Not to mention all the other 25 something pieces. She also has a hummingbird on her neck that she has said represents the message that “Life moves on, and you should always look to the future”. “I fell in love with the independent Betty Boop and how she carried herself, but most of all, I fell in love with the moments and memories I’ll always have and hold on to with my mom.”įurthermore, she has a skull on the inside of her right lower arm, a cross with wings on her upper, and a homage to her home town Port Arthur on her left arm. Her mom was working as a nurse in Texas while she was growing up, and McPherson would sit in front of the television while her mother took care of patients. It is to commemorate her relationship and her memories with her mother. Her most beloved piece of ink is a drawing of Betty Boop that she had done in 2008 while studying at UC Berkeley. The homage to maternal lineage runs strong with McPherson. Across her collarbones, lettering reads “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, something inked people struggling against societal conventions have known for a long time. One of them is one her face – a pair of red lips, which she has said represents how a grandmother might kiss you on the cheek. More importantly for this list, she also has over 30 tattoos on her body. She is the only woman of her height, 5ft 4in, to clear 6ft 6in.

I just want to swing a few lefts and a few rights for a couple of hundred mill in peace.” Rio finalist McPhersonĪmerican track and field athlete Inika McPherson specialises in the high jump. As McGregor has famously stated, “F**k politics and f**k religion. However, the latter should not be seen as an expression of religious affiliation. Furthermore, Connor has a helix of thorns running along his spine, intertwining with a cross at the nape of his neck. On his left forearm, there is a rose bush along with a pocket watch set to 3.35 pm, a dagger, an Irish gentleman and a tiny cartoon wearing boxing gloves. McGregor has simply stated that he finds tigers to be courageous animals and so he “went out and got one.” Hopefully, he was as tough getting inked on the belly as he is in a fight. The tiger on his abdomen, sitting right between lettering spelling out ‘McGregor’ and ‘Notorious’ does not have quite as much symbolism to it. While it’s not the exact same one, he has said he also wanted to honour the place he has spent years training. The logo of McGregor’s home gym in Dublin, Straight Blast Gym, is also a gorilla. The eating of the heart is a different tale, but most likely it is to strike fear in opponents looking at his bare chest. Connor has stated that he perceives himself as the king gorilla, so that is what’s up with the crown.
A gorilla that is, in fact, wearing a crown and feasting on a human heart. The largest and most conspicuous tattoo on McGregor has to be the gorilla on his chest. And the distinct body art, often on display due to the minimal MMA costumes, are part and parcel of the character and persona in and out of the octagonal ‘ring’. From his pre-game talk, press conferences, and yes, fights, he is a performance in and of himself. Nicknamed ‘The Notorious’, the Irish lightweight champion is often called the face of Mixed Martial Arts. Both of whom are covered in some seriously significant body art. In this post, we take a look at MMA legend Connor McGregor, and American Track and Field star Inika McPherson. While we could continue with football stars such as Sydney Leroux, Arturo Vidal and, of course, David Beckham in infinitum, let’s switch it up a bit.
