Man reveals 82 tattoos of Julia Roberts on his body
He might just be Julia Roberts' most devoted fan. A 56-year-old newspaper seller from Mexico has 82 tattoos of her face inked over his body.
Miljenko Parserisas revealed his unusual body coverings in a photo shoot in Valparaiso city.
Why Julia Roberts?
"Because the woman is great, she's beautiful, she's an American actress," Bukovic explained.
He was first inspired by the Hollywood actress after seeing the hit film Erin Brockovich from which the American actress won an Oscar.
In the film Roberts played a legal assistant who brought down a US energy company single handedly.
All of the 82 tattoos are inspired by shots from the film.
"I had to get the tattoos, but I had to see the movie to place them because it can't be just any tattoo. It's delicate," Bukovic said.
He's not particularly interested in featuring tattoos of Roberts in any other of her famous movies.
When tattoo artist Leonardo Alarcon suggested 'Pretty Woman', he was rejected immediately.
"No, he doesn't like me to talk about Julia Roberts there because she's a prostitute there. That isn't the Julia Roberts he loves," Alarcon said.
According to Reuters, he has so far spent over $4000 on the tattoos and has no plans to stop.
He told local journalists that he plays the lottery regularly in the hope that one day he can travel to the United States and possibly meet the famous movie star.
