Then that John guy who fought twice, his arm tats look really fresh and some of the tribal parts aren't even all the way filled in yet. I noticed that in his last fight with Mac.
I dunno, I been paying a lot of attention to some of these guys tattoos. And it really got me thinking...
Either these guys got the tats just to look cool on TV, or they got them to intimidate the other guys, or maybe they are temporary tattoos that wear off in 6 months. I mean it's pretty obvious that at least a couple of those guys have really fresh tats, but I'm wondering if the tats are something the producer's thought of, to make them look more "badass" for the viewers, or is it something the fighters themselves thought of, for whatever reason, they wanted to look cool on TV or whatever. Thoughts?

I actually do tattoos and none of them looked that fresh to me other than John's who's isnt even finished yet but thats not that unusual. Tattoo's are expensive as hell my friend and most people get them piece by piece over several months for their larger tattoos anyways like johns. War Machines looked fine to me probably about a year old they dont deteriorate as fast as you would think. It is a possibility that they have gotten some to look good for the show but I doubt it most people arent that stupid. But about getting them done very time im currently working on my left sleeve and have been for about a year now and im only about 2 thirds done with it. I started on my back left shoulder and im working down to my left elbow but its so costly theres really no way to get it all done at once. that and the fact that no one wants to sit their in pain for more than 4 hours at a time, usualy anyways lol.
As for the tattoo's i cant personally say i knwo for a fact they werent new but they were definitly more than 2 weeks old. It takes 2 weeks generally for a tattoo to scab over and heal and shit, you cant go swimming during this time and they wouldnt be stretching and doing their work outs as mcuh either because it could hurt the quality of the tattoo if they did. Secondly you can tell they are atleast older than two weeks because when you get your tattoo's done the skin will inflame an stay that way for about 2 weeks time. As for getting Kanji, hirgana or katakana tattoo's (japanese) you cant ALLWAYS judge people because you dont know their ties to the country and shit like that. I myself have a few Hirigana on me but thats because I love Japan and know what it reads and can read it myself. I have alot of background with Japan though but i agree when people get it just because it looks cool i want to slap them. as for Tribals I CANNOT STAND THAT ITS SOOOO DISRESPECTFUL ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY but thats jsut the culture these days and we have to live with it but personally ive never done a tribal and never will but sadly it means ive turned down alot of money because its what most people seem to want these days
