I've noticed a lot of really cool tatoos on guys in mma, Kid Yamamoto's robotic arm is the latest one-deadly, very unique

Belchers one is so Shit! I love Johnny Cash but seriously when I saw it I didnt know who it was supposed to be.. not a good thing for a portrait tattoo!!

Agree Kid's tattoo is one of the coolest ive ever seen, Since my arms are covered I was thinking about doing something similar on one of my legs.



Monson looks to have got a few more tattoos...



Aleks also got some new Ink on his chest



Joe Rogans new Tattoo is awsome.... I like the weed leaves!!

Would be cool to see Kid knock someone out with his robotic arm

Ben, If you do any type of kickboxing, head kick with the robotic leg

even if you dont-it'd a very cool tatoo

I think Sakara's are cool they work well as he is Italian the Legionarious thing works well



Junie Browning has to have one of the worst tattoos...



Aye I do a bit of MMA, Ive love and hate on my toes I like to Kick people with "Hate" lol! Ive a lot of Tats myself... The Robot Arm is so cool... I like Aleks Grim Reeper holding a babay.. not my style but on him its just bad ass!

Wait... Shittest Tattoo in MMA... Sorry Big Foot but who ever did this shit tattoo I hope you KO'd!!

Didnt post... just copy this into the adress bar and have a laugh at Bigfoots Tattoo!!

I mean, Neo-Nazi shite is never acceptable, and Palm trees coming out of your shorts? That's also just plain wrong.

At least he is honest.....

This is awful

I always thought Babalu's tribal/flames looked pretty cool. GSP and Fitch's pec tattoos are kind of stylish as well...

Worst ever goes to Timmeh for his awful attempt at tribal, even Brock's cock is better than that.

Chris Leben looks terrible.

Hadn't seen Rogan's arm before but that looks pretty nicely done as well.

Theres Babalus arm.. I like the script on his chest too thats a cool tattoo..

Jamie Varners tattoos are cool... so cool I copied them!!



A really shit tattoo is Buzz Berry... Cage Rage on either arm... Cool... Even cooler now cage rage has gone under, Nice one!

Really you cant beat Kids Robot arm It has to be the coolest!

Yeah it's a shame because Buzz's other arm work looks ok....

I copied Shogun's inner bicep tats, that way you can get away with a short sleeved shirt at work and then just bust them out in the evening.

I'd love to get a full sleeve and some flames up my neck like Clooney in Dusk Till Dawn, but I'd have to wear long sleeved shirts at work to cover it and I can't stand long sleeves!!

Any pics of your own arms Ben?

Paolo dont have a digital Camera at home but Ill get a few pics posted when I get a hold of one sure. my Tattoos are..

Nauticals stars as above!

RUDEBOY written in old english writing around my stomach

"Love" and "Hate" written on my toes (the same writing people get on their fingers)

A celtic cross on my right upper arm

3 Black Bands/stripes going round my left wrist

on my inner left tricept ive a deck of cards with an ace of spades showing 1st and dice with fancy sorta curly writing "Born Lucky"

on the outter left arm my 1st tattoo I got was the Misfits skull (used to be a full on Punk Rocker Mohawk and all!!)

I got a bigger skull with Crossbones with an 8 Ball for an eye and the Misfits skull is now breaking out of its head.. around the skull there is spiderweb designs that goes up to my shoulder

I just finished my left arm by making it into a half sleeve with Smoke/flame Effect shading going into stars at the top and Japanese Flowers in the gaps... Its a real nice half sleeve now some good artwork.. goes from my elbow to just over my shoulder on to my back and chest a little bit.. The Flowers look awsome and make having skulls on my arm less Gothy! lol! I think they balance it out well... The smoke/Flames shading is awsome it almost looks like waves at the bottom and Fire at the top... hard to explain but looks the ticket.

Yes I know some very cheesy tattoos but that me!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im going to rey rays of light coming out of the cross, like the japanese flag sort of, the rays being skin colour and all around it being shading if you can imagine...

Im also booked in to get Praying hands holding rosary beads and my Sons D.O.B below it on my shoulderblade as my back is bare!

And last one I want is a Robot Leg like Kid's but in Black/White/Grey like the rest of my tats...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any Pics of your own? Is the the same design as Shogun on your arm or you just mean the same place? The Dusk till dawn tattoo is really cool but when that movie came out there were a lot of people who coppied it!

So you're a proper painted man then mate! I can't compete with that!....

I don't have the same designs as Shogun, just the same position inside the biceps, basically I can only have tats that I can hide with a normal short sleeved shirt at work. I've got an Ironman triathlon 'm-dot' logo design on my left arm, surrounded by flames shaded in grey. I really wanted to take the flames all the way up the neck like Clooney, but like you said that tattoo got copied a lot and in the end I just left it...
On the right arm I've got a heart rate trace like you see on the screen in hospital when someone's getting resuscitated, except the front of it shows the line being pulled along by an old shool round cannonball exploding.
My left foot is entirely coloured as if I've stepped in petrol and I've got blue flames creeping up my ankle up to sock height (yep, there's a flame theme going on!)
I'd love to get the inside of my forearms done in script as well. Wand's kind of thing would suit me, maybe when I retire!

Cool I think the flames up from the foot sounds really original.. Especially when you Kick people with it! I though Rogan having Canabis leaves on his arm was funny! I bet he is in the same Boat as you... Dana probabally told him keep that shit covered up at work!

Yeah Wandys script on his arms would look good, His head Tattoo is crazy!



I like the script on his shoulder as well...



not sure what any of it means though!!

I think shoguns are cool too

Cheers for the replies-I'm considering getting a/some tatoos myself-some great ideas in the pics

if ya'v anymore keep em comin

Getting myslef a nice left arm sleeve drawn up this week can't wait to get it inked... you boys got any ink?

That must of killed, beautiful though! Any of you guys got stuff down your ribs (under the arms)? Looking to have some work done there but I am a puss! I can never believe peolple who say it doesn't hurt anyway, as in my experience it really does! I don't know anyone with work in this area, but have heard you can't draw breath?
Might be absolute bollocks, but thought I'd ask, cheers.

I've got a few tattooists as mates and they all say that getting your ribs done is the most painful place.

I've got three,one on the top of each of my left and right arms and one covering my right calf(that one hurt like a bitch,my calf swelled up badly and I struggled walking properly on it for about a week)

As I thought, I'll get the courage from somewhere! I will say, if you regulars lose your AV bets and signatures at the same time, I'll be proper fucked Managed to cope with the last round, but logging on today was puzzling!

Sorest spots to get tattooed are your groin, the backs of your knees and your armpits.

Got a fair bit of ink myself.

Right shoulder (Celtic work) and forearm (Dragon), left arm abstract black (pretty much 80% of my sleeve), Stomach (Graffiti artwork, from navel to pecs), both thighs (again solid black abstract art). All of them self-designed and again, I'm one of the fortunate few that can count several tattooists as close friends.

With regards to pain, it's pretty much a personal thing, I found the inside of the upper arms to be the most painful (including ribs).
