Living art.
Tattoos are as fine a way as any to mark moments in time. I, myself, have many including, but not limited to, an Elvis Presley “TCB in a flash” logo replete with stars representing the important personalities in the Memphis Mafia, the flag of Yemen, a surfing snowman and a black panther climbing a rather tricky cliff during an apparent lightning storm but none come close to Filipe Toledo’s latest.
The current world number one just went under the needle in order to document his utter dominance over the Oi Rio Pro which, for the past handful of years, is contested at a picturesque municipality some two hours from the aforementioned Rio de Janeiro.
The artwork, featuring the town, some palm trees, a gaping barrel and the years 2018, 2019 and 2022, was applied to Toledo’s lower calf by a competent artist and has room to add more years below in the almost certain case that he wins more.
The Kelly Slater of Saquarema.
Inspirational but back to you.

Wouldn’t a mouse doing an air on a 2ft closeout be more accurate? Everyone knows that Pip is a barrel dodger, as will be proven -again- if Chopes is pumping.
Where’s the asterisk?

And now?
Gently caressed. Then bashed.
Dont know – but town of krui back in 2004 were pretty suspicious of us – until my mate broke is ankle and whole town came into the xray with him!!! beautiful 8hr drive back to plane to hop to jakarta to Sydney
I of course stayed on like good mates do!!
Never been, likely never will. Just as well if that’s on my forehead.
No, but getting something similar done. Gunna get a couple of King Neptune’s rogering each other at Trestles.
Full back or wrapping around ribs – so one arse on chest stomach and the other on the back – that be good!!!
Just full back, I’m planning on getting a few ribs removed so it would look funny.
Was it marilyn manson that got ribs removed so he could suck himself off??? i see the angle you going for
More angle.
