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!

Themetacular

Some recentish Joe Capobianco girls...

All At Sea

Nice mermaid from Jason Lambert

Kick-Ass(anovski)!

These wonderful women were all done by Marija Asanovski of Sailors Grave Tattoo. Thanks to reader Lars for the hat-tip. I am absolutely in love with the Snow White one, best tattoo I've seen in ages.

The Devil Is In The Detail

Nice shading on the nsfw boobies, Brady Wilmott.

We have a Vinall!

A nice collection of new school pinups from Steve Vinall, with a touch of the Corpse Bride about them?

Cappy Christmas!

Joe Capobianco isn't just one of the most well-known pinup tattoo artists, but my personal favourite. So for Christmas, I thought I'd show a few of his early works, to get that festive spirit into you! Happy Christmas!

Nurse-At-Sea

Nice mer-nurse from Chad Stone.

Underrrrr the seaaaaaaaaa!

This blog needs more Valerie Vargas, her stuff is incredible. I love this old skool mermaid.

Tony Ciavarro-verload!

Okay, lets stop this one pic per post thing for a bit, in honour of Tony Ciavarro, a wonderful tattooist who I must admit I'd not heard of before going to TattooJam last weekend. Here are some of his wonderful pinup girls...

Nice Hips Sink Ships!

Lovely mermaid pin-up from Hannah Aitchison.

Mervellous!

Superb old school mermaid from Clarity.

New Hotness: Robot Mermaids

With, um, rockets. Tattoo by L.A.Ink's Hannah Aitchison, who is way too good for that ego-wank soap opera.
