Dallas and Brandi had been following each other on Instagram for quite some time, although neither one of them are sure how that even happened. She would like one or two of his photos, and he would like a few of hers. Eventually, they progressed from likes to leave a short comment such as "good pic," or "nice"! On August 12, 2014, Dallas decided to post a picture to Instagram saying that he would be hunting and tattooing in Staunton, Va the next month and to DM (direct message) him if interested in setting up an appt. Well, Brandi had been wanting to get tattooed and thought that Dallas did excellent work, so she decided to send him a message. Little did she know that it was all a ploy to see if he could reel her in and it worked!
