This giant black chest bar (which I would have loved to tag aggressively) belongs to Marcell, who was tattooed by Jerson Filho at Jerson Tattoo Studio in Brasília, Brazil… I don’t know if anyone remembers, but about ten years ago there were photos in the tattoo magazines of a pretty Asian girl that had a similar tattoo across her forehead, almost like cartoon Groucho Marx eyebrows — anyone that might have a photo of that one, please post a picture of it and link it from the comment forum (and if you know why, please tell me)!

not my cup o’tea, but still pretty cool….
I just find myself imagining what it would look like with some lovely skin removal scarification to accent it. YUM!
looks like there’s more all black on his left arm and some scars on his right… would love to see them as well!! love the black chest bar!!
I don’t like this. Nice collarbones though.
SE JOGA PINTOSA, USA ROSA!
Yey for blackwork!!
leroy, i don’t have an IAM account so I can’t send you a special message, but I agree with you completely: “yey for blackwork!!”!
I’d be interested to see the scars on his arm in full, they look pretty cool.
I’m strangely drawn to this. It’s not normally something I find aesthetically pleasing, but I think it’s sexy in this case.
it’s a wonderful pillow too
now if he were to put some white ink on that i think it would look compleatly amazing
this is just my cup of tea…it’s so beautiful.
I think that would look better with some scarification going in and out, but thats just my opinion.. not the biggest fan of it, I’m more of a fan of stuff that works with the body.
My big opinion is: If YOU like it, go for it!
Looks… like a sharpie.
I wonder if he had anything under it.
oooh… what’s the plan for this?
Looks well executed.
I notice the black work on his bicep there too.
What’s the big picture idea here mate?
Makes me want to write on it with a white grease pencil. It’d be like a chalkboard 😀
/in a goofy mood, sorry
losubres: I agree; skin removal could look pretty cool over this – that’s the first thing I thought when I saw the photo.
But I actually think it looks pretty awesome right now 🙂 I love blackwork tattoos.
How many hours did the chest take. I bet the top corners didn’t hurt a bit.
Shannon, I remember the woman with the “Groucho Marx” eyebrows too! I found I had a picture and posted it to my Iam page.
Is this the same guy posted a while back with the play piercings over the tattoo? Anyway, I really like them as they are, especially the one on his arm.
Vai se fuder, Marcell!!!!
e chupe meu belengo!!!!!
Wow! How is it so very black? It looks a lot blacker than most I’ve seen, is it just the pictures? Or has it just been done?
