Provenance
Offered directly by tattooist, tattoo art collector and 'Diamond Jacks' studio owner, Darryl Gates
With much travelling in his early days, Dennis developed his own style spending time in the USA, Canada, Japan and most of Europe. These designs were executed at Dennis' Finchley Road studio, taking inspiration from Sailor Jerry's designs, who was a good friend of his at the time.
