PTAA National Tattoo Convention 2008
The Tattoo Gallery had a tattoo
booth this year, so while our studio was closed in Adelaide, Mike, Andy and Dave tattooed full on at the convention...
Now & Tomorrow...
So, it's July and you all are getting three written reports rather than
one, too much information is never enough correct? And three is the perfect number...
Baby Dave is our Resident Studio Tattoo Artist. He commenced his tattoo career at The Tattoo Gallery way back in March 2000 and has never looked back.
Dave is funny and strange with a love of all things metal: He has guitars, monsters, graveyards and other strange tattoos - one of his more recent, a vampire bat drawn by his young son. Dave also wears a tribute to his own daddy of a winged guitar and has the actual footprints of his son at birth realistically reproduced on his forearm.
Dave will tattoo all styles and works in full colour or black and grey wash. He does portraits, cover-ups and after watching Mike all these years, his celtic is pretty damn perfect as well. Dave likes to draw and tattoo sexy pin-up girls, 50's style and has had the privilege to meet and tattoo Slash, when Velvet Revolver visited Adelaide a couple of years ago. In late 2007, Phil Anselmo plus band 'Down' supported the Heaven and Hell Tour and Dave and Andy inked their Southern Skins up good!
Dave's band 1313 www.myspace.com/1313 along with long time mate Tyrone is producing - check out their space. If you want to come in for a consult with Dave you can catch him at the studio most days [except Thursdays and Sundays]
or drop him an email at: inkme@tattoogallery.com.au.
Check out the tribute to DIMEBAG DARRELL, inked by Dave on good mate Chad!
