I’ve been a professional tattoo artist for 10 years and have never heard of such a ridiculous claim. First, this tribal piece, like almost all other forms of tribal, has roots in ancient cultures far older than this tattooist, the invention of copyright, or modern tattoo practices. To claim a piece such as this as his own is laughable.
9:12pm BST/5:12pm ET: That’s something for the admirably durable Dovbyshchenko to tell the grandchildren about one day as he battles to the final bell without suffering a knockdown. Itauma seemed to enjoy the chance to showcase his skills, never really pushing for the stoppage until the final seconds. It’s still hard to tell against an opponent of limited ambition, but Itauma absolutely looks to the real deal – a beautifully well-rounded boxer who lives up to the sparring stories that are already the stuff of legend. Remember the name.
Indeed Mike Tyson’s new “tribal tattoo” appears to be influenced by the bold lines of the tattoos of the ethnic people of Borneo and by a very common design motif prominent in the tattooing or “moko” of the Maori people of New Zealand. Within Tyson’s facial tattoo it is possible to discern two spiral patterns very similar to the fern frond, or koru, that is a repeating motif common to Maori art, including tattooing or “moko”, painting and carving, in both wood, bone and greenstone. A traditional Maori tattoo artist — the tohunga ta moko — could produce two different types of pattern: that based on a pigmented line, and another, the puhoro, based on darkening the background and leaving the pattern unpigmented as clear skin.
Mao and other Communist leaders set out to reshape Chinese society. Industry came under state ownership and China’s farmers began to be organised into collectives. All opposition was ruthlessly suppressed. The Chinese initially received significant help from the Soviet Union, but relations soon began to cool.

On August 13, 2003, Tyson entered the ring for a face-to-face confrontation against K-1 fighter Bob Sapp immediately after Sapp’s win against Kimo Leopoldo in Las Vegas. K-1 signed Tyson to a contract with the hopes of making a fight happen between the two, but Tyson’s felony history made it impossible for him to obtain a visa to enter Japan, where the fight would have been most profitable. Alternative locations were discussed, but the fight ultimately did not take place.
El desenlace del combate llegó a los 2:07 minutos de la segunda ronda cuando Silva cayó a la lona por acumulación de golpeo y no se paró a tiempo para superar el conteo de 10 del réferi Marcus McDonnell.
In 1995, Zhang was called up to the Shenqiu County canoe sprinting team by coach Li Guofeng. When Zhang injured his leg during a tryout for the provincial canoe sprinting team, he was referred to the provincial boxing coach Gu Ganqing. In 1998, Gu signed him to the Combat and Weightlifting Center in the Henan Provincial Department of Sports, headed by center chief Li Yan in Shangjie. From 1998 until he was released from his sporting obligations, he was coached by Gu. This was the first time Zhang had lived away from his family.
Round 3: Battle of the jabs and it’s an even contest. Hrgovic cut around the right eye. Two rights from Hrgovic land hard. Another right hand scores for Hrgovic. The pace slowed perceptibly in this round and the edge goes to Hrgovic.
“I’ve got issues I’ve got to deal with,” he told the media post-fight. “I’m in pain and I’ve got some serious demons I am fighting… To be honest I’m not ready to fight him at this time. I need more fights.”
But an iconic tattoo having a whole different shape takes the cake. Just imagine a prime boxer with raw power, arrested multiple times, but sporting cute hearts on his face! A prime sentiment on X (@JiujitsuOtter) reacted “I’d buy him a beer for having the heart not to do it and made the most iconic tattoo in sports history instead.”
Tyson hasn’t stepped in to the ring professionally for 15 years, but you certainly wouldn’t guess that by looking at him. He is still in phenomenal shape. Imagine if he decided to make a comeback while rocking a full body suit? Pretty badass, if you ask us.
Meaning: box The boxer went under the needle in the year 2003 by the tattoo artist, Victor Whitmill. The tribal tattoo is inked on the left side of Tyson’s face. This unique design stirred some commotions like lawsuit and trials when ‘The Hangover’ movie doctor’s character ‘Stu Price’ depicted a temporary tribal tattoo with the same design as Tyson’s tattoo on his face.
