Dan Smith, aka Dan Under[1], (born 15 April 1980 in Middlesbrough, England) is a musician .

At the age of 6 he moved to Auckland, New Zealand. Spending his childhood captured by music, Dan played in many bands all the way up until his early twenties. In 2001, after an intensive visual tattoo education from Dean Parkin and Dan Andersen of Sacred Tattoo in Auckland, Dan began traveling playing music and pursuing his self taught tattoo career, spending the most part of 2 years in Australia.

In 2004 Dan moved to Los Angeles, California. In 2006 he started the alternative/new wave band The Dear & Departed. Signing to Science Records saw the release of their first LP Something Quite Peculiar. In 2008 he was invited to work at Kat Von D's world famous tattoo shop High Voltage Tattoo in Hollywood.

In 2009 he was picked up to be a feature on the hit TLC television show LA Ink. In January 2010 the band released an EP on Equal Vision Records called Chapters and set out on a relentless touring schedule. Smith is now filming his 3rd season of LA Ink and The Dear & Departed are set to record their next LP in August/September of this year.[1] [2][3] Smith is married to Skully, a 25-year-old radiographer, model and founder/owner of En-Veil, custom boutique veils. They live in Hollywood, California.
