A controversial tattoo

A small tattoo on the crotch of Spanish candidate Desiré Cordero caught the world's attention in 2014. It was a tattoo in the form of the symbol Om, one of the most sacred mantras of the dharma religions.

Cordero competed in the Miss Universe pageant with a small exposed tattoo on her upper right thigh.

Here is a clearer picture of her art piece.

While it doesn't look like any 2015 Miss Universe contestants have tattoos, here's hoping someone surprises us tonight.

Shortly after Vail’s brave tattoo-exposed bikini walk, Miss Spain 2014 Desire Cordero was the first ever Miss Universe pageant contestant to expose a tattoo on stage. When the swimsuit portion of the pageant came around, Cordero strutted her stuff in a bright pink bikini and exposed a small tat on her upper right thigh. Cordero proved that being true to yourself can only help you in the pageant circuit as she landed a spot in the top 10 of the event.

While tattoos may not be the most traditional accessory on the pageant circuit, women like Vail and Cordero are paving the way for these individualistic art pieces.

A mysterious resignation

Something similar happened in 1974, when the Spanish Miss Universe Amparo Muñoz Quesada resigned a few months after being crowned. The reasons have always been up to speculation. The queen was not replaced that year.
