This looks like a tattoo of a Brad Neely comic. I have no idea which one and am way too lazy to research that, so instead, and in honor of the Father of Our Country on this Presidents Day, here is the Greatest Video—nay, the Greatest Thing of All Time:
No need to thank me. Wait, I take that back. You should totally thank me.
It’s St. Florian. In central Europe he is venerated as patron saint of firefighters and his pictures/reliefs can be found on many firefighters houses

So, getting back to the tat (the video was funny as sh!t, BTW), WTF is it? A Mayan warrior pouring gasoline onto the white invaders’ civilization (as symbolized by a ramshackle backwoods Holiness church) is my best guess.
Uhh, a crusader putting out a fire on a log cabin?
Oh my god. Thank you!
It’s St. Florian, Patron Saint of the firefighters. At least in german speaking countries. And it seems to be drawn by a three year old.

Here in the english Wikipedia with a small pciture of him pouring water:

And here in the german Wikipedia with some more pcitures and a naked butt:

This is the patron saint of firefighters, don’t remember his name. In Europe (at least in Germany) you see him on murals on housewalls to ward off fires.
Interesting! Thanks to your lead, I was able to find the name (Saint Florian the patron saint of Poland; Linz, Austria; chimney sweeps; and firefighters) as well as several variations of depictions of this saint, though none were quite as … special as the one pictured in the tattoo O.o I like how it looks as if the water is going directly into the door of the building, rather than onto the fire XD

Lo-fucking-L
Yeah, it’s Saint Florian, patron of firefighters. At least in Central Europe.
This is supposed to be St Florin? He looks like a half-naked, astronaut-helmet-wearing, frightened space giant.

He’ll save children but not the british children! I saw that video several years ago at a film festival…seeing it in a movie theater by surprise was golden!
ST. FLORIAN
Patron Saint of “Fire Protection.”
Yes, his image is painted on houses quite often in Germany, especially in the South.
Saint Florian, patron saint of firefighters as stated above.

Somehow, the above soulful rendering doesn’t quite match the original.
And may I say – AWESOME video!
The video sucked. Someone please tell those guys they can’t sing.
i didn’t get it either. it was just one massive WTF for almost all my senses.
Yeah! I like the beatles, too! Their music was way better.
Hey Guys I know who it is, you were all wrong! It’s actually St. Florian, patron saint of the firefighters in certain parts of Europe. And it’s painted on the walls of the building.
No way, man. Check your facts. It’s actually St. Florian, patron saint of the firefighters in certain parts of Europe. And it’s painted on the walls of the building.
OK, so wait… let me just clarify… once more…
This is Saint Florian, patron saint of firefighters, especially in Europe?
I think they put his picture on the wall of the building.
Speaking of Brad Neely, have you heard of “wizard people, Dear Reader”? It’s a full length comantary track to the first harry potter movie, recorded by Brad Neely. It’s downloadable here

and it’s brain-meltingly hilarious
Why are the faces at mount rushmore green? Are they aliens?
So let me get this straight… St Florian was an giant Inuit huntress who wore a torn skirt, with her pubes showing, and went around pouring gray water (bath? kitchen sink? wash tub?) on burning buildings, while carrying a Danish flag?
I don’t get all the thumbs-down votes. Must be some butthurt individual(s), thinking that this is meant as a jab at St Florian, instead of simply a picture of a really shitty tattoo of St Florian.
Did I mention that this is of St Florian?
You’re wrong about the Danish Flag but rumors have it, that this could indeed be St. Florian, patron saint of the firefighters in some parts of Europe.
When I first saw the tattoo, before i read under it, I immediately thought “he’ll save children, but not the british children”. I saw that video like 3 years ago and I’m still inlove with it. You truly made my day by letting thousands of others see that video.
Oh wow! I’ve just realised who this is… it’s St Florian, the patron saint of firefighters in Europe!!
Could there be more people saying that?… I think it would be a struggle! 
I think I can answer your question: IT’S ST.FLORIAN, THE PATRON SAINT OF THE FIREFIGHTERS IN EVERY PART OF EUROPE. HE’S PAINTED ON EVERY BUILDING IN EVERY EUROPE, BECAUSE THAT’S THE LAW!
AND NO, THAT’S NO INUIT. THAT’S HOW THE FIREFIGHTERS IN EUROPE LOOK LIKE. DO YOUR RESEARCH, MAN!
Can’t speak for others but my post wasn’t visible immediatly because it needed mod approval. By the time it was approved others posted who it was as well. My bet is it was something similar with other posts explaining who this is as well, hence several people posting basically same thing.
Who is Brad Neely, and may I have his children? (The runner-up is Saint Florian)
Who’s the tall water guy with the spear?
Brad Neely. Obv.
I agree it looks like Neely’s work. Kinda makes me want to get a Baby Cakes or Professor Brothers tat. Then again, I’d probably end up on here.
But I’d like to point out, because I don’t think it’s been mentioned yet, that that’s supposed to be St Florian, the European patron saint of firefighters…heehee (couldn’t resist, everyone was doing it)
You guys rock xD
He better hurry and put out that fire or he’s gonna burn his dress clean off.
Washington, Washington.
I think that’s the English flag (St. George’s Cross).
