Back in August, I met Camila in Penn Station after spotting an amazing tattoo wrapping around her lower left calf.
The piece was still in progress, however, so we posted this tattoo instead.
Over this past weekend I was pleasantly surprised when Camila sent me photos of her finished leg piece. Behold:
Camila's tattoo celebrates her Brazilian heritage. The woman is holding two guns and represents female empowerment. The cityscape behind is a Brazilian favela, or tenement, representing her homeland, in addition to the Christ the Redeemer statue, perched high above Rio de Janeiro.
It's completely black and gray, save for the red in the lips of the woman and the lone kite flying above the favela. The red represents the colors of the carioca, or the greater metropolitan area of Rio.
Truly a marvelous tribute to one's homeland and culture!
The tattoo was done by Camila's friend Daniel.
Thanks to Camila for sending me the updated photos!
