Daughter Of Man With 98% Tattoos Across His Body Shows Off Her First Inking
“My family was never against my way of living and liking tattoos – even my mother has several.”
Dad-of-two Marcelo De Souza Ribeiro is known for his extreme inking. The 38-Year-Old from Bocaiuva has covered 98% of his body with over 1,500 tattoos and has a metal fang in his mouth. He got his first tattoo at 15 and realized at 22 that he wanted to augment his look further.
Marcelo took things to the extreme by getting inked regularly and undergoing body modifications, including having his teeth replaced with nickel.
He has also modified his ears and has undergone a tongue bifurcation – a tongue split. To add to his look, Marcelo has had specialist tattoos to make his eyes and gums appear black. Now, his children follow in his footsteps, with his teenage daughter, Hilary Beatriz, 19, already inked.
Hilary got her first tattoo at 17 and added four more in the past two years.
Marcelo’s son, Aleff Ryan, 9, is already expressing his interest. “My son always says he wants to get tattoos when he grows up. My family was never against my way of living and liking tattoos – even my mother has several,” he reportedly explained. On social media, Marcelo appears to inspire more than just his family members to get inked.
He’s constantly praised for his looks, with people having dreams of getting to Marcelo’s stage while a few asked about his tattooed eyes and metal teeth.
He added: “I’ve wanted to do the metal fangs for about 10 years. I love the shine and the look they have – they don’t impair my eating in any way. I still want to get more tattoos as well. The only places I don’t have any are some small spaces on my leg as well as more intimate areas. People look at me with curiosity and interest when I walk by because of my tattoos.”
Not everyone supports Marcelo’s tattoos, meaning he also receives many backlashes.
He attested the hateful remarks are mostly hinged on religion, with people telling him he won’t make heaven because of his tattoos. However, Marcelo isn’t letting the negativity get in the way as he admitted the tattoos might have improved things regarding heart matters. “Women are enchanted by them,” he alleged.
Accordingly, his look has never got in the way of work; therefore, he earns enough.
