Check Out New Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Badass Tattoo

Newly-elected Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is getting a lot of adulation right now for his youthful, optimistic, yes-we-can-esque Liberal Party campaign that resulted in a decisive upset victory over the country's Conservative Party. Now Trudeau is becoming something of a wonk pin-up, thanks to his handsome mug and prodigious mane of hair (described as "luscious" by the Mirror in the U.K.) Newspapers worldwide have dedicated stories to Trudeau's sex appeal.

Fueling the excitement? The discovery that Trudeau, the 43-year-old son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, has a badass tattoo (actually, two pieces) on his upper left bicep. The PM's ink was first revealed a few years back when he sparred in a charity boxing match against a political rival. (Though smaller, Trudeau won—of course.)

"My tattoo is planet Earth inside a Haida raven," he tweeted at the time. "The globe I got when I was 23; the Robert Davidson raven for my 40th birthday."

In a surprisingly comprehensive analysis of the cultural significance of Harper's tattoo, the BBC reports that Trudeau will likely be the only dude (or lady) sporting ink at the next G8 summit in Japan. (Not the first, though—past commanders in chief including Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, George V and Tsar Nicholas II all had tattoos, according to the BBC.)

No word yet on whether Trudeau will celebrate his newly-formed government with, say, a full back piece featuring a charging mountie against a backdrop of maple trees—but if he does, we're pretty sure there are a few Italian tabloids that will pay handsomely for the exclusive.
