Bloke With Full Sleeve 'Theatre Masks' Tattoo Certainly Doesn't Mind A Bit Of Drama

A Betoota Ponds bloke that is really pushing the limit with just how far you can walk inside a service station with a lit cigarette before it becomes a violation of state law, also appears to be a rather illustrated gentleman.

Aside from his multiple facial piercings and excessive silver jewellery, Knoxlee Lundynn (29) is a canvas of inked self-expression.

And his tattoos aren't just the usual Old English slogans and family crests... each piece of body actually has a rich body of subtext below the skin.

The most visible being the black and red dragon on his neck - which symbolisesm strength, wisdom, protection and good fortune - while also a nod to his deep respect for 'Asian culture'.

Then of course there is an array of 'Kirituhi' style tribal tattoos that cover his shin, lower back left arm - which are supposed to represent 'family, loyalty and faith'. These tattoos are quite ironic considering the fact that Knoxlee served a six month custodial sentence for king hitting a Maori bouncer in 2021.

Then there's the full sleeve down his left arm. The piece de resistance. Knoxlee's 'Theatre Masks' tatt.

Despite never taking part in any amateur stage productions, Knoxlee believes this is the tattoo that best explains his mindset. The ancient pair of 'tragedy and 'comedy' theatre masks - one smiling and one weeping - represent the duality of drama.

And as a bloke with an array of AVOs placed on him by former employers, Knoxlee certainly loves a bit of drama.

"One represents comedy and one representing pain" says Knoxlee.

"So like, yeah. If you wanna take the piss. Don't think I won't respond in a way that shuts you the fuck up"
