A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    I think it looks fun. Nay to all the nay-sayers who want to know about lines and shading. We’re not all artists, a lot of us get tattoos because they look good to us, not because they’ve been critiqued by someone with an art degree.

    And Chelsea – he has other tattoo pics on his myspace, I’d assume his fighting status makes it wise to not have an piercings.

    to lizard man- they can barely afford to live then they get tattoos? sorry no sympathy for you then, if your not willing to put your money into training (i.e. a gym etc) but you can pay for tattoos then you can’t love a sport that much, as a mod i dont like it, but if the bearer of it is happy power to them, considering their situation can turn it into a dumbass mod for their position

    he’s no lizardman, that’s for sure…

    judging by the stuff on this guy’s Myspace page, he’s barely literate, appears to be a total dumb-bum IRL based on his video interviews, has no other public tattoos or work, and has no connection with an existing dojo and no MMA job or trainer position or experience to fall back on or rely on for the future, and seems to be PRAYING that this crazy tattoo will open some doors for him or get him on a TV show. Too bad he’s the epitome of boring and uncharismatic.

    Dude’s bitten off waaaaayyyyy more than he can chew and I’m 110% sure he’s going to live to regret this decision bigtime.

    Rehan – you do know that people will often do tattoos for people they like at deep discounts or even free in trade for publciity (hoping to bank on his future success) don’t you?. Have you considered that the artist may be a supporter / sponsor? Hell, I have seen artists do very involved pieces for free just because they loved the idea.

    Lizardman is right….I haven’t paid for a tattoo in a long time, and I’m sure he hasn’t either….haha….but that doesn’t make it any better of an idea….

    Hell, I’m not even famous and I get cheap/free tattoos. Hanging around a shop and doing food runs and other errands for busy artists can pay off.

    I’m sure if he ever needs to “get a real job” he can cover the tattoo with make-up like so many other people do.

    he will make the tattoo work for him whether people think its stupid or not. Its apart of him but its important to look past that and see him for who he really is. if anytjimg the ink will make him more concious(even if he does regret it ) of judgmental preicks and hopefi\ully keep him humble like my septum does for me.
    when I or anyone with extrem mods reach a certain age…. we will be greatful to just have our minds, bowel control and loving relationships. who is prettty enough to care about there physical appearance like that at that age.
    People may think he should grow up but those same people judging them need to reevauate themselves and what there energy is going towards. the persons son that judged Davis so harshy should have used that as a learning experience
    “I am a reflection of you”. people should rememeber that.

    Hmm. Take a picture when it’s finished. It has potential to look amazing (ie: full mouth, and if he’s daring, his whole head) but at the moment I’m not keen.. It just looks half finished is all.. I mean, even if he covered half his face in his dinosauresque tatt and had it BLEND into a human side would look better..

    #1 yes it’s really me the guy in the tattoo, I just stumbled across this old forum about me and wanted to send a response #2 Thank you very much for the support and correcting the haters Lizard Man. Very well said!!! It was very nice to have meet you at the convention years ago in ABQ. #3 I purposely only did one side. Reason being. Everyone has a nice side and a evil/mean side. I don’t hide who I am, So the simplicty of the tattoo is I let my evil side show, and what is a more evil symbol to me than some mean ass teeth on one side my face. #4 The tattoo was part of a sponsorship from Mario Seddillo from Mijos New Image Tattoo in Albuquerque NM, I did not pay a penny for it, as all my money was spent into my training, and housing. When there is a lack of fights, there is a lack of money, and times get hard. But you have to constanlty be training and be ready, waiting for that call for a fight. It takes true commitment, and lots of travel and veriaty in training and gyms. I have gone weeks without eating, slept in parks, postoffices, walked 80+ miles home after a fight, Hitchhiked from New Mexico to Chicago for a fight, not to mention all the heartaches, and lost friendships and relationships. All to pursue a dream that fully makes me happy. It takes a strong will and dedication to do what I do, and to get any success out of it. I now run my own gym in Washington State and have for 2 years. Called Under Ground Mixed Martial Arts Academy.
