Tattoos

"Tattoo's are like A bio"  Johnny Messner on "Miami Ink"

 

Looks like Johnny has a new tattoo located on his chest.  I have not been able to find a clear photo of it

yet. This is a screencapture from "Loaded" where you can faintly see it.

  Left shoulder: An American eagle drawn by his brother (pen name Johnny dismal)

    Left inner forearm: A blue eyed Monica Bellucci - got while filming  "Tears of the Sun"

   Right Shoulder Angel (17th century image)

    Roses - "Every rose signifies a time in my life I did something really really great for the

 people I love."

      Chineese characters down mid right shoulder "New Beginnings"

and above wrist " Family & Respect".

   Inner right forearm - christ on the cross designed by his Brother & featured on an

episode of "Miami Ink".   "For me it helps me balance... knowing where my powere comes from"

     Back of neck - "Reality" "because that's where I like to keep it, I don't want to see it."

                

              

 

 FilmFource interview August 27 2004:

Q: Tell us about these tattoos, you've got quite a few.

JOHNNY MESSNER: This is my father.

Q: And there's a big eagle with a five-pointed star on the side.

MESSNER: Yes, this eagle... my brother is an artist and he draws all my tattoos. I told him, "Make an American eagle and make his

faced f***ed-up because I'm tired of the way America's getting s*** on. And so I said, "Make his face just a little distorted so he looks

pissed." And that's exactly what he did.

Q: What about this other one on your shoulder?

MESSNER: It's actually an angel from a seventeenth century image. It's three angles swooping down on the Christ Mother.

I put the one angel -here, and every rose after that signifies something spectacular that happened to the people that I love.
