Luísa Sonza’s tattoos range from fine script to bright colour and dense blackwork. In a Gshow interview, she explained five designs: a phrase from her parents, a heart with a music note, an ET in a rocket, a balloon with “believe,” and an ornate forearm piece. The close-up photos show the tattoos themselves, so their meaning doesn’t have to be guessed from a distant red-carpet shot. They look like separate choices gathered over time, rather than one planned set.
Onstage, Sonza’s styling can be high-gloss. The tattoos in the close-ups are often simpler: thin lettering, clean outlines and a few vivid colours. Here’s what she has said about the designs.
The family phrase on her arm
The script around Sonza’s upper arm reads “Tudo sempre dá certo,” or “everything always works out.” She told Gshow that her parents used to say it to her and that it became a personal mantra.
The thin, loose lettering follows the arm like a bracelet, with enough space between the words to keep them readable. It feels more like handwriting than a formal slogan, which suits a phrase she grew up hearing.
The heart with a musical note
A fine-line heart and musical note sit on Sonza’s upper thigh. She said the tattoo represents her love for her profession, rather than a particular song. The two parts are small but easy to distinguish: the heart gives the design its feeling, while the note points to music.
The little ET in a rocket
The ET riding in a rocket is the most playful of the five. The small cartoon sits near Sonza’s ribs, with a loose, sketch-like outline rather than realistic detail. She said it represents having the courage to face the unknown. The rocket gives that idea a direction; the little alien keeps it light.
The balloon and the word believe
A coloured balloon on Sonza’s forearm has patterned panels in yellow, red and teal, with “believe” written below in a loose script. She connected it to believing she could build a life in music. The balloon gives the word a picture to sit beside, and the forearm’s length lets the two elements move vertically together.
The bolder forearm work
This close-up shows a denser black ornamental design, with repeated shapes, curved borders and a central geometric form. Its mirrored flourishes give the pattern a clear centre, unlike the finer script and line work elsewhere in the gallery.
The Gshow feature describes one of Sonza’s five tattoos as a dinosaur drinking wine. This crop doesn’t show a small animal clearly enough to identify the image that way, so the design is best described by what is visible: an ornate forearm pattern. That distinction matters when a photo can’t support a more specific label.
Why the collection feels balanced
The five designs don’t share one style: there’s fine script, a tiny music symbol, a cartoon, colour and ornamental blackwork. Their link is personal meaning. The family phrase, music references and rocket each point to something Sonza has explained, while the forearm piece adds a different scale and texture.
Their placements also vary. The arm tattoos appear more readily in photos, while the rib and upper-thigh designs are seen in closer images or particular outfits. That gives the collection room to be both visible and private.
Ideas worth taking to your appointment
If one of Sonza’s tattoos catches your eye, start with the idea behind it rather than copying the image. A phrase you actually hear, a lasting interest or a small joke tied to a memory will mean more than a design chosen only because it photographs well.
Think about size and placement together. Fine lettering needs room to stay legible; a detailed pattern needs a broader, flatter area; and a vertical image can follow a natural line on the body. Sonza’s collection works because the designs don’t all have to match. Each has its own reason and its own place.
