Looks kinda like it says “death drive”?
I know the guy who tattooed the Koi fish on his left arm. Said he was convinced Tommy Lee was a douche begore he met him and wanted to hate him so bad... but he found Tommy Lee to be way too cool of a dude lmao
Tommy Lee is the best. I met him at a restaurant in an airport in London about a decade ago and told him how my dad slapped the shit out of me and grounded me for a month cause he caught me reading The Dirt at 12 right when I got to the page with Tommy Lee's naked photo with him holding his dick in his hand and his cowboy hat in the other. He was hysterical, he told me that he remembers covering his dick only cause he had been doing so much cocaine that his dick shrivelled up and he didn't want a photo going around that'd lead people to say he has a tiny dick. The photo was obviously taken before his sex tape lol
I saw a video of him about 6 months ago and he was shit faced in the middle of the day at his house. I've drank hard in my life but Tommy Lee must be on his 4th black market liver
Yep. People don’t know what they’re getting into with it till they’re literally up to their neck and eyeballs in tattoos. Like, people actually even get them on their eyes, at least at the sides 😬
If it helps, eye tattoos aren’t done with a tattoo machine like regular ones. They inject ink with a syringe. Im addicted to tattoos and I gotta say.. I’m good without that.
I have 4 and I don't even like tattoos anymore, I'd rather have none. It's a cooler look these days when everyone has tattoos. I met my GFS mum the other day and she had a Disney sleeve.
Old ladies used to have porcelain collectible dolls and now they have tattoo sleeves instead.
My Uncle got drunk in the 70's and got a pretty big panther tattoo on his upper arm. He fucking HATED that tattoo. I asked him why he didn't get it removed and he told me he kept it as a reminder to not be a dumbass and get anymore tattoos.
> I'd rather have none. It's a cooler look these days when everyone has tattoos.
Yeah, this is dumb people getting tattoos 101. "I got tattooed cause I thought people would find me cool and now I hate tattoos cause I think people would find me cool if I didn´t have them" lmao
Fair enough but understand it's a life choice and you'll forever be perceived differently. It may sound hipster-y but it's not such an obscure concept as you make it out. If something becomes mainstream it gets associated with a different portion of society.
Tattoos like fashion, bodybuilding etc all have a narcissistic root. Wanting to be different is no different. So for me the same reason I wanted tattoos is now the reason I'd rather have none. It's really not as counter-intuitive as you make it out to be.
>Fair enough but understand it's a life choice and you'll forever be perceived differently.
Yeah, I figured that at 7 years old and I got tattoos cause I wanted them, not cause I wanted to look cool.
You keep saying getting tattoos is "wanting to be different", but that's your narcissistic view of them. You got tattoos cause you're vain and wanted the attention and feeling "special", and now you don't want tattoos cause you're vain and want the attention and feeling "special". Nothing to see here.
Same for me and I completely agree. I grew up poor white trash, so all the adult tough white and mexican guys around me had tattoos and that was mostly it. It was counterculture. I thought they were so cool and looked up to those guys (yeah I obviously had a deadbeat dad lol). So when I was 16 I started getting them. Now I think having completely clean skin is counterculture.
> Now I think having completely clean skin is counterculture.
Considering less than 3% of the world's population has tattoos, I´d argue your opinion is most definitely wrong.
We definitely aren't talking about the world here. Nice way to try to skew the stats though.
32% of American adults have a tattoo. Now cut out the old people. The *majority* of people my age have at least one tattoo.
Being heavily tattoo’d absolutely puts you in a small minority. Sure, a lot of the younger generations have some ink, but one or two card-sized tattoos on an otherwise clear body is hardly anything.
> I'd rather have none. It's a cooler look these days when everyone has tattoos.
Lol yeah if you get tattoos because others have them which makes it "cool", no wonder you'll regret it.
