Welp, This Dio Tattoo Wins the Fucking Game

Of the many stupid tattoos people get, few are as bad as the ones trying to incorporate a part of the canvas’ body into the art. “Look, it’s an elephant around my crotch, so my dick is the trunk!” Awful.

But our buddies in Metal Injection showed us this Dio tattoo below by artist Ben Carlisle, from the Ronnie James Dio Instagram page, and it is a motherfucking five-star gold medal winner. Take a look:

Well, I’m out. I’ll keep getting tattoos, and as long as I don’t get one of bullshit Hebrew or a baby raper‘s face, I’ll be okay, but none of them will ever be as cool as this one. The artistry on Dio’s face is nice and professional, and incorporation of the arm is fucking perfect. Winner, by unanimous vote.

More than anything, this tattoo is a solid reminder: go put on some Dio. You won’t feel satisfied until you do, and you’ll be happy you did afterwards.
