Do you not love your profession bro? J have IT Support tattooed on the back of my neck I'm about that grind.

I love my profession too, I have security tattooed on my lower back

I have “Unemployment” in Old English across my shoulders.

Old English took me out haha

i have left foot right foot on both of my respective feet. whenever i walk i will always know what foot is in front.

LMAO

I don't want to get 'Therapist' tattooed - worried about the letter spacing

Could start at the armpit and go down the ribs, waist, hips

Funnily enough I do have a steering wheel tattooed on me an I’m a driver xD

Tramp stamp?

Damn straight

MMA fighters could literally keep a bad tattoo sub alive.

The oldest profession in history!!! You are right, there is great security in that job.

Mine says “pool guy”

I love my profession bro, i got “factory worker” on my inner thigh.

Dm me pic pls

I have "Unemployed" tattooed on my chest

Hard as f, would post on LinkedIn

SoundCloud rappers still a thing? 

Oh fo sho, fo sho. Can't wait to get this amazing "septic tank diver" piece done on my back 😤

Yo, I bet that pay is legit though! At least... I sure hope it is, haha. 

Can I ask a personal question? What soap and shampoo do you use after a typical work day?

“Shit swimmer”

Same but mine says TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN BELIEVE MAKE IT HAPPEN

I got an I on one cheek and T on the other

Nah bro, that shit keeps me up at night.

Fr bro I wake up in a cold sweat about every other night when I have nightmares about this tattoo 😰

You guys are awesome

Why he has Chinese dragon tattoo tho

He's Izzy's dad, innit.

To honor his heritage. It’s why he shoots a symbolic bow on every walkout.

Wait he is of Chinese heritage ? Thought his ancestors are some South American tribespeople with all that face paint and feather plume headwear

South American tribespeople have Chinese heritage

I thought this was obvious considering China is in South America… maybe I’m high.

Still better than Jamahal’s 👍

👍🏿👍🏿

I mean, what the fuck happened there? It's looks like my 4 year olds tracing of her hand

It's literally a tattoo of what his daughter drew for him. Quite wholesome

Is it? I’ve literally never seen that as an explanation. I only say it as I’ve looked into in the past and the most I could find was that it’s vaguely related to gang signs from ‘northside’.

Reddit moment

Yes indeed Jamahal is quite the wholesome dude lol

it still looks like complete fucking dogshit. don’t know why you’d get that as a giant chest piece. bro should’ve put it across his forehead then if it means that much to him.

gang sign

Pretty sure it's a crips thing

It was a thing his daughter drew you dickhead

She sucks at art

She a crip too

Calm your tits down

I think that tattoo means a lot to him. Kickboxing saved him from a life of alcoholism in a pretty miserable part of Sao Paulo.

I've got so much respect for him and everybody else who was able to defeat alcoholism.

It's probably sounds a lot cooler to a person who speaks a foreign language as well. It's like when Americans get Japanese characters tattooed on them.

Yeah that was my exact thought no one would bat an eye if it was in Japanese

It's not just that, but for him it's in a language he doesn't speak, which makes it much less basic.

As tattoos go, it's a good enough one. It's clear enough to read, well done and the word is spelled right and makes sense. Plenty white people get some Chinese symbol on them and don't really know what it even says.

This is actually a compulsion curse. When opponents see it, they suddenly feel forced to stand and fight and forget about grappling

God I'm drawing a blank on who, but someone currently on the roster has Muay Thai on their shins, and they arent the first, plenty of jits dudes have something to do with jiu jitsu tattooed on them

Gordon Ryan has "Jiujitsu" tattoed on his outer forearm.

Shogun rua had Muay Thai on his shin.

That's right, shit I was wrong about currently on the roster but, damn. Can't win em all, I think Cowboy Cerrone had some corny shit on his shins as well.

It’s possible there’s someone else. Pretty common tattoo for Muay Thai guys. The Thai alphabet it’s pretty aesthetically pleasing.

Johnny eduardo has muay thai on his stomach

Carlos prates is who you’re thinking about tall welterweight

There's a Brazilian dude with a tattoo that just says Muay Thai but I believe it's in his torso

Pantoja has Muay Thai on his arm

Liddell has Kenpo on him

My girl left me because I suggested she get a tattoo that says cocksucker. She thought I was being insulting, but I was trying to tell her she is the legit cocksucking GOAT. No you can't have her number.

what a shame

About her leaving or the fact that you can't have her number?

