KYLE
COSMAN
B
yron Bay, Australia was where
Kyle first began working on his
full sleeve tattoo. He lived there
working as a manager at a hostel for
ten months. Kyle says he became
very spiritual at that time in his life and
found a special relationship with god;
his sleeve tattoo resembles that time.
After he moved back home to Victoria,
Kyle met with Colin at Government
Street Tattoo where he had some of
his other work done. The large tattoo
on his neck is a dagger going through
a heart. “It cuts through the bad part
of my life and separates the good from
the evil, Kyle says. The right side of my
heart is on fire which resembles pain
and all the bad in my life, but the left
side is the opposite, it resembles the
good.”
The dragon which is on Kyle’s side,
was tattooed on him because he
was born in the year of the dragon
according to the Chinese Zodiac
Calendar. From straight on, Kyle’s
body looks half tattooed and half not,
which he says is exactly the look he
was going for.
