Go Ahead and Make Fun of It

Mike Tyson is unquestionably one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. During his prime, he was a knockout machine, and everyone feared him. The man even had a pet tiger. In 2003, before his fight with Clifford Etienne, he decided to make the life-long investment of getting a face tattoo.

The tribal tattoo may appear absurd, but Tyson believes it demonstrates his warrior status. I wouldn’t argue with this warrior, no matter how bad that tattoo appears to be. If nothing else, the face tattoo suits him. And I doubt anyone would disagree with him, at least not to his face. The boxer has matured, and the tattoo has become his signature style.
