Hi, I am Dustin DeLong.

I am a Resident Tattoo Artist at 3rd Wish Tattoo located in Corpus Christi, Texas. I am 32 years old and was born & raised right here in The Windy City. Currently, I've been tattooing 11 years and have spent the entirety of my career at 3rd Wish alongside my mentor. I am diversified in most categories of tattoo styles, but my primary specialty is Black & Grey Realism and Portraits. I have been published and featured in several worldwide Tattoo Magazines and I am an award-winning artist. In late 2019, I won 1st place for Best Horror Realism and Best Halloween Tattoo in a Worldwide Tattoo Competition which landed me onto the Saniderm ProTeam. I am also proudly sponsored by Peak Needles and have been for numerous years.

For those that are interested in knowing more about me outside of my profession, I will share a little bit about me. First and foremost, I am a Family Man before anything. My Family is the driving force behind everything that I do and I wouldn't have been the man I am today without them. I'm also a Mama's Boy and always will be. Surprising to most, I am a huge nerd. I've read all of the Harry Potter books at least 10 times each. I have always had a love for video games, specifically, for Old School Runescape which I have played on and off for 18 years. Although I don't play an instrument, music is a huge part of my life. I probably listen to music 8 hours a day on average. I enjoy listening to podcasts, reading books occasionally, and learning. I love doing the typical "dad" things like mowing the lawn, learning how to fix things, and building things such as fences or bedrooms, etc. There are plenty of other things that I could say, but back to the reason you came here. TATTOOS!
