Bruno, World Traveler, Shares Two Impressive Tattoos

On a lovely fall day, back in October, I met Bruno on 32nd Street, just south of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeley_Square">Greeley Square</a>.<br /><br />This was the tattoo on his calf that caught my eye and inspired me to stop him:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS8B_2RvOG-raTbSNV00igCEaUkOjMf1vW7FMlTuoM53jKC7QKYCF_yOcg2EjLsiMCb3W5HQ7qm6EX7bw-uJxvROO7KJ35XQECc0FufSVOZv7gHmwtg_OpSgLqiPhB4T9S2yGHt9BPv1c/s614/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS8B_2RvOG-raTbSNV00igCEaUkOjMf1vW7FMlTuoM53jKC7QKYCF_yOcg2EjLsiMCb3W5HQ7qm6EX7bw-uJxvROO7KJ35XQECc0FufSVOZv7gHmwtg_OpSgLqiPhB4T9S2yGHt9BPv1c/s640/photo.jpg" width="294" /></a></div><br />Bruno told me he was "travelling the world, trying to get some good waves everywhere I go." He had this <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannya">Hannya</a> </i>mask done "back in Brazil, four years ago,"<br /><br />But, despite spotting the mask on his leg, he was more proud to show me his latest tattoo, still healing on his thigh:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2kX3v1smIsTDV49CgYit3d1WOrZ7yPxXW_vrZ-eVGn-A2PhxTjjYgDL-0Gy3dyPJVRu2dIgsbiSYfZO3WhTmgp6zd39MmlQW93NfPSli-W2D5_-ow9kFLvBrc53IY2i_V031yOwqJmg/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2kX3v1smIsTDV49CgYit3d1WOrZ7yPxXW_vrZ-eVGn-A2PhxTjjYgDL-0Gy3dyPJVRu2dIgsbiSYfZO3WhTmgp6zd39MmlQW93NfPSli-W2D5_-ow9kFLvBrc53IY2i_V031yOwqJmg/s640/photo.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br />This tattoo on his thigh was done in Indonesia. He identified it as "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barong_(mythology)">Barong</a>, a god from the Hindu-Balinese religion." It was inked at <a href="http://www.shotonktattoos.com/">Shotonk Tattoo</a>, by Shotonk, who Bruno said is "one of the best tattoo artists in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bali">Bali</a>."<br /><br />He added, that Barong is "one of the protector gods for the island, so I really feel like he's going to be protecting me in all my journeys."<br /><br />Thanks to Bruno for sharing his cool tattoos with us here on Tattoosday! We wish him safe travels as he journeys the earth, looking for those awesome waves.<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><b id="internal-source-marker_0.6423494587652385" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2013 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are seeing this on another website other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
