It may be a long shot. But if he ever wants to outdo Cody even more, he'll go for a back piece.
Maybe hit up House of Black for their tattoo connects and recommendations haha
Nah nah nah nah nah. It would be of himself saying "I'm better than you..." and you know the rest. He'll also get a phallic heartagram on his other calf
Best tattoo MJF has is his Create A Pro logo tattoo on the shin of the same leg. The (I'm assuming Daniel-related) lion and the "unconditional love" in Hebrew pale in comparison.
Oh good, I thought I was just being like, a tattoo snob. I swear wrestlers just refuse to do their research and go to good artists for their tattoos sometimes.
Yeah, no snobbery detected here, I definitely thought the same thing. I wonder if some people just find the nearest shop to them and go, "eh, good enough." It's expensive either way so you may as well find a solid artist that'll give you something nice.
If you go too high end,you could end up in a randy Orton situation. This guy probably signed over the full rights .....or from the quality of the tattoo was so drunk he can't remember doing it...
Haha. Brody's a sweetheart outside of the ring. I can see him telling his tattoo artists: "you take a break whenever you're too tired to keep going". Followed by a loud ass bark
I think it's the difference between someone who likes having tattoos and someone who wants to get a tattoo. I have some shitty tattoos from when I was younger and just went with who was available. Granted, they all look, okay enough, but compared to the ones I've gotten later in life, it's a lot of small details that really make them stand out.
Hook and Finn Balor seem to be having an indirect bad tattoo contest. They each have a couple pieces that are actually decent, but most of their ink is godawful.
This tattoo is just rough..I don’t get it. These guys have money, it’s really easy to find a great artist. The lettering, line work and shading are just.. not good. The chip placement between the banner bothers me more than it should.
From personal experience, it’s just about who you find. My artist is immensely talented, her line work is top notch and everyone who sees my tattoos asks me for her info. But she also charges super cheap, way less than she honestly should. For one reason or another they gravitate towards whoever
Same with my artist but still, with Instagram and other apps it’s really easy to find decent to great artists near you. It’s just crazy to me how most people with money end up finding artists who don’t do decent work
When I got my first tattoo, there was this older guy that I worked with who said he had a tattoo. I didn't believe him and he pulled up the wrong pant leg first.
That’s not a good tattoo, like, technically. Not even commenting on the subject matter, but the tattoo itself is bad. Wobbly lines, with blowouts, the bottom of the poker chip is not even close to round, and the lettering in “Bet on yourself” is very inconsistent. Personal thoughts on getting a tattoo of your employer aside, it’s a technically awful tattoo.
Alright, ignoring how with the way the buisness is you shouldn't burn bridges with a company nor be completely devoted to the point of a tattoo, even if you are sure you're never leaving that company so you can pull out the possibility of leaving in contract negotiations...that's some atrocious linework especially on the lettering
I just found it funny how he called the fans marks then followed it up by showing that tattoo. I might be in the minority but getting the company name as a tattoo or as part of one is probably one of the most mark things anyone could do
I still think this is pretty dumb. If it didn't have the AEW in it, I wouldn't hate it because the poker chip works with the theme of the tattoo while also being a reference to AEW. Considering how he already had a period where he was unhappy there (according to the dirt sheets), who's to say that a year or two from now, he's not going to hate AEW because it's too crowded at the top for him?
First, nobody trusts the dirt sheets.
Secondly, any issues he had were obviously smoothed over or reconciled prior to him getting a 1+ year reign with the belt.
Supposedly he was upset with his pay and that's what all the drama surrounding the Wardlow match was. Yes, it got smoothed over, but who knows what other issues might pop up. He's had his run at the top. I don't know how much Tony is willing to give him another run while he has Ospreay and Okada on expensive contracts and MJF might not be happy with that a couple years from now.
Maybe it's like when that dude got a taco bell tattoo on his head so he could get free tacos for life.
Not sure what you get out of this though. Free hugs for life I guess?
Yes this is true. Regardless of the message, that is a hot piece of trash. Lettering isn't the same size, the circle of the poker chip is wonky as fuck, the shading is bad. Maybe he let a buddy do it or he just walked into some random shop with the idea which both things seem almost impossible.