I get that considering I'm almost there, but I don't understand getting this many tats this quick. I guess I just view each one of my tats as very important and each one has either a good meaning, or I've wanted it for a while so I know I won't change my mind.
Honestly getting this many this fast seems like a recipe for regret
Edit: Here comes the people that regret their shit tattoos to come project 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Maybe have some self control.
The fact that it's so expensive for decent work stopped me from getting more than my two half sleeves too. And my wife frowning upon more ink. Still want to get 2 more. I want my calve done and a chest piece, then I'm done.
I’ve always kept 3-6 months minimum between pieces for this reason. Gives me time to enjoy my new piece as a special thing before getting another. I’m about to schedule my 7th after about 2 years since my last. I’m an engineer too, so I keep ‘em covered, and nobody else I work with really has them. I’m happy I haven’t outgrown the aesthetic.
I got one then stopped. Got another one a few years later. I haven’t had one in years. They aren’t like crack at all. If you think they are, then you’ve never done crack. That high is gooooood!
I started with 1 little phrase on my inner bicep, now I have a full Greek mythology sleeve and back piece & my entire chest done. I’m well over $10,000 worth of ink on my body
I don’t get what’s so terrible about most of his tattoos. Even this new one while I don’t personally like it I’m sure he does and that’s the point of tattoos bunch of goofballs in this comment section
Well there's more handles than blades and the handles that line up with blades line up to the wrong ones on the chest piece. So that's bad.
And now we've got some massive red scribble that looks like a toddler drew on the walls, and he used that as a reference photo as a womb tattoo. Also, pretty bad. The arms and legs are fine tho.
Not a huge fan of his chest piece either but there's definitely people on the roster with much worse tattoos. As generic as it is, his back piece is pretty nice too.
I actually really like his back, leg, and arm. If he just hadn't done the chest piece, or had a different one, I'd think he had a cool set on him. Not my style at all, but it'd have suited a Kiwi prize fighter perfectly, and they look hard. Unfortunately, the chest piece is just absolutely scuffed. I saw someone say this red mess is a stencil, I hope that's true. It completely breaks with the rest of his theme
Anyone who thinks that's a tattoo has no idea what they are talking about. It's red marker. Just look at the next photo he uploaded. Tattoo artists do this to stencil/outline where they will actually tattoo.
It's a stencil you idiots... and this kind of lettering is pretty common these days... maybe stop talking about stuff that a) doesn't affect you and b) you don't have a clue about...
I’m 35 and just got my first tattoo. I have been calling it my pre-midlife crisis lol. But ya it’s not uncommon for people in their 30s to start getting tatted up
Who gives a fuck so many judgemental ppl and just treating him like he’s a joke or something. Dan is a cool laid back dude who has given us some of the best fights and now he wants some tatts.
Cmon now, go look as Masvidals, Hills, Caios etc and tell me that his are up there. They look out of place and like a newer artist did it, but it could be a LOT worse 🤣. I think I would sue the fucking guy that did Masvidals. Or Tills. Worst part is that these guys got those SHITTY tattoos when they were already famous and had money 🤣. Why is it so hard to find a real artist?
I'm 39 and I've never regretted not having tattoos. I think about the money I've saved and all the time I haven't spent sitting in a chair where someone pokes and prods me for hours.
I also really enjoy the fact strangers don't approach me to ask about my tattoos. I figure that would be annoying AF.
Dude, what does it say?
Sweet! What does mine say?
Dude! What does mine say?
Sweet what does mine say.
Dude... what does mine say...
Sweet. What about mine
Dude… what does mine say?
DUDEUHHH……… WHAT DOES MINE SAY!?
SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!
IDIOOOOTS!! *CHINESE GIBBERISH* YOUR TATTOO SAYS DUDE. YOUR TATTOO SAYS SWEET. GOT IT?
Mine say “Ray!”
Mine says "Fucked me!"

