Pump.fun Tattoo Record Attempt: Australian Streams Ambition
Australian Zachary Gollan, identified online as Donnie Darko, is livestreaming an ambitious attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most tattoos of the “same name.” His chosen slogan? “Pump.fun,” the Solana-based meme coin platform.
The Stunt
Gollan, 27, currently works as a removalist in Sydney but aims to become a full-time livestreamer and crypto content creator through this effort. As of Thursday morning, he had inked “Pump.fun” 415 times on his arm. His goal is to reach 700 during a Saturday livestream.
- Current count: 415 tattoos
- Target: 700 tattoos by Saturday
- Effort is part of a broader plan to launch a crypto-focused livestream platform, branded PUMPINK
Motivation and Plans
Gollan explains his strategy to Decrypt, a cryptocurrency news outlet: the relentless repetition serves as a conversation starter and potential marketing tool for Pump.fun. The idea is that encountering the unusual tattoo could pique curiosity, drive searches on the platform, and attract viewers.
His long-term vision involves establishing a virtual tattoo studio business targeting the crypto community, offering custom designs and promoting projects.
He intends for the project’s livestreams to evolve beyond the record attempt. Upon surpassing the 700-tattoo mark, Gollan plans to immediately pursue subsequent world record attempts through continued live streaming.
He stated his intention is to break “at least five or six” tattoo-related records before the end of the year, speculating future endeavors might involve either the “most hashtags tattooed on the body” (#PUMPINK being a possibility) or the “most tattoos of the same cartoon character.”
Background and Perspective
Though he mentioned a past affiliation with a biker club that could preclude licensing for a traditional tattoo shop in Australia, Gollan appears to have left that chapter behind.
He got his start with a DIY tattoo kit from eBay as a teenager. He later moved into professional tattooing, which he subsequently abandoned due to the conflict with his past association.
PUMPINK Platform
Gollan’s own creation, PUMPINK, is a cryptocurrency token (with a $111,590 current market cap) existing partly for this ambitious streaming project. He intends to add more “Pump.fun” motifs and integrate them into the launchpad interface.
Comment
This ambitious project showcases how content creators and entrepreneurs are leveraging crypto themes and live streaming platforms—particularly Solana-based ones—to build their audience and create unique digital content streams.
