Dustin J. Burrowes, 36, of Laramie passed away peacefully in his sleep Saturday October 21, 2017 at his home in Laramie. He was born October 22, 1980 in Laramie, the son of Arlie Martinez and Jerri Burrowes. He received his education in Laramie, later attended junior college in Riverton, WY before returning to Laramie where he opened Tyme Tattoo as a successful tattoo artist. Dustin was a great father, son, brother, and friend to all. He could always be counted on to provide advice, an ear, or a shoulder. If you sat in his tattoo chair or crossed his path you know he was a great person and we are all blessed to have shared part of our lives with him. He was passionate about his work, was an amazing artist, and loved San Francisco, where he vacationed often. For those of us that have the great fortune of his art on our bodies, let it forever be a proud and powerful reminder of his smile, his love, and his genuine kindness. We love you Dustin, you will be sorely missed.
“One day, if I go to Heaven, I’ll look around and say, ‘It ain’t bad, but it ain’t San Francisco.’”

I have known Dustin since we were in grade school together he always had a smile on his face. When my son wanted to start getting tattoos Dustin has done them all. Me and him were talking about him doing my memorial tattoo for my brother in law only person I trusted to do it. I will miss seeing him come into my job when he needed his hummer fixed or towed, he always had a positive attitude towards every thing and life. He will be surely missed. To the family and friends I am so sorry for your loss
