Denver area tattoo artist breaks world record

Imagine doing anything for 60+ hours straight. A local tattoo artist did just that and set a world record.

Darren Arellano, known as SRAW, has been tattooing for 16 years and now has the Guinness World Record for longest tattoo session. 64 hours and 30 minutes is how long he sat and tattooed multiple people to break the old record of 61 hours 37 minutes, which had been held by an Italian tattoo artist. SRAW said he got 5-minute breaks each hour, and he rationed them so he could take a break at 9 hours, then a 30 minute break at hour 20.

SRAW works out of Three Eyed Tattoo Studio in the Broomfield area, he did the marathon session in 2025 and Guinness just recently did its due diligence and confirmed the new record.
