About me: ..
Prof. Bob Dunn: Tattoo Art was est. by Prof. Bob Dunn in Feb. 1995. Bob started his tattooing career in the 1980's. He served his apprenticeship with Kerri Eaker at Altered Images in Wichita Falls, Texas. The majority of his experience at this point in his career was comprised by fine line black and gray work. In 1989 Bob left Texas and went to work for Lou Sciberras at Moon Over Miami Tattoo studio in Dade County, Florida. Lou introduced him to East Coast style tattooing, bold line and bright colors. After working there for about a year and a half he was invited to work for Sailor Moses at California Studios in Biloxi, Ms. Sailor Moses was indeed the most positive influence on Bob's career. With his encouragement and direction Bob learned how to compose custom designs, and become an excellent freehand artist. Awards:
