A model and OnlyFans star, Urso often shares motivational phrases and clips alongside his eclectic tattoo snaps. "I am free, I have multiple loves," he said in a recent post.

According to Urso, his remarkable set of body art has set him back more than $40,000 over the years. These tattoos include nearly fully blacked-out arms, some imposing neck tattoos, and more.

"Each tattoo has a special meaning, a story that I carry with me," Urso said, according to The Mirror. "My tattoos represent my spiritual journey, they are symbols of protection and strength."

As a self-identified "spornsexual," Urso is obsessed with getting the perfect body by regularly going to the gym. The radical tattoo transformation he has undertaken could well be a part of this process.

Urso has also claimed to have eight wives, many of whom he features in scantily-clad pics on Instagram. According to the tattoo addict: "Some of them don't like to see me taking care of me so much – some are jealous."
