🎨 NEW SCHOOL WITH A WILD IMAGINATION

Delai Dzen () makes tattooing look like a comic book came to life on skin. His new school work is loaded with saturated color, bold outlines, and inventive character design — horned demon masks, potion-skull hybrids, a tactical giraffe, a cyborg frog, large-scale thigh pieces that hold together like illustrated scenes. Playful concepts executed with serious technical control. The color rendering alone puts him in a different category.

📍 Catch Delai live at:
Palm Springs Tattoo Arts Festival | May 29-31
📍 Palm Springs Convention Center | Palm Springs, CA

🔥 3 days of live tattooing, elite artists, wild entertainment and Villain Arts energy
