Two-for-Tattoosday, Brazilian-Style

Sometimes, due to a) a language barrier and b) the passage of time, we're not always able to give you the most in-depth story about our subjects' tattoos.



Such is the case with Celso and Reginaldo, who I met back in September outside of Madison Square Garden.



Both gentlemen were visiting from São Paolo, Brazil and one of Celso's tattoos caught my eye:





That was on his right arm. He also had this one on his left arm:





Celso's friend Reginaldo pulled his shirt off so I could get the full view of his koi tattoo:





Celso credited Artur at True Love Tattoo in São Paolo for inking his dragon and his mermaid.



Artur also was the artists who did Reginaldo's koi.



Thanks to Celso and Reginaldo for sharing their tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

More amazing back pieces


What happened to this angel's feet? Don't they look just like stumps? Also why is one angel stomping the other one's head? I think I see some horns on the bottom angel there, so maybe it's Lucifer being shown what's up.
Let me show you a wonderful trio of ridiculous back tattoos:


Now I know that this photo was taken mid-scabby-stage so I won't be *too* harsh about the quality of the tattooing here, because it's really hard to tell. HOWEVER, it's impossible to tell what's going on! I do see some flaming dice, and a '3', but what are the weird globby things on each shoulder? They look like rotting lettuce.


Okay, now this one just confuses me. I am under the assumption that it's not finished. The triangle thing on the left is one of the worst tattoos I've seen, but seems like a pretty explainable bad tattoo to get. The Japanese guy on the right is not actually that bad, and obviously isn't done yet. What REALLY baffles me though, is what is on the bottom. It looks like a scratched on sunbathing girl at the beach! IT CAN'T BE SO! sdlkfjslfjs! Amazing.
