Justin Bieber, 28, surprised tattoo artist Chris Dualmo, of Duque de Caxias, in Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro this afternoon by showing off a tattoo of the singer’s face done by the professional.
In the drawing, the tattoo artist reproduced an image of the Canadian singer on a client’s left leg during the show at Rock in Rio on the 4th of this month. The tattoo was based on a photo that the artist published after performing at the festival.
Chris posted the photo on the 14th, which has nearly 9,000 likes so far. He explained that he couldn’t miss this unique moment. “Of course I couldn’t miss this moment. Justin Bieber now immortalized in the skin at Rock in Rio!” he wrote.
“Justin Bieber shared a photo of my tattoo. Oh my god Justin shared the tattoo I got,” he celebrated on Instagram Stories.
The tattoo artist spoke to the newspaper O Globo about the excitement of being noticed by the singer. “And it gets likes. I’m shivering. I can not believe it. I went to the show and it was a very memorable moment for me, it was my first time going to a festival. I’ve been a fan since 2015 because of my wife who is much more of a fan of his. Coming off the show the first thing I thought was that I wanted to tattoo that moment on someone so I announced it on Instagram and a client said I did it for the day which was very special to me and in honor of my wife, who is a huge fan,” he said.
Chris is 28 years old, has been a tattoo artist for 6 years and has his own studio in Xerém, also in Baixada Fluminense do Rio.
