Every time they have sex, they are really just increasing the size of their Trunk.... And the Shemale Mafia smiles.:pumped:

Scorpion tat in gay community tends to mean hiv/aids positive

I think it means there's a 'Stinger' between their legs!!! :shrug

shemale mafia??? I think they just like scary bugs

I am Brazilian, so I can explain.

The attachment to the figure of the scorpion has a simple meaning: to say that it is "dangerous", who will suffer are those who "love it".
Those who have the scorpion as a sign, so the tattoo.

Butterflies are also tattooed, and contrary to what some think, that does not mean that a butterfly tattoo is a lesbian. The butterfly and dolphin are reasons for being tattooed women.

Lately, it has been tattooed everything from dragons, stars, horses and even dollar signs, often in huge tattoos on his back, something I find horrible, but ... Each knows what he does with his body.

The kids (mainly from the favelas) hunt the yellow scorpions they way american kids used to catch bees with a jar years ago. The Scorpion can take you out with 1 sting so you see many references in brazil, especially around the capoeira events.

If you ever visit Rio in the evening near the lagoa (lake) you will see the kids looking for the yellow scorpions with black lights.

Aside from the scorpion tattoo on the stomach you may have scene the 5 stars on the neck also.
