In the dazzling world of home design, few names shine as brightly as David Bromstad. Not only is he a household favorite thanks to his appearances on HGTV, but he also boasts a canvas that’s anything but blank—his own body! Over the years, this 23-year-old tattoo enthusiast turned design star has transformed himself into a walking tribute to pop culture with a smorgasbord of vibrant tattoos.
Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction!
When you think of David Bromstad and tattoos, the first image that likely pops to mind is that oversized Mickey Mouse proudly displayed on his right arm. It’s not just any Mickey, though— this particular ink masterpiece features not one but five Mickeys, creating a colorful, whimsical tableau that would make even Walt Disney sit up and take notice. In an Instagram post from 2018, Bromstad humorously revealed the secret to this enchantment: “There’s my Mickey in drag!” It’s not just a nod to his playful personality; it’s a reflection of the joy these tattoos bring him.

“If you could see all the happiness this guy brings—he not only makes me happy, he makes everyone else around me happy,” Bromstad gushed to his friends at Tattoo Co. Orlando. It’s clear that his Mickey Mouse tattoo isn’t just an adornment; it’s a beacon of joy floating on his skin, spreading cheer where it goes. And let’s be honest, with that much happiness encapsulated in ink, who can blame him?
Castle in the Sky: Cinderella’s Magical Home
But wait—Mickey Mouse isn’t the only character taking up real estate on his body! In 2019, Bromstad decided one tattoo wasn’t enough to capture the enchantment of Disney, so he added Cinderella’s Castle to his thigh. With a cheeky post reading, “My thigh never looked more magical,” he showcased his new ink that embodies whimsy and nostalgia.
Now, considering he used to be a Disney artist, this tattoo serves as a warm reminder of his roots. It’s almost like Bromstad is saying, “I may have left Disney, but Disney will never leave me!” Imagine the design meetings where he’s like, “I need you to imagine Cinderella’s castle—only it’s on my leg!”
Hogwarts: Where Magic Meets Ink
As if his passion for Disney wasn’t enough, Bromstad raised the stakes with another pop culture tribute inked on his other thigh: a sketch of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter franchise. In a cheeky nod to his love for two completely different brands of magic, he shared on Instagram, “Although Disney and Harry Potter have nothing to do with each other, the thing they have in common is they both make the world [a] more magical place.”
Now, one would think that casting a spell for both Disney and Harry Potter might result in a magical disaster. But in true Bromstad fashion, he made sure the tattoos complemented each other instead of competing for attention. While Cinderella’s castle carries the word “Fantasy,” his Hogwarts illustration artfully displays “Magic” beneath it—a perfect pairing that elegantly captures their essence. Who knew that body art could be so profound?

In fact, he has bold plans to add even more art to his body, declaring, “I’m a blank canvas that needs to be filled!” One can only imagine the sheer volume of ink needed as he strives to reach his goal of covering half of his body with tattooed masterpieces.

As he steps into the future with more ink and inspiration, Bromstad is sure to capture some spectacular selfies to flaunt his newfound body art.

In a world where many choose to blend in, David Bromstad stands out not just for his design prowess but also for his unapologetic love for pop culture expressed through his colorful tattoos. Each piece tells a story, a memory, or a whimsical flight of fancy in a way that connects everyone who has shared genuine joy through Disney movies and Harry Potter tales.
