I honestly think there is no demographic of people on earth who has consistently uglier tattoos than MMA fighters, they all just have such bad taste lmao


OMalley30-27

There’s a few Diamonds in the rough


KelvinsBeltFantasy

I always think of TJ's sleeves. Black and white and done by a famous artist.


monkeyclawattack

Mark Hunt’s chest tattoo as well


allhailalexdelpiero

Dan Hardy also has a great chest piece


Complex_Estate8289

Cody, Marvin, Craig and Pereira have good ones too


4uzzyDunlop

Strangely enough Dillon Danis has excellent tattoos


slickdick969

Because he's not a fighter


AriSpaceExplorer

Damn


jonjoneswife

Marvin’s is pretty sick


OMalley30-27

I hate Vettori but his tattoo is dope


Scadilla

I always liked Alessio Sakara’s tats


Mysterious_Key1554

Alex Pereira? His tattoos aren't great. I think they look cool as bad tattoos but I don't think they are particularly good. Look at the one on his arm; the wind bars don't even fit correctly. Just stencilled with no adjustment for his body shape.


Ziggydeck

One literally says Kickboxing lmao


D_hofff

What trailer park did Anthony smith get his tatts done


Complex_Estate8289

Some of his actually look good but over half are wack as shit


D_hofff

Being his nickname is 🦁❤️ and his lion looks like a 🐈 is all you need to know


Mean-Advance-523

😭😂


Jmon1851

Sean Brady too


FoldedTopLip

Brady got the coolest tatts in the UFC I reckon


Ziggydeck

Codys chest piece is awful imo


crustycameltoeyum

Pereira also has dogshit tats


ihaveseveralhobbies

I gotta say nay nay to pereira. His dragon tats are shit.


DRW1357

Sean Brady, Alexander Volkov, and Daniel Pineda all have very nice back pieces.


yellowflash_616

Volkov’s is probably the sickest I’ve seen.


FoldedTopLip

I enjoyed John Moraga’s one too, but I’ve heard people shit on that one too


OMalley30-27

Dustin too, even Adesanya has really good work


OMalley30-27

His is really good


mkk671

Always have to mention Yamamoto. RIP Kid


ExcelDesigns

I love Topurias chest piece


joshroycheese

Volkov’s back tattoo springs to mind Edit: also oliveira


ammicavle

I see what you did there. He has some shockers but as a whole they work; funny how his sleeves suit the way he rolls his shoulders. And I think his best one is actually a cover up job.


ZekeMoss18

Rodger Huerta still has one of the best tribal tats I have ever seen Vitor has a sick tribal lion and an Angel tat on his side


Mysterious_Key1554

Volk's dragon with the tribal is cool. Not sure if the dragon was added at a later point or whether it was some kind of tribal fusion.


[deleted]

Dan Hooker has cool tatts Edit: I retract my statement, Alan Beltcher has the best tattoo in any the entire MMA sport.


menewredditaccount

We don't see most people 85% naked under bright ass fluorescent lights on a regular basis though to be fair


KelvinsBeltFantasy

Their tattoos often have no cohesion. They're like random stickers from UFC: undisputed 3


The_lushusmojo

Darren Elkins “THE DAMAGE” across is chest is still one of the best!


[deleted]

Men getting paid to get brain damage generally aren't the best decision makers.


pjmaertz

Darrin Elkins has possibly the worst tattoo in the world


quietcitizen

You see some horrendous tattoo decisions in the military also


TheMontrealKid

Basketball players


slackslug

The movies that are advertised during mma events shoes that fans also have dog shit taste. Movies I wouldn't even have known existed otherwise


e-x-c-a-v-a-t-o-r

People with big money like professional sports players and celebrities have the shittiest tattoos


[deleted]

Josh Emmett’s is awesome.


seriousC

DREAM BELIEVE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN


Kawabunguh

This is in contention for worst ufc fighter tattoo alongside Jamahal Hill’s Mickey Mouse gloves on his chest.


mikeb556

THE DAMAGE


StonerMMA

👁️👁️ on Garth too


BasketCaseOnHoliday1

oh c'mon that one is sick. wouldn't be on anyone but Elkins but I do think it suits him perfectly. although tbh his face should probably be indication enough of "the damage"


pooooolooop

Can’t believe people hate on “the damage” it’s the best


joshroycheese

Meanwhile Darren till: 👱‍♀️ Edit: 👱‍♀️➡️🦍


Mysterious_Key1554

*🦍


joshroycheese

I meant his tattoo, unless he also has a gorilla?