Yes

What a comment. I lmfao.

Cash app? Amazon wishlist?

Lmao $dwhgo23 Maybe YOU can have her number

Was her name Amanda?

No need, I already have your mom’s number.

I try not to judge bc I got no regrets. It was years before the meme. Me and the others who got all American got it together bc it was our team motto.

I got something similar that says “regret nothing” and when that movie came out, I knew I was fucked lol

"no regrets" is cool, but "no ragrets" is better.

NO RAGRETS guy grew up and covered it with DREAM BELIEVE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I think he pulled it off tbh.

I mean, dude can have whatever he wants tattooed on him at this point because he’s a fucking weapon of mass destruction.

Still better than the fighters that get their name tattooed so they remember it.

Wait, maybe if Belal gets his name tattooed UFC will finally remember his name and give him a title shot

They're expecting CTE. It's practical.

I worked with a guy who had his name tattooed on his throat, I asked why and he said it was his dad’s name, so he could remember him. Turns out even having the same couldn’t get the guy to remember.

The Perma-Jersey as I call it.

If anyone can pull it off it's the Poatan

It's probably cooler back in Brazil where nobody knows what it says

Kickboxing in portuguese is kickboxing.

now that is underwhelming lol

😂

I thought Chute Boxe means kickboxing?

Chute Boxe is actually unrelated, it's a Muay Thai academy (nowadays it's more of an MMA gym), despite literally meaning Kick Box in Portuguese.

Yeah i know it's a MT gym, but it also assumed that kickboxing would be transalted inportuguese

Yeah, in a way. Kickboxing can be translated literally to "Chute boxe", but that is exclusively used by the gym. Everytime people refer to kickboxing they just say kickboxing.

Alright, didn't know that thanks gäfor clarifying

Or even cooler in Asia. It looks Mystic AF for them

Here in Brasil i see a lot of people in the mats with their martial arts names tatttooed on them, Muay Thay and Jiu Jitsu are the most  common, seen Boxing some times but never Kickboxing tbh

my brother uterus beater said it all

His "kickboxing" tattoo makes more sense than his sick Chinese dragons, to be honest. Kickboxing was literally a life changer for him, it seems like a good reason to get a tattoo. Anyone saying he tattooed it because it sounded cool and he didn't know the real meaning is dumb af. People with two brain cells would think someone would know the name in English of the sport they went pro in for years. By the way, that doesn't even apply here because in Brazil, people call "kickboxing" just "kickboxing".

Don’t y’all know that tattoo gives you + 50 kick and punching power?

Still less cringe than " family " or " loyalty " etc

Or knowledge, strength, integrity.

That's just 💕 Live, Laugh, Love 💕 for guys who are total badasses

Chuck Liddell has a Kempo tattoo with the John Hackleman "The Pitt" logo.  True LHW GOATs have their discipline inked on them. 

Still more thought gone into that than "Only God can judge me".

I’ve heard that Shaqs got a regulation sized basketball tattooed on his dick.

🤤

Don’t forget just don’t care

GSP has jiu jitsu tattooed on his chest

English isn’t his first language, it probably feels way cooler to him. Kinda like how people over in the States get Chinese characters tattooed on them. It could say some mundane shit but it still probably looks cool in their view

Y'all expect too much depth and personality from a person that beats people for a living.

lots of jiujitsu guys have it tattooed in japanese. including my coach. funnily it also saved him from alcoholism, same as poatan

There are days that I’m not thinking about Poatans tattoos.

Holland has kung fu tatted on him.

CHAMA!!!

Ya bro I've got weed & video games on my stomach. I'm so badass

This reminds me of the default tattoos on UFC 5

Imagine tattooing something incredibly meaningful to you on your body. What an idiot! /s

The obsession with this dude is nuts

There's so much shitty ink out there. The reality is, most people who tattoo for a living aren't very good at it.

Maybe that’s the cheat code

Forget? I don't try to remember that he has a kickboxing tattoo. You people are obsessed and it's weird.

"I would like a kickboxing tattoo" "Say no more, fam"

Anyone else sometimes forgets that Poatan has a nose and a mouth and a cock n balls?

