We've always been fascinated by the inspiration behind the tattoos that people get. We're particularly fascinated by tattoos that are inspired by anything having to do with Latino culture. We've shared tattoos inspired by Day of the Dead, Selena Quintanilla, and Latino celebrities. Now we'd like to share tattoos inspired by the late, great Vicente Fernández. El Rey of Mexican rancheras died on December 12, 2021, at the age of 81. Fans throughout the world are mourning the loss and celebrating his life as an artist.
More from MamásLatinas: The life, music and legacy of Vicente Fernández
Even before his death, die-hard fans of "Chente" were getting his image tattooed on their bodies. We can only imagine that now that he has passed, more fans will be inspired to get Vicente Fernández tattoos. Many of us grew up listening to his music and watching his movies. He was an institution, and although it may have been our parents who introduced us to his music, his voice became a treasured part of our lives because it touched us and made us feel connected to our emotions and our Latinidad. For some, like the people who got the tattoos we are about to share with you, Vicente Fernández will always be El Rey.