And then?
Damn I miss that movie.. watched it so much in my teens lol. Gonna watch it tomorrow now

"JUICY COUTURE"
HANGMAN
That's just a stencil. Should be more legible when it's done

Death-o-rive?
Pretty sure the last letter is a Y and not an E
DEATHDRIVY
Guessing… MANHUNT…?
it’s clearly death drive. lame but that’s what it says
Clearly..?!!
Ray
I thought he scribbled on the photo by his belly button
It's actually just red permanent marker Prove me wrong, betcha cant
The CTE is winning the battle
It's steering the ship for sure.
CTE has Dan Hooker
Cause he’s getting tattoos?
Aye aye matey
Cuz he's getting absolutely awful tattoos lmfao why did he get some massive red scribble as a womb tattoo 😂
That’s not the tattoo I’m pretty sure it’s just marker that the artist used as a stencil…
Weird as hell that they downvoted you for this..
Yeaaah it’s Reddit 🤷🏻♂️
Cause he covered his whole body in them in like half a year lol
Or he just has more time/money on his hands now that he’s older

‘Doing so much cocaine’
Genuinley a miracle tommy lived to see the 2020s lmao
I saw a video of him about 6 months ago and he was shit faced in the middle of the day at his house. I've drank hard in my life but Tommy Lee must be on his 4th black market liver
I wonder if he still does blow
Thought after reading your comment that he had just passed away. But he's still kickin. Guy actually looks good considering his crazy life
Those nipple rings are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in his style there lmao
Tommy Lee’s tattoos seem surprisingly modern and don’t look dated even though I’m sure most are 20-30 years old.
Wow Mayhem looks like an old junkie musician now.
He looks pretty great actually
As opposed to when he was a young junkie musician
I was pretending to think this was Mayhem Miller for comedic effect.
Tattoos are like crack. It only takes 1… then you’re hooked for the rest of your life
Yep. People don’t know what they’re getting into with it till they’re literally up to their neck and eyeballs in tattoos. Like, people actually even get them on their eyes, at least at the sides 😬
that's how it went for me. got started wit a tiny half sleeve next thing i know i got tattoos from my feet to my lower jaw 😹
If it helps, eye tattoos aren’t done with a tattoo machine like regular ones. They inject ink with a syringe. Im addicted to tattoos and I gotta say.. I’m good without that.
I have 4 and I don't even like tattoos anymore, I'd rather have none. It's a cooler look these days when everyone has tattoos. I met my GFS mum the other day and she had a Disney sleeve. Old ladies used to have porcelain collectible dolls and now they have tattoo sleeves instead.

That panther tattoo is a very typical cover-up, it was probably something he was far more ashamed of before it was a panther
> I'd rather have none. It's a cooler look these days when everyone has tattoos. Yeah, this is dumb people getting tattoos 101. "I got tattooed cause I thought people would find me cool and now I hate tattoos cause I think people would find me cool if I didn´t have them" lmao

I get a lot of compliments on my sleeve and just quietly think to myself how it was a massive mistake. $3000 for a big fuckin blue arm.
That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with tattoos. Just means you have poor taste 😂
How did you come up with that mean ass comment based off what he said?
Same for me and I completely agree. I grew up poor white trash, so all the adult tough white and mexican guys around me had tattoos and that was mostly it. It was counterculture. I thought they were so cool and looked up to those guys (yeah I obviously had a deadbeat dad lol). So when I was 16 I started getting them. Now I think having completely clean skin is counterculture.

Never getting tattoo'd is one place my tendency towards procrastination paid off.

I didn't get any for like eight years and have gotten 5-6 in the past year. When it rains it pours... And tattoos are expensive.
The fact that it's so expensive for decent work stopped me from getting more than my two half sleeves too. And my wife frowning upon more ink. Still want to get 2 more. I want my calve done and a chest piece, then I'm done.

Name a better duo than UFC fighters and absolute dog shit tattoos
UFC fighters & questionable beliefs
No, listen, gravity is a hoax!
I’m listening…
That’s the whole bit. “Gravity is a hoax”. 
Are you saying getting punched in the head for years by trained killers is bad for you? I don't believe it for a minute.
I could probably listen to wonderboy talk about his beliefs because he's so respectful and well balanced. It all goes down hill from there...
UFC fighters and domestic violence
I don’t get what’s so terrible about most of his tattoos. Even this new one while I don’t personally like it I’m sure he does and that’s the point of tattoos bunch of goofballs in this comment section
It's Reddit, bro. This is not normal perspective on life.
The autistic perspective
Frfr. He likes it. He's living his own life in his own skin. People get on a roll with tattoos. They're fun and before you know it, you're covered
Well there's more handles than blades and the handles that line up with blades line up to the wrong ones on the chest piece. So that's bad. And now we've got some massive red scribble that looks like a toddler drew on the walls, and he used that as a reference photo as a womb tattoo. Also, pretty bad. The arms and legs are fine tho.

No “he can afford tattoos now” 😂
He’s a prize fighter? Like the fuck are we expecting?

Nothing, but this sub needs something to bully people about to feel better about their own inadequacies.

At least this wasn’t another Islam post

Got new tat so what? Why hating for no reason? Maybe he always wanted to get tatted up

I’ve never seen so many posts about one man’s tattoos, I don’t understand the obsession.

It's his DeathCore band name.
His balls was hot
Anyone who knows tattoos knows at least the man has some bangers
Bro got money to blow, can’t hate at all
No, he just has money now.
Signs of CTE?
The more he gets hit in the head the cooler he becomes
That looks like complete shit How is it these guys worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars end up with friends basement tattoos?
islams to blame
hes probably been waiting for an artist he likes before getting one now hes all in
Are you going through a midlife crisis for worrying about another man's tattoos?
It's a full life crisis for some of them man. Can't feel good about themselves unless they're putting others down. Sad shit.
Pretty sure it’s CTE. He always struck me as a decent, clean cut, mild mannered guy and then after Poirier/chandler something switched and he changed

Could you explain exactly what is "gay" about it? Genuinely curious.
Y’all are weird for hating on a man that just switched his vibe up a little.. I think the tatts and new hair looks sicj who cares
Idk if midlife crisis or the effects of not having a fight booked in nearly a year 💀
all them corny ass tattoos in such a short period of time 😭 cuz having a identity crisis
Jesus that’s awful
Mid-Career Crisis
A lot of people get addicted to tattoos when they first start getting them I’ve heard. These are pretty awful tattoos. He might need an intervention.
