Conan McGregor

The tiger on his belly and his own name along his diaphragm are understandable. But what's that scary beast on Conan's chest? Simple: it's the logo of McGregor's SBG gym in Ireland. Conan is not only morbidly vain, but also very greedy, and if turning his own body into a billboard will bring a hundred or two thousand dollars, he won't hesitate.
MMA Fighter Tattoos: Meaningful, Colorful, and Fun
Since ancient times, tattoos served not only as decoration, but also as a distinctive sign of the tribe, family, social affiliation. And today they have become a popular way of self-expression. For many, the tattoo is not just a pretty picture, the wearer puts a certain meaning into it.
It so happens that many MMA fighters have tattoos. So what do they mean to their owners?
Conor McGregor tattoos
It's very hard not to notice the face of a tiger on the belly of the former champion of the two UFC divisions. According to the fighter, getting this tattoo was an impulsive decision made in Venice. But Conor has no regrets about it, because he loves these animals and believes that they symbolize masculinity for him.
Another notable tattoo McGregor has tattooed along his diaphragm is his own name. And the obscure animal on his chest is the logo of SBG gym in Ireland, which the fighter owns. What does that tell us? Conor is a businessman to the core and he would even use his own body as a billboard to be successful.
Cody Garbrandt's body blast
Cody probably spends as much time at the tattoo parlor as he does at the gym. He has tattoos of all styles and sizes on his body. There are, wings, skulls, some inscriptions, which, apparently, make sense only for their owner, Japanese waves, etc. The fighter does not think much about how they fit together.
But here's a tattoo that fans understand and serves as a deterrent to Cody's potential opponents - it's a grenade on his fist. It directly screams of Garbrandt throwing explosions at his opponents in the octagon.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Chris Cyborg
Kris has always been known for her perfect physique. And to emphasize her beauty and personality this female fighter loves tattoos. She has a total of 12 of them. The most prominent tattoo is a large Chinese dragon on her back. Later, three flowers in red, green and pink were added to it. She also has a butterfly with an eye on the back of her neck. The dragon engraved on the cyborg's back is a symbol of protection, success and wisdom.
The second tattoo is the Magic Potion Bottles. It is located on the left side of the bikini line. These bottles have a strange meaning - they are the stuff of witches.
On the outside of his left leg is a tattoo of a badge that reads "SRUTE BOXE CYBORG". Meaning: Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand, also known as the art of the eight limbs, which includes the use of fists, elbows, shins and knees. Muay means fighting. Perhaps these are the most interesting tattoos on Sayborg's body, the others are religious in nature.
Sean O'Malley: power and freedom
Of course, a UFC fighter as epathetic as Sean O'Malley could have had a more creative tattoo. But what it is. Namely, an eagle on his chest. But the meaning of the tattoo suits the defiant Millennial, who is able to piss off his opponents with just posts on social media. Eagle tattoos are associated with dominance, power, strength, courage, spiritual power, sharpness and grace.
Darren Till explained O'Malley's overcoming and set him on a championship path
By the way, according to Sean, eight hours of tattooing is enough to train the will.
A couple of questions about the Kane Velasquez tattoo
When Kane Velasquez tattooed "Brown pride" on his chest, he didn't think it would raise questions from the public. For example, was he racist by any chance? But in an interview, Kane Velasquez reassured people by telling them what was behind the words.
It turned out that he got this tattoo for two quite innocent reasons. First, he expressed gratitude to his parents, who had to go through a lot when they moved to the United States. During the fighter's youth, the words "Brown pride" meant: "Mexican pride." So Kane was proud of his people. And the fighter also wanted to show everyone that he was a Mexican who could go pro.
Tattoos of one of the sexiest female fighters in the world
Anastasia Yankova, who competed under the auspices of Bellator and can be said to have become the face of women's MMA, also decorates her body with tattoos.
The girl believes that the most important thing for her is a carp climbing a waterfall. According to legend, when it reaches its goal, it will evolve into a dragon. The meaning of this tattoo: devotion to the chosen path. Interestingly, Anastasia Yankova decided to get this tattoo after her first loss in the professional ring.
Anastasia Yankova also has a lotus tattoo, but without any special meaning, just for beauty. There is a picture of a dragon-girl on her arm.
Cub Swanson: obsessed with himself
This UFC fighter is known for being obsessed with himself. He has 20 tattoos on his body and many of them depict Cub himself. For example, 'Cartoon Baby Killer'. That's how the fighter dubbed this tattoo on his Instagram. It depicts his own animated character along with the words "killer" and "cub" written in ink above and below the tattoo, respectively.
Swanson also has a "Palms" tattoo on his lower abdomen. He got it to show Palm Springs, his birthplace. But that apparently didn't seem enough to him, so on top, across his chest, he also inscribed the words "So Cal" from "Southern California." For Cubs, that means "home is where his heart is." From Swanson's tattoos, we can conclude that he loves himself and his birthplace very much.
Good son and father Anthony Pettis.
The former UFC lightweight champion entered the octagon with a very touching tattoo. On his chest were the faces of his mother and daughter. It's hard to go wrong with the meaning of this tattoo.
T.J. Dillashaw "snakehead."
This is one case where the nickname literally stuck. So how did Dillashaw get it? Thanks to Conor McGregor for that. It's worth noting that the Irishman wasn't trying to hurt T.J. so much as he was trying to hurt his opponent, Juraj Faber. At TUF22, the former two-division UFC champion reminded, Faber of how he was betrayed by a teammate. Dillashaw left Juraya with one of his coaches.
T.J. was later called a "snake" by Cody Garbrandt as well. The fighter, apparently, accepted this nickname and got a corresponding tattoo. Whether the nickname meant strength or weakness is an open question.
Warrior's tattoo of heavyweight Alexander Volkov
UFC fighter Alexander Volkov has a very intimidating tattoo on his broad back. It overlapped an oddly executed bat. The new drawing is made in the Japanese style. The work took about 55 hours and it's not over yet. What meaning this tattoo carries for Volkov is a mystery.
Tattoos of MMA fighters can be profound, beautiful or just plain funny. But they always catch the eye because they tell their owner's story and reveal character .
Cody Garbrandt

