Dave explained that this floral tattoo on his scalp was inked by Mike Adams, who was doing a guest spot at Thicker Than Water in Manhattan.
Dave elaborated:
Dave, who is approximately 70% covered in tattoos, had mostly been worked on by Tony Hundahl from Rock of Ages Tattoo in Austin, Texas. Hundahl has done both of Dave's sleeves (including the traditional segment pictured below), his chest, stomach, back, knees and one of his legs."We had talked about some ideas when I saw him [Mike Adams] at the Philadelphia Convention. We showed up [at Thicker than Water] and he just showed me some of the drawings of the tattoos he had recently done.He had done another flower on someone else in the past week and I said 'Oh, let's do one of those.' He said, 'Yeah, that's awesome/ Let's do it.' "
Dave added that, since moving to Washington D.C. recently, he started collecting work from other artists in the East.
Along with Dave, I met Bethany who, shared one of her more recent tattoos, this whale by Deno Jr.:
Deno Jr. works out of Circus Tattoo in Madrid, Spain, but had recently done a guest spot at Tattoo Paradise in D.C.
This tattoo is of this lonely whale, whose song is different from any other species, so it is an outcast, and she doesn't have a mate.
Thanks to Dave and Bethany for sharing their amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
