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.

    This seems to be all well in fine when hes being intimidating in the ring. but how could you possibly get tender in bed, and gently caress the cheek of a tattoo like that before a kiss!

    buzzkill!!

    Never mind “it will look stupid when he’s older”, it looks fucking stupid now. It looks like face paint. Its an immature idea, and it looks like crap. How can you take a guy like that seriously?

    Rich: The same way you take anyone else that gets any tattoo seriously.
    The teeth look a bit strange to me, but if it’s what he wanted then cool, if it’s not then teeth are relatively easy to fix up 🙂

    Molars are typically found at the back of the mouth, not incisors.

    Mr. Viking, you must have enormous balls, kudos for getting what you want. Love the idea, but I do have to agree with some that it could have been done better. I don’t understand why that heavy outline along the jawline is there. It makes the tattoo seem like a mask. Was this the intention? Also the teeth pop out a lot more than the rest of the tattoo, I think it’s because of the lack of modeling on them. Perhaps a picture of it healed?

    If it’s a first step to a life-time commitment of body modification, a’ la lizardman, then it’s great.

    If it’s a one-time tattoo meant to “intimidate” other fighters or just to “look cool” it’s the stupidest thing EVER.

    It’s not like he’s a badass professional MMA fighter, he’s just some guy doing it as a hobby.

    did you see his myspace blog about needing a couch to stay on, a gym to train at for free, and a job?

    This facial tattoo really compliments the mitsubishi logo he has tattooed on his chest.

    Bit late jumping in here, but in response to post #42 – Ivan, not doubting the logic of your sprogs here, but honestly, how on earth is a tattoo like this supposed to “look real”?

    Halloween is coming up. I think I’ll answer the door this year and tell all the children that their costumes don’t look real. Spoil all the fun.

    To ronnie rotten – on the subject of looking for places to stay, train, and some work in his blog:

    Do you have any idea at all what most fighters go through, the training is not only intense and difficult but a full time pursuit. Many are forced to dig themselves into a pit of debt with little hope of getting out of it unless they win a belt. Fighters you see on tv regularly are often living just above or below poverty because they commit their lives entirely to a love of the sport. It isn’t surprising that fighters often extend this commitment to modifying their bodies (in this case he went further than most by tattooing his face). Instead of attempting (poorly) to mock his efforts to cover the basic necessities while devoting himself to such a difficult endeavor you should be pitying yourself for not having the same drive and strength of will
