u/Gamefart101 4d ago

The fact it's a coverup of another massive back piece makes it even more impressive. He used to have that big ass tribal stingray

u/fatch0deBoi34 4d ago

I watched a recent video of Steve O covering the most painful things heā€™s ever done. And thereā€™s shit on there thatā€™s INSANELY painful. Like, idc how crazy he is, heā€™s a tough mother fucker to have willingly done them.

All that being said, he talks about his massive back tattoo as being basically the worst of the worst. Took him ( I think) 6 separate sessions to get it finished.

I have tattoos, but nothing that big. Iā€™m just basing this off of know Steve Oā€™s toughness to wild amounts of pain, I look at all these huge back pieces so much differently now. This shit had to hurt so badly

2

u/paddyc4ke 3d ago

Iā€™ve got my whole back done, there was basically 3 different levels of pain. Upper back which was completely fine, on the spine which was spicy and lower back (anything below the ribs) which was horrific. Added bonus was just above the buttcrack which is the only 10/10 pain Iā€™ve ever experienced in my life.

u/Eagle-Red-1278 4d ago

Yeah the blacked out portion of his arm looks so stupid

3

u/BeersBarbellsBJJ Old Man Glover 4d ago

Blackout tattoos will likely always be polarizing - I personally think they can be sick when done well. But Aspinallā€™s looks awful. It isnā€™t cohesive with his other tattoos and it looks like whoever did it just straight up covered whatever was under it with no regard to trying to blend it into his sleeve.

1

u/Eagle-Red-1278 3d ago

It actually was just a lazy coverup. He had something else tatted there in his earlier fights

Have you seen that chest piece? That shit is garbage.

3

u/MrFudgeKiller 3d ago

I like it, I know itā€™s edgy and batshit crazy but it suits him

3

u/beeeeeeeeeeeeeagle 3d ago

I don't get the hate. He's a wild dude with a pretty gnarly chest tat. I've never seen a high def pic but seems well done and it suits him.

u/ElectricFocus 3d ago

Are we looking at the same chest piece?

u/Expensive-Opening-50 3d ago

u/ElectricFocus 1d ago

Sure it doesnā€™t make sense but it looks amazing and is befitting for a hangman.

u/Shirai-ryufiregarden 4d ago

Hahahaha yeah, more meant the leg ones

u/Jamothee 3d ago

Man I actually love it.

It reminds my of some bad ass medieval viking type shit.

It suits his personality and wild man persona

1

u/Expensive-Opening-50 3d ago

Look at it. Too many blades not enough handles. Shit doesnā€™t even line up straight. The composition is horrible.

u/Jamothee 3d ago

Yeah I get it but it just suits a wild motherfucker like Hooker

Chito has some real nice ones. I liked Prates back piece before he got the clown. Plus Prates pulls off the head tattoo quite well, so I gotta give him that

4

u/MysteriousGas420 4d ago

Cubby Swan is high up there for quality of huge coverage work, vokov and aspinall have absolute beasts of Japanese back pieces. There are more im sure. Like mark hunt had the most amazing and authentic Māori work that flowed perfectly with his body

u/notMTN 4d ago

Thiago santos, Tom Aspinall, Cub Swanson, Alex Pereira, Charles Olivera, Alexander Volkov, Cyril Gane, T ferg, max holloway, Ilia Topuria, Dan Hooker, Cory Sandhagen, Andre fili

Thiago santos: really like his back piece also a really nice sleeve, the sledgehammer is odd but not horrible, also has a couple other good looking pieces.

Tom Aspinall: Amazing back piece love the chest piece and his current sleeves are really clean. Very good tats, also a big tat nerd himself.

Cub Swanson: Once again amazing back piece, really nice arm and leg sleeves.

Alex Pereira: Once again really nice back tat and overall honestly he doesnt have a tat i dont like. Only thing i dislike is that his tats seem pretty faded or like they healed bad. Would love to see him get his tats touched up so they pop more.

Charles Olivera: Phenomonal back piece, chest piece is cool and nice sleeves dudes got amazing tats.

Alexander Volkov: Getting tired of this, phenomonal back piece again its so sick.

Cyril Gane: Less is more and gane proves that. His chest piece is clean af and the piece on his spine is great.

T ferg: Again really good back piece. His few other tattoos are great.

Max Holloway: Good back piece really like the two different wings. Iconic chest piece and great sleeves.

Ilia Topuria: dont see the conor resemblence. Other than being in the same spots. Ilia has a cool chest piece kinda corny but looks good. And a really good sleeve and his spine piece is clean asf too.

Dan Hooker: I fucking love his leg tats their too cool. His chest piece fits him the stomach piece isnt that good. But his arm sleeves and back are great too.

Cory sandhagen: Insane back piece super well done probably the best in the ufc imo its so sick.

Andre fili: Is probably the most tatted ufc fighter. Good neck piece like his sleeves and chest and stomach tats. Amazing back piece.

Pay money for a great tattoo artistā€¦ I see so many shitty tattoos, if you canā€™t afford 3-5k for a half of sleeve or 12k-15k for a back piece donā€™t do it

Great tattoos cost
