William L. "Tattoo Bill" Hanson

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Bill gave me my first tattoo (pig with rose) on my left shoulder. He made the whole experience painless and made me want to get more, which I did. In fact I have one from each of you. I will treasure them forever.

Nancy,
We are truly sorry for your loss. Bill was a truly amazing artist and person. We are both proud to wear his ink-and will forever be reminded of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family-

My sympathy to all his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Nancy,
my deepest condolences go out to you and yours. I have evidence of the talent Bill possessed as a dragon that he was able to fix and finish that I will continue to cherish. The world has lost a wonderful artist as well as all he was to the others in his life. Again, heartfelt condolences ~ Gypsy

Tim and I are going to miss seeing Bill at the Admirals games. Our deepest sympathies to the entire family. I found this online (of course), but think it is worth sharing -Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, love leaves a memory that no one can steal. (From a headstone in Ireland) You are in our thoughts.

We are so sorry to hear of Bill's sudden passing. We extend our arms to you with sympathy, and our prayers go out to you and your family. God bless.

Nancy,My deepest sympathy.Bill was the only artist to put ink on me.I will miss him dearly.I will think of him every time I look at my tattoo's and that will be everyday!!!

My deepest sympathy to the family friends and neighbors of Tatoo Bill It is my honor to wear a tatoo done by such an artist.

Nancy, We're shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's passing. He was one of the most talented tattooists in Wisconsin and perhaps the Midwest, certainly one of the kindest, and we'll all miss him terribly. We hope to see you soon, try to be strong. With love and prayers, Gehrman & Barbara
