Hollis Cantrell

Meet Hollis Cantrell of Artistic Tattoo in Phoenix, AZ. On November 15, 2008, he set out to break the world record for the most tattoos done in a 24 hour period.

When he signed on to do this, Hollis was going for Kat Von D's record of 417. Then he found out about the new record of 726 and decided we would team up and make it happen with the best efforts possible, and he did.

He completed 801 tattoos of an "AZ" logo. I assume it’s not official until all the documentation is sent to Guinness Book and it is recorded.
