10 of the best tattoos in the UFC (Photos)

10. Eddie Wineland

If there ever was a walking billboard for tattoos it would be Eddie Wineland. The man is covered from head to toe with the most beautiful and colorful tattoos. His entire back is inked up with a scene out of a storybook A scary storybook.

“I always wanted a tattoo because of my dad,” Wineland told Fightland Vice. “He’s not heavily tattooed—he’s just got a panther on his arm. But I always looked up to my father. When I did my first sleeve, I was a little nervous—I wasn’t sure what my dad was gonna think.”

Like many who get tattoos, Wineland’s tattoos all have meanings behind them. His back is a scene of a warrior surrounded by clouds and sun poking through. This scene is no doubt symbolic of his fighting career, but not all of his tattoos are so serious.

“I’ve got tattoos that do have meaning,” Wineland said. “I’ve also got a monkey on the inside of my thigh hanging from a branch, reaching for a banana, you know? I’ve got my ass cheeks tattooed. My left one says ‘bad’ my right one says ‘ass.’”

The amount of tattoo covering that Wineland has makes a statement and because of this, he stands out. When he walks into the cage his bright colors pop and people notice.
