Celebrity tattoo artist and television star Thom Bulman is famous for his cartoon designs, incorporating characters from films, TV shows, comic books and animation.
Bulman has been a huge fan of pop culture and collector of toys and comic books for his whole life, amassing a huge collection over the last 35 years. He has been a tattoo artist for the past decade, working and living in New York and tattooing thousands of people with his hugely original and unique designs. As well as working at the tattoo shop Vault Designs, in 2017 he shot to fame when he appeared on the reality TV series Ink Master, starring in 10 episodes of the popular show. He was cast as one of the country’s most skilled tattoo artists to compete for a grand prize of $100,000, placing ninth in the show with his partner Derek Zielinski. Since the show aired he has become one of the most in demand tattoo artists in the country, with people travelling from afar to get one of his original ‘tattoon’ designs. He is now also the owner of skate clothing brand Firmware and custom shoe brand Bullairs, bringing his personal style and trademark look to merch and clothing.
This hugely skilled and creative tattoo artist has built a career for himself thanks to his talent and originality, and has his own niche which keeps customers coming back again and again.
