Dan McStay remembers having to convince his dad, Trevor, the opportunity was too good to pass up.The unassuming Dan McStay plays a key role in Collingwood’s forward line.Dynamic Tattoos, the Richmond business Trevor has built over 30 years, had been recommended as the only direction in which the pop star should head.
It was 2013 and, although McStay was hardly a One Direction fan, he knew enough about pop culture to make sure Trevor made the time. “I came in and met [Harry Styles]. He was a super nice guy. He offered tickets to any show that we wanted to go to. [He was] just a really, really down-to-earth sort of guy.”Not that being raised by a tattoo artist made McStay interested in getting any ink, himself.“It’s just been part of my life … I’ve just kind of watched everyone else get tattoos, and it’s never been something that I’ve ever thought about doing for myself,” McStay said. “It’s pretty funny.
With his dad’s tattoo shop near Collingwood’s training ground and his sister – who is also tattoo-free – expecting a baby, the mild-mannered and modest McStay had only one thought: take me home. McStay was able to rationalise his impact, as he had spent part of the first quarter off the ground having a concussion test and reset to build some confidence in the second quarter.
Now he faces the third preliminary final of his career but this time he is at the MCG wearing the famous black and white.Dan McStay on meeting Harry Styles
