Dallas grew up drawing nature, catching frogs and daydreaming. He wanted to be a homesteader, an archeologist and in the army but after high school he went into computer animation. After a couple of years, boredom set in, and he drifted from one shitty job to the next. He went through several relationships, towns, and careers before he started teaching himself how to tattoo. That was over 15 years ago. Today Dallas is an award-winning tattoo artist specializing in realism, surrealism, and portraits both in colour and black and grey.

To get a quality tattoo Dallas recommends that his clients send him a concept or theme and let him do the rest.
