Julián Araujo’s tattoos appear across his neck, arms, hands and legs in the Los Angeles Galaxy feature made with 805 Beer. The defender talks about his football career, Lompoc and tattoos he says carry personal stories. Photos show script, Roman numerals and dense black-and-grey work, though they don’t explain every mark.
The Lompoc connection
805 Beer connects Araujo’s career to his Lompoc roots, calling him the 805’s own defender. The feature places his tattoos alongside that hometown connection; the photographs show where the ink sits, but don’t assign a meaning to each design.
A collection built from family and place
The interview discusses Araujo’s favorite tattoo and the stories behind his collection. It also describes ink on his sleeve, legs, shoulders and back. The images show lettering, Roman numerals, shaded pieces and smaller hand marks, while the LA Galaxy video gives more of the conversation.
The neck lettering and Roman numerals
A black-and-white close-up shows two lines of script across the back of Araujo’s neck. Beneath them, a broad outlined design spreads across his shoulders, with Roman numerals along the lower edge. The photo makes the writing and placement clear, but 805 Beer doesn’t transcribe every word or number.
The layered arm sleeve
In a seated portrait, Araujo rests his arm beside a bottle. Overlapping black-and-grey shapes, shading and lettering run from the upper arm toward the forearm. Larger forms sit higher up, while the work looks denser near the wrist; marks continue across the fingers and back of the hand.
The leg tattoo in the seated portrait
A separate seated photo shows a dark design running vertically along Araujo’s lower leg. Its outline and placement are visible, though the frame is too wide to read the smaller details. The feature also identifies leg tattoos in its account of his collection.
Shoulder, hand and leg details
A wider photo of Araujo with two dogs shows more shaded work on his shoulder and arm, along with the leg tattoo. Small marks on the fingers and hand sit at a different scale from the larger pieces. The image gives a broad view of the collection without identifying every symbol.
The wider sleeve in the close portrait
In another portrait, Araujo leans over a Galaxy shirt while writing on it. His neck is partly visible, and the arm shows script alongside shaded work. The frame links the neck and sleeve in one view, while keeping the shirt and the tattoo designs distinct.
How the photographed collection reads as a whole
Araujo describes the tattoos as stories and discusses a favorite in the 805 Beer feature and accompanying Galaxy video. The photos record the mix of script, numerals, shaded arm work, leg ink and hand details. They show where the designs are, but leave many of their personal meanings with him.
