Messed With Texas! Ya'll
It's true. I messed with Texas. Ya'll. Nothing but fun times at the Ink Life Tour tattoo convention. Maude Cobb Convention & Activity Center in Longview, Texas was the hosting event center this year. There was a whole slu of activities on hand. Not only could you take home a new tattoo but there was a dog rescue in there. Puppies! Bands included Misfits, Puddle of Mudd and Saving Abel.
I got the opportunity to share a booth with my friends Kito from Inkmaster Season 6. My bro Jiggy and Dallas artist Sparticus. I watched Sparticus from Artistic Encounters tattoo a killer portrait of Charles Manson on his own Mother. I believe Now, I have officially seen it all. Lol.
I want to thank all the fans, friends, fellow tattooers and all the people that treated me so well. I can't wait to come back next year and tattoo Ya'll again.
What is a Mandala? And Why do We Get Them Tattooed?
Mandala or Man•Da•La : Is a geometric figure representing the universe. Usually found in Hindu and Buddhism symbolism.
These designs although challenging can make a great tattoo design. Often times you will find them done in black dot work or sometimes even in color. When placed properly on the body they can make for a perfect enhancement to adorn the body. The tattoo you see above is the first session outline and will be a part of an ongoing full sleeve tattoo combining japanese peonies and other styles of mandalas.

Throwback Video: Jason Clay Dunn Paints Salvador Dali
Here's a throw back from 7 years ago. Often I would go out and paint and sell art prints at street fairs or art walks. This one happened to be at the Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
In this painting I am doing a classic portrait of Salvador Dali and enjoying painting outside. This was done years before I started Tattoo Alchemy and I was working privately at the time out of my professional home studio. It's been a while since I've picked up my Iwata Micron Airbrushes. Maybe I should cleen um up and get to work.
In fact, I think I'll take on some painting commissions. Contact Me for a one of a kind piece of art.
What does The Matrix and Jason Clay Dunn Have in Common?
JCD Fun Fact: Several years ago I worked for a shop in San Pedro, CA. I worked with Ethan Morgan (former owner) from So Cal Tattoo.
One day a beautiful lady walked in and asked me for a squigly tribal like design off a sheet of flash. We actually used to do flash back in those days. I believe it was around 1999.
Turns out this beauty is the daughter to the late great singer, Marvin Gaye. Her name: Nona Gaye. We got along great. Did the small tattoo and off she went into the world.
Fast forward several years to 2003. It was the opening day to The Matrix Reloaded. Me being the nerd I am guranteed me an earlybird seat. Low and behold to my surprise, I see a tattoo that is about 6 foot high on the screen. It took me a minute to remember doing that tattoo out of hundreds in the past. It was Nona playing the part of Zee in the movie. I wish she'd let me give that thing a fix up after all these years.
So there you have it. A JCD Fun Fact and life goes on. ;)