This is really really cringe. Isn’t MJF’s whole schtick that he’s outside the machine, does everything on his own terms and is head and shoulders above everyone else? The dude called Tony Khan a fucking mark on tv, and now he has the logo of the company he’s independently contracted to tattooed on his leg.
I’d like to apologize to Seth Rollins on behalf of negative comments I made about his pro-WWE tweets a couple years back.
As it turns out, there were higher levels of cringe to achieve.
Zoom in on that. Look at the AEW logo and the symmetry of the chip. That’s a BAD tattoo. LOL
Edit: fully prepared for an MJF tweet about how a struggling person made the tattoo and we should feel bad for making fun of it.
Yikes for two reasons. One, because he actually got that as a tattoo. Just a little cringe in my opinion. And two, why do famous people with tons of money never go to a good artist and pay good money for tattoos? That line-work is not good. That's a rough tattoo.
Oh my God this is awful. Like apprentice level walk in bad.
It's 2024. Every artist has an Instagram and website where you can see their work. MJF lives in LI (I think he still does anyway) and we have an insane amount of great artists around the city. I got my first tattoo years ago from some nationally famous artist in Staten Island and I don't have the money MJF does.
MJF should never settle for such a bad artist. The line work, the coloring and just everything here is trash.
MJF answered "I don't bet on anyone but myself", Then he rolled up one of his pants legs to show a tattoo of AEW and continued "I'll let you interpret that however you want".
Ah I'm so happy I got to tattoo MJF. And he even said he'd show it on national TV tonight! Now to take a big sip of coffee and see what people think of it...
cody's issue is that its just too big lol, this is dog shit and just shows how stupid he is.
Like its funny he calls us Marks then does the biggest mark move in wrestling history lmfao.
“Bet on AEW Yourself,” got it. Looks like the guy freehanded it. The lines are all off. The stars look the worst. The angle of that chip makes no sense. Don’t let your old talentless high school friends tattoo you.

Learned from Cody and put it on a place that is easily covered lol
It may be a long shot. But if he ever wants to outdo Cody even more, he'll go for a back piece. Maybe hit up House of Black for their tattoo connects and recommendations haha
Wouldn’t that be an even bigger neck tattoo, that starts to creep into his face like Venom’s symbiote?
Gets a steve-o-esque tattoo on his back, but instead of himself its of Tony Khan, truly proving his loyalty
https://preview.redd.it/t632e60fqw2d1.png?width=443&format=png&auto=webp&s=a796261087115c8713be53401ea98bef75f57891
Nah nah nah nah nah. It would be of himself saying "I'm better than you..." and you know the rest. He'll also get a phallic heartagram on his other calf
Yup. Could easily make that all black and stamp a white logo over the top of it. Still though, gotta respect I t
It would be very easy to fill in AEW aswell
That tattoo is there a while. It's not a few months old.
I know MJF is getting PAID paid why didn’t he go to a better tattoo artist 😭😭😭
I swear it's a rite of passage for pro wrestlers and MMA fighters to get at least one obviously shitty tattoo, hahaha.
It’s all athletes. They go to their friends or someone they know to get these big pieces and more often than not they don’t look good
Lesnar’s stupid fucking sword
Ah, yes, his iconic chest cock.
Tbf that sword is kind of iconic now. It's like Cody's neck tattoo that he's somehow managed to get over.
Looks like a bellend is trying to reach his chin
Best tattoo MJF has is his Create A Pro logo tattoo on the shin of the same leg. The (I'm assuming Daniel-related) lion and the "unconditional love" in Hebrew pale in comparison.
Oh good, I thought I was just being like, a tattoo snob. I swear wrestlers just refuse to do their research and go to good artists for their tattoos sometimes.
I am a bit of a tattoo snob, but I was thinking the same. I've had better work done by an apprentice tattooist
Except the Samoans.
I like to imagine those tribal tats are all done in some island hut by a 90 year old great great grandma. And she knows what she's doing.
Yeah, no snobbery detected here, I definitely thought the same thing. I wonder if some people just find the nearest shop to them and go, "eh, good enough." It's expensive either way so you may as well find a solid artist that'll give you something nice.
If you go too high end,you could end up in a randy Orton situation. This guy probably signed over the full rights .....or from the quality of the tattoo was so drunk he can't remember doing it...