This stalwart man paints himself with tattoos regularly, not caring in the slightest about how they fit together. Japanese-style waves on his chest, quite European cherubs drowning in them, puzzle pieces, wings, skulls, a few nonsensical inscriptions, and crowned by the semblance of a high Spanish collar around his neck. Cody, you look like a draft!
Kane Velasquez.

The "Brown Pride" inscription on Velasquez's chest has been talked about a lot by fight fans and defenders of the rights of people of color alike. But they never decided if it was racist. Because nobody understood what the fighter meant. And apparently, no one dared to ask the man with the cannon kick directly. So he walks around cryptic.
Cub Swanson.

It feels like Swanson started making a big tattoo composition, but ran out of money in the middle of the work. No one knows the meaning of SO CAL on his chest. Also, no one has any idea what it has to do with the palm trees that groovily grow right out of his pants. Cub, finish up, don't stall, show me the plan!
Women Kyokushin Tattoo
Women's Kyokushin Tattoos
From an interview with World Champion Elena Vorobyeva. "A tattoo carries only one meaning - belonging to Kyokushin, belonging to those who seek the absolute truth. Getting a tattoo had a very deep symbolic meaning for me. The tattoo, as a thing that cannot be removed, symbolizes that moment in the Path when there is no going back."
Melvin Costa