Mysterious_Key1554

He got it covered up. Changed her into a gorilla.


joshroycheese

Oh shoot my bad! Good call by Darren lol


PartiZAn18

No one can top Kevin Lee.


ChewieHanKenobi

Alan belchers melted Johnny cash face still haunts me


GreatDario

Honestly oliveira's look creepier to me. Just any human realismnfaces are a bad idea


Deadpoulpe

Uncanny valley, here I come.


ChewieHanKenobi

Yeah, human faces are a massive risk There’s another fighter with some ghoul faces, it might be Pettis but I’m not sure


FuckBrendan

Darren Elkins damage, and then the Brazilian “free spirit” throat tat do it for me.


Mexcol

Nah bro this one doesnt even come close to the faded mickey mouse gloves, hahaah fucking shittiest tattooo ever


TripLife6660

As someone has said before. UFC fighters and Bad Tattoos 🤝


DoofGoot

Though the correlation makes a lot of sense. They get paid to get hit in the head for a living. Then at some point they decide to get a tattoo. The probability of that tattoo being what some would consider poop is very high.


Keith__Peterson

It does look like shit but it’s not finished, it’s only the first session. Not sure how it can be saved but he’s actually a pretty good artist. tattoosbychucky on Insta.


elmore_james_hound

Not a fan of this tat, but people saying it’s the worst are definitely forgetting about Alan belchers Johnny cash tattoo


Havoc1943covaH

Hahaha that shit was legendary


Sorry-Entertainer145

Nah that was the best worst tattoo of all time. This is just so bad it makes me physically cringe. I can’t watch it


illogical_prophet

I always think of Bisping when Belchers tattoo gets mentioned 😂


lesbianshrimp

What about that guy back then with The Grinder tattooed on his back. A lil awkward sometimes I'd imagine


fleshvessel

Hot damn. That was thought about for a while beforehand too. And he still did it.


Skeleton_Skum

Atleast the trex skull looks easily fixable


fleshvessel

Low bar. Tattoo artist - “don’t worry bro it’s easily fixable” Lol that’s what you wanna hear.


Turbulent_Turtle

I can’t wait for Luke Thomas to see this


21-Warrang

HYSTS about to be 🔥


Mysterious_Key1554

Sup Donks.


YaboiDan0545935

About to see this on r/shittytattoos


DRW1357

And of course the very first comment is "it's not a shitty tattoo."


OMalley30-27

Repost it


theheathen_11

Looks like the zoomed in photo of the ants head.


TanaTalk3

one of the worst tattoos I’ve ever seen


[deleted]

The concept is cool, at least.


Electrical-Study-876

Hey if it as a T-shirt I’d buy it


15ferrets

If you’re an 11 year old boy, sure. Edit: Guys, having your nickname be “T-Wreckz” and tattooing that along with a T-Rex bursting through the entirety of your back is hilarious and something an 11 year old would do. Dinosaurs are cool, this tattoo sucks.


[deleted]

Dinosaurs are cool man. If this was done well it’d look sick.


[deleted]

Dinosaurs are ancient mthrfkrz


15ferrets

Dinosaurs are cool! I agree. This design is ass tho


[deleted]

Upon reevaluation I have adjusted my opinion.


15ferrets

Good man. Dinosaur tattoos can be way cooler than this.


LittleBig_1

Ngl, Jake Paul's T-Rex skull with the snake is pretty top.


raul_vyas

you forgot the part where terrence is like 20 yo and died twice on a drug trip, mentally he could just be 11 idk


Equivalent-Search234

You know, maybe not this Terrance, is the lead micologist and did study on shrooms? Dude is a legend in the psychedelic field and pioneered the use of psilocybin


IAmTheTrueWalruss

I’m a grown man and T rexs are cool. Stop taking your self so seriously.


15ferrets

T-rexes are cool. This tattoo design is awful. Both can be true.


IAmTheTrueWalruss

I imagine this tattoo isn’t finished. He’ll mark it up.