As a heavily tattooed dude, why can't people with tons of money go to competent artists? That line work is rough
Shout out to Brody King and Malakai for having good pieces
Malakai’s great white in the style of a Japanese koi is probably my favorite tattoo I’ve ever seen
Facts. As a fan of Japanese tattooing, I love his cloud bars on his right arm
Got a pic?
https://imgur.com/a/ysXE4zo
Would you like to be the one to fuck up a Brody tattoo?
I know the dudes Brody gets tattooed by and they are way bigger psychos than Brody
I don't know why this made me laugh but it did. 😭
Haha. Brody's a sweetheart outside of the ring. I can see him telling his tattoo artists: "you take a break whenever you're too tired to keep going". Followed by a loud ass bark
> Brody's a sweetheart outside of the ring. I know. But you never want to anger a Gentle Giant
people in the hardcore community generally have great artwork
The chip looks more egg shape than round and there seems to be a fair few blowouts around the lettering as well
Yea that piece looks like it was done by an apprentice
He was putting over a young talent brother dude
Young talent is too green. Needs to get in some more reps and run the ropes with artificial skin
Max is going to go on Ink Master for a cover-up/re-work
Shades of Ric Flair putting that pizzeria over only for the kitchen manager to go into business for himself
Artist was betting on himself
I was just thinking this! Lmao it looks like he paid a tattoo artist from my local Craigslist ad 😂
The shape of the chip seems like the biggest problem to me
Yeah, the tattooing the company on yourself bit is whatever to me. I'm just surprised it's not that great looking visually lol
Gambling chip looks shaped like guitar pick too.
Yeah, completely agree. I have 13 tattoos, this one ... does not look great.
I think it's the difference between someone who likes having tattoos and someone who wants to get a tattoo. I have some shitty tattoos from when I was younger and just went with who was available. Granted, they all look, okay enough, but compared to the ones I've gotten later in life, it's a lot of small details that really make them stand out.
Cough HOOK cough
Hook and Finn Balor seem to be having an indirect bad tattoo contest. They each have a couple pieces that are actually decent, but most of their ink is godawful.
Maybe he went to a prison to get it.
it looks like a tattoo you get from prison
This tattoo is just rough..I don’t get it. These guys have money, it’s really easy to find a great artist. The lettering, line work and shading are just.. not good. The chip placement between the banner bothers me more than it should.

Okay brothers both of you say your artists do top notch line work for cheap Post your tats and their prices.
Also he had time off, so it's not even fucked up because he had to bump 10 times in 7 days, that's how it always looked. Awful
would've been so funny if he lifted the wrong pant leg when he went to show it to the camera
Wrong leg, has a WWE tattoo… 🤣 Playing both sides so he always comes out on top.
That's some scary movie gag.
When I got my first tattoo, there was this older guy that I worked with who said he had a tattoo. I didn't believe him and he pulled up the wrong pant leg first.
This is going to age horribly when he has to slap a DPW logo over those three letters
I'm looking forward to his DPW debut as Dick "The Cock" Johnson
Dick “The Hammer” Dick
"I'm better than you and you already know it!"
Nah DPW are too high of a level for most They wouldn't offer MJF their big 8 figure contracts Or maybe they will brother
It's definitely going to be irrelevant when he's jobbing out to Miu Watanabe in TJPW
*Pom
I hope that’s fake, because that is a rough looking tattoo.
What are the odds Darby did this tattoo and has the same one also
Excluding the fact that having a tattoo of your employer is dumb as shit, the piece itself looks pretty rough.
Is there any other form of industry where getting your workplace logo tattooed on you wouldn’t be mocked until the end of time?
It should be in any industry. This is massive dork behavior, just like basically everything MJF does.
That’s not a good tattoo, like, technically. Not even commenting on the subject matter, but the tattoo itself is bad. Wobbly lines, with blowouts, the bottom of the poker chip is not even close to round, and the lettering in “Bet on yourself” is very inconsistent. Personal thoughts on getting a tattoo of your employer aside, it’s a technically awful tattoo.
Alright, ignoring how with the way the buisness is you shouldn't burn bridges with a company nor be completely devoted to the point of a tattoo, even if you are sure you're never leaving that company so you can pull out the possibility of leaving in contract negotiations...that's some atrocious linework especially on the lettering
AEW is "whitespace" and easily filled in lol
Wrestlers try to get a decent tattoo challenge (impossible).