Melvin Costa never hid his nationalist views, tattooing a large swastika and a German eagle on his chest. The tattoo was criticized more than once, but Melvin ignored it. The funny thing is that he has something else entirely tattooed around his belly button, namely, "I have a small penis. Which makes you wonder about the origins of his dislike for the non-white-skinned part of humanity.
Popular warrior tattoo designs
What are the sketches of tattoo warriors most often requested in the salons?
- Tattoo Viking. Ancient Scandinavian sailors with long hair and beards, dressed in armor with thrown over the animal skins and horned helmets. In battle they showed fearlessness up to the point of recklessness. These warriors wanted to be in heaven, and to get there could only those who died in battle, so the Vikings never ran away from the battlefield.
- Tattoo bogatyr. Tribute to the traditions of the ancient Russians. One of the in-demand sketches is the great trinity. Ilya Muromets, Dobrynia Nikitich and Alyosha Popovich represent the unity of the Russian people. And for men, such a tattoo also serves as a symbol of power and remarkable strength. There is another famous trinity - Gorynya, Dubynya and Usynya. They are giants from Russian fairy tales, possessing superhuman strength. According to legends, the bogatyrs wanted to get into the prince's service. So their image is also associated with honor, loyalty.
- Tattoo of a gladiator. In ancient Rome, the image of this hero was associated not only with fearlessness, but also with tempers, desperation. After all, this fighter from slaves or prisoners of war had to compete in the circus arena with another warrior or wild beast.
- Tattoo samurai. Representatives of the privileged military-feudal caste in the Land of the Rising Sun were not only soldiers, but also bodyguards of their masters, at the same time serving them in everyday life. Japanese samurai epitomize courage, endurance, steadiness and loyalty to duty.
- Tattoo Indian. Red-skinned warriors represent unity with nature, wisdom, fearlessness, super-consciousness, shamanism and oppression. Some combine the image of an Indian with the image of some animal, demonstrating their connection with him.
- Tattoo of a knight. These warriors serve as a symbol of valor, nobility, romance and selflessness. Depict them in distinctive armor, with full battle armor.
- Tattoo angel-warrior. One of the favorite designs of the fair sex. This tattoo reflects the fragility of the girl, not belittling at the same time her ability to fight for good and justice, to assert their rights. Such masterpieces of body painting not only have a sacred meaning, but also emphasize the sophistication of the female figure.
Maurizio "Shogun" Rua

Once again, a mixture of styles! Rua has a samurai tattooed on his right hand and a godmother tattooed on his left. The trick is that both are practically under the fighter's arms, and when they are only partially or glimpsed (that is, almost always), the uninitiated person gets the impression that Rua suffers from some kind of skin disease. Not aesthetically pleasing!
Brock Lesnar

The raised sword tattooed on his chest has been the cause of a lot of ridicule for the heavyweight champion. First of all, its blade is pointed straight down the wearer's throat, suggesting an accident. The second, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about, is that everyone is talking about it! - The sword looks like an erect penis. And Brock was warned, wasn't he? But he seems to like it.
School hieroglyph tattoos
The most popular Kekushin tattoo was and still is Kanji. The collapse of kekushin and the change of names entailed new forms of kanji writing, so take the time to try on a hieroglyph of the organization... THINK! Rarely used places to place a kanji kyokushinkai karate tattoo.

"Epistle to Philippians 4:13," a Bible reference on the chest of a former champion that has had more than one mixed martial arts aficionado poking around the Book. "I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me" is what this verse says. But biblical quotations on the chest of a pro in Mixed Martial Arts is, by any stretch of the imagination, the ultimate vulgarity.
Jeff Monson
The American mixed martial arts fighter nicknamed "The Snowman" has almost no loose ends on his body. Jeff has over twenty tattoos. About Monson's tattoos can be written a separate article. Here, we will limit ourselves to Russian-themed variants. On the arm of the athlete the words "freedom" and "solidarity" are clearly visible. The most recent tattoo Monson made on his thigh. When choosing a drawing, Jeff did not consider the classic tattoo designs of fighters. The athlete took our famous Volgograd sculpture "Mother Motherland" as the basis.

Wanderlei Silva hails from Brazil. After moving to the U.S., he opened his Wand Fight Team gym in Vegas - and immediately tattooed its logo on his right shoulder. Such commerce in itself is funny, but if you consider that the logo looks like a portrait of Lenin with Cheburashka's ears, it looks even more comical.