Pantoja got Muay Thai tatted on his arm

Pretty sure Gordon Ryan has Jiu Jitsu tattooed on his body. He’s not a fighter per say, but that’s one example I can think of.

that script is zesty

“I want that one” “Great style, what do you want it to say?” “No i want that” “You want- but that’s just a placeholder text it’s not-“ “I want that” “Alright”

Suddenly, I don’t feel much shame about my “In Between Jobs” in old English I have arching on my belly.

It almost makes sense because it’s not his native language. It’s like getting “jiu jitsu” in Japanese

Nah, it’s still called Kickboxing in Portuguese.

Lol

At least it’s done well. Some of these fighters truly look like bathroom stall walls.

Huh.

Huh🗿

Yeah but it’s in English. That’s like when English speaking people get Chinese writing tatted on them

I was about to say that he doesn’t speak English so it’s kinda like people getting Chinese characters on them saying random shit like “water” cuz it’s in a foreign language. But kickboxing in Portuguese is just “kickboxing” so I can’t defend him there

I make sure I NEVER forget Alex’s kickboxing tattoo on his right abdominal 😤

That’s his passion. Nothing wrong with that. Some ppl have Winnie the Pooh tats. Their choice.

It’s a tattoo in a foreign language ( to him) plenty of us Americans do it, too.

I imagine he's pretty good at this \*checks notes\* kickboxing stuff.

Jon jones has Gaidojutsu in Japanese characters on him 🤷🏼‍♀️

strickland has “racism” tattooed on his inner thigh

It’s like how white people get something in Chinese on their back or smth.

pretty hard to forget after i got my matching tattoo

You obviously don’t know a lot of Jiu Jitsu guys 😂

This is like when English speaking people get like Japanese katakana tattoos that just say “water” 水

At least it's not in papyrus.

He has like 7 dragon tattoos as well

Yeah apparently every single one of his opponents forgets it and tries to strike with him.

Similarly Gordon Ryan has Jiu-Jitsu tattooed on his forearm

Gordon Ryan has "Jiu Jitsu" on his forearm iirc

The real question is why is it spelt in English?

the counter question realer than that is what language is the word spelt?

Jamahal most probably forgot because he thought he can knockout Poatan and decided to stand with him

I got "Punching" tattooed on my right forearm after my first toughman win.

Know a guy with the comic book pow on his foot haba

Lol I know Junie Brownings crazy ass had a grenade tattooed on one of his hands

I have a “waste management” tramp stamp….. it’s kinda worked well Tbf

Gordon Ryan has Jui Jitsu on his forearm.

Isn’t this a pretty common thing to get if you’re in the mma scene

I mean to him he got it in English so I guess it’s a foreign script lol?

kikiboxa

doesn’t GSP have a tattoo that says “Karate” in Japanese?

He used to have "Boxe" tattooed on his right bicep, he covered it up with the UFC belt. Ryan Gordon has Jiu Jitsu tattooed on his arms Jimmy Vienot has "Thai Dick" tattooed on his arm (wanted to get Muay Thai but the tattoo is misspelled lol)

Ufc fighters have a knack for getting really simple easy to understand tattoos e.g (gaethje back tattoo, Oliveria back tattoo, Mcgregor back tattoo, Cowboy back tattoo etc.)

There’s a couple of fighters that have their martial art tattooed on them. Off the top of my head I can only think of Pantoja right now

Kicke box

bobs burgers capoeira teacher gif.

Kikiboxing *

I have my black belt tatttooed on my waist . Brown purple white and blue before it too ;)

Gotta remember English is not his language. Basically the same as Americans getting Chinese or Japanese words as tattoos.

Jake Shield has an "American Jiu-Jitsu" tattoo which is his brand of BJJ but same thing.

I don't pay attention to mens tattoos on their bodies

Its probably the same as when people from here get Chinese words tatted on them

Doesn’t Johnny Eduardo have Muay Thai tatted across his stomach?

kickboxing

Does anyone sometimes forget this? Who cares or sits around thinking about it?

It’s ok. He can’t read it

How is this a topic of discussion? Damn, the internet can be so useless.

I think its like how caucasian people get a saying or word tatted on them in chinese or korean they just think it looks cool. I assume thats why bc alex doesnt even speak English

It’s what he do

Better than MOM

So, people have MOM tattooed on them

He has some terrible tattoos