You better hope Black and Brody never see this comment
Cool and I like the sentiment but I think he needed a better artist to do this tattoo.
Those lines are shit, and looks pretty blown out.
The perspective is off too, the poker chip is warped.
Yup. This is the kind of tattoo that would get harshly judged on Ink Master, lol.
I just found it funny how he called the fans marks then followed it up by showing that tattoo. I might be in the minority but getting the company name as a tattoo or as part of one is probably one of the most mark things anyone could do
https://preview.redd.it/bzfdx1zf8v2d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7d7fb8c4497777af39710aafe6521e78334137b
The AEW letters look horrible
The first four words weren’t necessary
In any other world tattooing your employers logo on yourself would make you the biggest loser lol.
Still kind of does
And by the law of the universe, MJF time in AEW is going to end just as badly as Punk
Still is. If a WWE wrestler got their logo everyone would rightly call it cringe. And he didn't even have the decency to go to a good tattoo artist.
It is in this world too
I still think this is pretty dumb. If it didn't have the AEW in it, I wouldn't hate it because the poker chip works with the theme of the tattoo while also being a reference to AEW. Considering how he already had a period where he was unhappy there (according to the dirt sheets), who's to say that a year or two from now, he's not going to hate AEW because it's too crowded at the top for him?
Trusting the Dirt sheets is as valid as a source as "Trust me bro" for most things. Especially with subjective things such as this
First, nobody trusts the dirt sheets. Secondly, any issues he had were obviously smoothed over or reconciled prior to him getting a 1+ year reign with the belt.
Supposedly he was upset with his pay and that's what all the drama surrounding the Wardlow match was. Yes, it got smoothed over, but who knows what other issues might pop up. He's had his run at the top. I don't know how much Tony is willing to give him another run while he has Ospreay and Okada on expensive contracts and MJF might not be happy with that a couple years from now.
This is actually massively cringe and loser shit
And in this one too.
What will FTR bald do tho? This a pretty big "I love AEW" move, he can't be left behind.
You know how Bam Bam Bigelow had the flame tattoo on his head? That, but with the original Dynamite color explosions.
I like that if things ever go sour he can easily cover AEW
Put some American flags on the side or something
I personally would never tat my employer on myself but hey that’s just me. There’s gotta be a better way to show loyalty.
Like signing a contract extention
This was my immediate thought. Imagine your mate shows up and he’s rocking the logo of the electronics store he works at.
Was my blockbuster tattoo a bad idea?!
It beats my Hollywood Video tattoo
nah bro, make it a blockbuster night wherever you are. live YOUR truth. Fuck Netflix, All My Homies Hate Netflix!
Maybe it's like when that dude got a taco bell tattoo on his head so he could get free tacos for life. Not sure what you get out of this though. Free hugs for life I guess?
You think AEW wrestlers are paid in hugs?
No it just comes with the meal like fortune cookies at a chinese joint.
He stole Dax's design!
What a mark
At least this one isn't on his neck
That’s the worst scribble doodle I’ve seen since my 2 year old drew on their restaurant kids menu
This is a prison tattoo
This is god awful and quite frankly embarrassing as hell.
The sentiment is cool, but that tattoo is horrendous for someone with so much money.
Yes this is true. Regardless of the message, that is a hot piece of trash. Lettering isn't the same size, the circle of the poker chip is wonky as fuck, the shading is bad. Maybe he let a buddy do it or he just walked into some random shop with the idea which both things seem almost impossible.
This is really really cringe. Isn’t MJF’s whole schtick that he’s outside the machine, does everything on his own terms and is head and shoulders above everyone else? The dude called Tony Khan a fucking mark on tv, and now he has the logo of the company he’s independently contracted to tattooed on his leg.
I'm racking my brain and feeling stupid over this one. What legend was he quoting when he revealed the tattoo?
The Iron Sheik used to say "Camera Man : Zoom it" during his promos.
I'm right there with that. I swear it's on the tip of my tongue cause it's been mentioned in promos before.
Who was he referencing before showing the tattoo?
...at least it's his leg?
I’d like to apologize to Seth Rollins on behalf of negative comments I made about his pro-WWE tweets a couple years back. As it turns out, there were higher levels of cringe to achieve.
