to mean anything at the time, and now it's just been adopted as a general symbol of DMB with no particular meaning.  So if you want to show people you're a DMB fan, the tattoo would be perfect, but I wouldn't really get it to symbolize anything else because it really doesn't mean anything else.

Hope this helps,
Andy