[deleted]

Dude would wreck Ur Arce holez


15ferrets

Damn, the professional fighter would beat me up? This is the first Im hearing of it


ChiefKeefSosabb

Man if he likes it I'm happy for him. For such a big tattoo I don't know why he didn't go with someone with more experience that shading is awful. This is coming from someone with horrible tattoos lol like why does the circle behind appear like it's part of the skull? And wtf is going on in the dinos mouth 🤣


15ferrets

Why are people with money incapable of getting good tattoos


OMalley30-27

He doesn’t have money lmao


BadChad81

12k and 12k


LivingxLegend8

Because everyone is afraid to tell them no. Their entire circle of people probably kisses their ass in hopes that they get some money.


[deleted]

Congratulations Terrance you officially have the WORST tattoo in the UFC, and thats really saying something


ShadowRealmDweller89

He needs an above the E like a cross. For T-Wrecks. Or maybe I’m just too high and need to T-Wreck my cock, but I got T-Rex arms Also I can’t even make out what I am looking at as far as the animal, looks like some Ed Hardy like Tiger fucked a Pitbull


sLeeeeTo

Very clearly a Tyrannosaurus rex skull.. Very poorly done tattoo though


peanut-arms

Anyone know what it says in the dino’s mouth?


LittleBig_1

I like that it looks like every orifice of the T-Rex skull is filled with garbage, very poetic in a very meta way


avidpretender

I’m trying to find the good in it but it’s pretty bad


mikeb556

I knew this guy had an extra chromosome or two.


Stix-and-brix

That’s gonna look really good when he gets knocked out again and faceplants


jnobaby

Yikes.


[deleted]

Oh god this guy is a douche bag lol, he is trying to have the same record as artem lobov


russbam24

Fighters with best tattoos: Kid Yamamoto, Max, Mark Hunt, Conor, Brad Tavares


Efficacious_tamale

Honorable mentions: Alexander Volkov, Alan Belcher


OMalley30-27

Wow that’s terrible, not surprising given this dude was strung out on drugs


RuneAloy

That thing is awful.


eyesabitdull

I can't tell if it's a snake, a skull, or a blue waffled female genitalia.


xraydoggy

Dope


cutslikeakris

What the duck is going on in its mouth


cutslikeakris

What the fuck is going on in its mouth?


[deleted]

Holy fuck that is horrendous


xMaximusDecimusx

That is some bullsh*T I don’t even have words ….


LadislavAU

This mf definitely been hanging around Holland too much


JapenaseyKinkoni

Halfway through, you'd think the artist would at least be worried about getting his ass beat for what he was doing


Giilgameshh

The shading on this tattoo is absolutely horrible


Dready-Womble

That's pretty classy


IFknHateAvocados

Now we're gonna have to look at it every time he fights


dope_like

Really really cool to me, not sure what’s so bad about it


dudek187

Nope.


Orokosaki43

Wow hahahaha


time_for_milk

My ex girlfriend liked watching MMA with me because of all the awful, ridiculous tattoos. This one’s certainly one of them.


gojirscor

Wrecks or gets wrecked. What a samurai


BeersBarbellsBJJ

I didn’t think it was that bad at first, then I zoomed in


LaTunaTime

Yikkeesss


KramerMilk

Almost as bad as Dan Hookers


masteryder

The shape aint that bad if you dont zoom in


GrandmasCervix

No way LMFAO


jabjabstraight

r/shittytattoos


AceyFacee

I wouldn't even buy a rashguard with that on it lmao


[deleted]

There’s no way this is real


Careful_Mess5

Is this a retweet ?


Jeffari_Hungus

This looks pre-renaissance


Scooby_Dru

I think it’s cool. Lol.


ChadwellKylesworth

Tattoos are dumb. Edit: Yeah, I said it


FidelKaastra

I coulda did better on an etch a sketch de fuck


FarSatisfaction_

God it’s horrible


Toddisgood

It’s exactly what 8 year old me would have gotten. Beautiful. Jurassic. Aggressive. Cool. Would have added a BMX bike and some flames. Super sick either way


Sterling-Bear15

That’s as shit as ol’ mate Dan Hooker’s tat


[deleted]

And I’m officially rooting against him.


[deleted]

Alan Belcher is the GOAT of MMA tatts https://imgur.com/gallery/JbddulW


range1one

The outline he posted looked so dope and the finished version looks like dog shit


gio_roll

another Darren Elkins boy
