During a 2011 appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio gave host Ellen DeGeneres a complete walkthrough of his tattoo collection at the time, which consisted of seven medium- and large-scale pieces. The reality TV star stripped off his shirt to applause, then proceeded to break down some of his most eyebrow-raising choices, starting with the massive illustration in the middle of his back. "So I got the Italian flag right here," he said, pointing to the glimpse of a green, white, and red flag, which sits below a tribal design that stretches between his shoulder blades and above a Gothic line of script that runs across his lower back, simply reading "Pauly D." Digging into the design, which is the only tattoo the DJ has with any color, he told DeGeneres, "It's like my skin ripping through and underneath is the Italian flag cause I'm an Italian man."

He then continued to the side of his torso, explaining that he got the word "Cadillac" inked down his side because "my favorite automobile is a Cadillac, so it says that." Jumping to his right bicep, he showed off the "rest in peace tattoo for my friend who passed away on a motorcycle." Then, he lifted up his arm and shared, "And that's Jesus over there [and] Mary over there." Finally, flipping over to his left bicep, he pointed to the tribal design he has there, concluding, "then I have just a dragon." Hey, sometimes you have just a dragon.
