Asia Argento Angel, Pin-Up Girl, Portuguese, Wings Stomach Tattoo

PR Photos

Asia Argento has a large angel tattoo on her abdomen. This decades-old tattoo was first seen on a magazine cover in 1996. Due to its age, she had the tattoo redone by her favorite artist Marco Manzo in December 2013. “Angel is coming back with vengeance and proteçao. Getting it tattooed again by @marcomanzotattoo where it belongs since 21 years, tomorrow,” she wrote.

The angel is a symbol of protection and it sits next to a scar from hernia surgery. At the bottom of the tattoo is a banner with the word “Proteçao” which means “Protection” in Portuguese.
