Crypto Fanatic Zachary Gollan Livestreams Madness: 700 ’Pump.fun’ Tattoos in Viral Stunt

Australian crypto enthusiast Zachary Gollan just turned his skin into a blockchain billboard—livestreaming the process of tattooing 'Pump.fun' a staggering 700 times. Was it devotion, delirium, or the ultimate shitcoin marketing ploy?

Gollan's ink frenzy blurs the line between fanaticism and performance art in DeFi's wild west. The livestream racked up thousands of viewers, proving once again that crypto culture thrives on absurdity.

Meanwhile, traditional finance bros clutch their pearls—while quietly taking notes on viral engagement strategies. After all, in a market where memes move millions, skin might just be the next NFT canvas.

Tattoo removalist searches for record in full-time streaming

Gollan’s marathon inking session is scheduled to culminate in a livestream on Saturday, where he plans to complete all 700 tattoos to go beyond the standing record. He says he has submitted an application to Guinness World Records to have the feat officially recognized.

The 27-year-old is on the precipice of changing his career to a full-time tattoo content creator and internet personality. Currently working as a full-time removalist, he hopes to build his own livestreaming tattoo sessions, specifically for the crypto community.

“I want to utilize my skills as a tattoo artist to build a VIRTUAL tattoo studio business online,” Gollan said. “A place where I can design and showcase tattoo designs and artworks tailored for the crypto community, where they can use my pieces as advertisements or promotions for their projects.”

Just less than a week ago, Gollan launched his own Solana-based meme token, PUMPINK. Since then, he has been streaming daily while tattooing himself. 

At its peak, PUMPINK reached a market capitalization of $412,150 but has since fallen 73% to around $108,000, now trading at 0.0000006251 SOL.

Pump.fun gets ink recognition

The Sydney-based former tattoo artist claims that his decision to tattoo Pump.fun was intentionally meant to “draw attention to the launchpad” and his personal brand. He believes the repetitive inkings are a conversation starter and a subtle FORM of viral marketing, even in unexpected situations.

“Say I’m in the hospital and I get a blood test, the nurses will see the tattoos, and even if they don’t ask, their curiosity will wonder why I have Pump.fun hundreds of times on my arm,” he surmised. “Same with if I got arrested, the police will see and ask, or just go home and search.”

The tattoos, he explained, will prompt people to Google the name, even if they never speak to him directly.

Gollan was previously affiliated with a biker gang that is now classified as a criminal organization under Australian law. As a result, current licensing laws restrict individuals with those ties from owning or operating tattoo studios. That restriction forced him to leave the professional industry and find work elsewhere, including truck driving and now removals.

Gollan is preparing to break more records. He promised to continue the livestream format under the PUMPINK banner and look for more tattoo-related world records.

His next targets include tattooing the most hashtags on the body, specifically using #PUMPINK, or the most tattoos of the same cartoon character, likely tied to a meme coin or NFT collection.

“I want to try to break at least five or six records before the end of the year,” he stated.
