Tattoo You

By Scott Keith on 19 June 2024


I think MJF’s tattoo is great for MJF the person, probably means a lot to him. For MJF the TV wrestling character, though? Not so much. Rebels who hate everything don’t get company logos and tough guys don’t brag about it being on their ankle. Got me thinking of tattoos that have helped or hurt a wrestler’s presentation. And I can’t put MJF at the bottom. Who else you got?

Worst

Cody Rhodes – Neck – The undisputed king of “What was he thinking?”

Undertaker – Sara neck – He can cover it up now, but he can’t erase the dark period of the supposed bad ass demon answering to his annoyingly awful then-wife, who essentially ended DDP’s wrestling career.

Babyface Batista – Belly button sunshine – Just so douchy.

Best

Goldberg – Shoulder – Simple and iconic part of his overall presentation.

Heel Batista – Belly button sunshine – Just so douchy.

Brock Lesnar – Full frontal sword – The nightmare-inducing mark of the Viking Space Lord.

Oh man the Brock one was a game changer. Perfect touch.
Worst was poor Siva Afi. At least Umaga was fake facial tats when they wanted him to be a Samoan chief. I’ve also never been a huge fan of Rock and his giant full body tattoo, which luckily didn’t hurt his acting career any but certainly could have.
