What is the deal with those tattoo's?

[Antix]

You know the ones, where a fighter for one reason or another has decided to get his surname tattoo'd on his back, just in case they or we the viewer forget who they are?

Ones I can think of off the top of my head include:

Cub Swanson

Donald Cerrone

Michael Johnson

Conor McGregor decided to have his name just under his chest:

Have I missed anyone?

More importantly why do people get their own names tattoo'd on themselves? thanks in advance.

Nah Codys are the worst. I cringe thinking anyone wants to look like this

Its like a team sport jersey that has the players name on the back, except a fighters jersey is bare skin

Im proud of myself was able to sidestep the obvious troll response that its for remembering their name after the brain damage sets in

Because they admire the real sportsmen who wear jerseys with their name on the back while competing

No idea wtf Conor was thinking

Thank god Reebok is not in the tattoo business then!

Why does someone get a veiny penis sword tattood on his chest?

People are fucking dumb. Being proud of your last name is retarded.

Conor speaks out against reebok tattoos.
*next day*
Conor McGregor was never my friend

I'm more surprised he doesn't have his grandma on his back. If he did, Reebok couldn't complain about it and steal his Reebok check.

 

[Yodsanan]

Should have gone the whole way.

It makes it easier for the cops to identify you if you get arrested.

Yeah that 1 will always be mentioned as 1 of the worst. It looks like a white Kim Jong Il.

Roseanne?

I've always thought the same thing, I will never understand what possesses men to put their own surname on their body, alongside them tattooing mother, father or children's faces on them.
