Joao is contributing to my new found love and fascination with Brasil. This shot is from Petropolis, if I’m reading that right because google is being a jerk and telling me it doesn’t exist.

1 way to ruin a tattoo
I really would like to see the black tattoo on his leg.
Ill ruin it for you; its black
Grande João Voador !!!
There sure is a place called Petropolis in Brazil.
how much scarring can you expect from doing a suspension? enough so that getting a tattoo over it would be unsightly/impossible? can you ruin an existing tattoos noticeably ?
It really depends on the person. I’ve seen people who look like they’ve had a horrendous case of the chickenpox from all the suspensions they’ve done and others where you can’t tell they’ve suspended at all but it is definitely not advisable to put suspension hooks through tattoos because you’re going to damage the tattoo.
Petropolis is a beautiful city, located in the mountains in Rio de Janeiro Brazil aui … I’ll put some links to some tourist spots of the city
I’ve done many suspensions here in Petropolis, has many pictures here in bmezine, and on my blog

arcadetoken: Tip your artist very generously and they may be more likely to touch up a tattoo with a few little suspension scars in it.
