Eight months ago, Colorado native Donte Hall started following the TikTok account of Fayetteville tattoo artist Jonathan Dump. Hall was so captivated by Dump s skill, he decided he wanted to get tattooed by him, even if that meant flying to Fayetteville.
Hall got a tattoo of two scenes from the anime Black Clover on his bicep. He said last week that he plans to come back in July for more artwork.
Dump, 27, isn t a stranger to people coming from different parts of the country to be tattooed by him. I get a couple from California every now and then, people from New York, he said last week. The day after (Donte) got tattooed, a girl drove like almost 11 hours from the other side of Tennessee.

The Lidl supermarket on Skibo Road in Fayetteville has reopened after being closed for more than 10 days due to pest problems.
The problem was first reported to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services on March 25. The store voluntarily closed March 29, said Heather Overton, assistant director for public affairs at the state department of agriculture.
The store remedied the problem and reopened Thursday, Overton said, adding that there is no concern for consumers.
While civil penalties can be levied on persistent offenders, Overton said this case appears to be isolated and did not believe Lidl would face any penalty, beyond the closure.
