Maria Louise Del Rosario may not be known as the "Butthole Tattoo Girl" much longer. She says she's got a beautiful singing voice, and it's just one of the many talents she wants to share with the world. One of her greatest musical inspirations is Rihanna's song "Hard," but when it comes to "Killing Me Softly," she says, "I can sing better than that bitch Lauryn Hill, even my friend said so."

We caught up with Maria to find out about the new crown of thorns tattoo she got around her butthole, over the two names that were already there, and her potential new role as a songstress. 

New Times: Wasup? How's it going?

Maria Louise Del Rosario: Hey, I gotta tell you, it's funny, but you twisted my words around for our last interview. The girl in jail called me "Thick Shit," like t-h-i-c-k. Not "Dick Shit," like you said.

Oh shit, sorry, I can go back and change it?

No, just leave it, just leave it, it's funny. It's all over the world now. Even if it's not on purpose, take whatever ammo I give you and shoot away.

So, it's been a couple weeks now since the South Florida Tattoo Expo. What's with you?

I'm on my way walking to the train station to go get the love of my life. I met him last night on the phone. We stayed up talking all night. We literally didn't sleep. He pulled some slick shit and said he met me before.

Are you gonna get his name tattooed on your butthole?

No. I'm gonna get it tattooed on my finger.

So, I saw somewhere that now you got a crown of thorns tattoo?

I put a crown of thorns on my ass, I put it on my asshole cause I know I'm the shit, so forget the red carpet. Just roll out the toilet paper. We made a video too. I went, and I took it hard. We even had safety words like, "If I say taco, that means go." I had a belt around my neck and I didn't pull or let it loose. I took it like a champ. 

Instead of shading it in black, I have yellow, like the sun, so the sun really does shine out of this ass.

Wow.

I like it hard in the ass, so I put a (tattoo) gun there not a dick. My asshole has got the crown, and that's where it's gonna stay. I'm an artist, a painter, a poet. I can sing. I'm gonna use all I've got. My art work is my gift to you and to the world. I don't want your money. When I write my book it's gonna be free. The only money I want is for my modeling. That's gonna be a big fat book with 6,000 pages.

What's your favorite song?

My anthem is "Hard" by Rihanna, and I also love Skillet's "Awake And Alive," and Eminem's "Not Afraid."

When are you going to start recording music?

That's coming soon. I'm telling you, I got an awesome little voice, I sort of lost it from choking myself, pulling my hair, and screaming, but I think it's coming back. After I get my voice back, I'm ready to blow that shit away. 

When the people look at me, they see wisdom, they see I'm brave, that I'm not scared, that I know what the fuck I'm doing. I can sing better than that bitch Lauryn Hill ever will. I've got way more soul than she does, and she supposedly hates white girls.  

Uhmmm...

I am the new generation. I ain't ashamed of this shit. And when I say bitch, it's not out of hate. You're my nigga, cause you're my boy. It ain't no diss. It's like Marilyn Monroe said, "Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius." Nicki Minaj is gonna put the crown on this ass. Put a crown on this one baby. I'm the bitch now, pass it down.

What other goals do you have?

I'ma flaunt it, cause I got it. And I got tattoos too, so, I wanna be in Suicide Girls. I'ma show 'em some class. All those girls they got in there, trying to be slut in the butt. I put a tattoo gun there, locked, and loaded and ready to go. It'll happen. 

They love my tattoos, and when they ask to take a picture with me, I'm not gonna be no greedy celebrity. Take pictures, make my ass more famous. You want my autograph, that shit'll be worth some money. I let the world hear my voice by word of mouth.
