BUSTA BOLTOON

Born and raised in Johannesburg, Busta has dedicated his life to art, bringing creativity and inspiration to the burgeoning South Af

rican tattoo industry. Having grown up in a creative home, Busta was able to embrace his individuality, artistic talents and passion for punk music. Busta got the apprenticeship of his dreams at a well respected studio known for its incredible talents and work ethics. After qualifying as a tattoo artist, and filled with wanderlust, he made his way to the Mother City of Cape Town to explore life by the coast. With ever the gypsy heart, Busta moved back to Jozi and opened his very first shop, ‘The Lil Shop ‘o Horrors.’

Then came the studio that established Busta as a leader and innovator in the South African tattoo industry – The Golden Tiki. HILTON HOBBS