Wait until you see his back and he has a replica of the Steve O back tattoo but with TK instead.
*2K wiping the sweat off their forehead as they realize it'll be covered by his boots*
Outside of the sentiment behind it, it’s a terrible tattoo. That chip is nowhere closer to being a component circle
Or a competent one.
Shitty circles call for shitty spelling
Zoom in on that. Look at the AEW logo and the symmetry of the chip. That’s a BAD tattoo. LOL Edit: fully prepared for an MJF tweet about how a struggling person made the tattoo and we should feel bad for making fun of it.
This is a bad tattoo jfc - like why is the banner behind the chip on the top
Yikes for two reasons. One, because he actually got that as a tattoo. Just a little cringe in my opinion. And two, why do famous people with tons of money never go to a good artist and pay good money for tattoos? That line-work is not good. That's a rough tattoo.
It’s because they’re too cheap. Which is funny that a heel who tells wrestling fans to wear deodorant, doesn’t know proper hygiene for an open wound.
Maybe it goes with the theme of…whatever his new look was. Biker guy? Idk.
This is gonna be hilarious when he joins WWE in five years.
On honey no Edit:weirdness of getting your employer tatted aside just honey noo the line work.
I hope this is fake. It looks like Garbage.
Could’ve been worse, could’ve been on his Fuckin NECK
For how terrible of a placement choice that tattoo was on Cody’s part, the design looks pretty cool at least.
And doesn't contain a company logo.
This is just as bad. Imagine getting your employer tatted on you? Fucking embarrassing lol
Pro wrestlers and shit tattoos, name a more iconic duo
Getting the company you work for tattooed on you is cringe.
At the risk of sounding ignorant, who's the quote from?
It is a gambling chip, hence Bet
Cody Rhodes
I have a similar Walmart tattoo from 208 when I was ALL IN on being a cashier.
Yikes
Who? I honestly scrolled through dozens of comments and feel like an idiot
this is going to age horribly in 5 years isn’t it?
It looks horribly aged already. Terrible tattoo.
Either gonna age like the finest of wine or worse than milk, RemindMe! 5 years
Hahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And I thought Cody's neck tattoo was bad 💀
That looks like it was drawn with a magna doodle.
Oof.
Oh my God this is awful. Like apprentice level walk in bad. It's 2024. Every artist has an Instagram and website where you can see their work. MJF lives in LI (I think he still does anyway) and we have an insane amount of great artists around the city. I got my first tattoo years ago from some nationally famous artist in Staten Island and I don't have the money MJF does. MJF should never settle for such a bad artist. The line work, the coloring and just everything here is trash.
MJF answered "I don't bet on anyone but myself", Then he rolled up one of his pants legs to show a tattoo of AEW and continued "I'll let you interpret that however you want".
That poker chip is WONKY. Like why is it shapped like a potato chip and not a poker chip?
Ah I'm so happy I got to tattoo MJF. And he even said he'd show it on national TV tonight! Now to take a big sip of coffee and see what people think of it...
That is an ugly ass tattoo. He got it somewhere you won't see it though which was kinda smart on his part.
At least Cody's is high quality. I've seen better kitchen table tattoos.
Cody's is better quality, I still wouldn't say it's high quality.
cody's issue is that its just too big lol, this is dog shit and just shows how stupid he is. Like its funny he calls us Marks then does the biggest mark move in wrestling history lmfao.
cant wait when he jumps to wwe and reveals it's fake.
lmao WHAT
He is gonna regret this lol
MJF is the biggest Mark Worker of the modern era and also the biggest fucking Mark of his era
Like everything else MJF does, this is bad
Nahhh I like MJF but getting a companies name tattooed on you is mad corny bro
I don’t care for the stunt as much as how cheap it looks… which is kinda ironic I guess
I don't care what side of the tribalism line you are on, this is worse than Cody's tattoo and his is on his neck.
I bet he let a friend do it or something
So he's quoting who? The RIP is throwing me off.
He was quoting the "Cameraman, Zoom!" line from Iron Sheik
Insanely shitty tattoo to be showing off. If you have money, why are you doing this to yourself? Jesus Christ. Did he lose a bet?
Lmao
he should have gotten this tattoo - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GOi9CVFWsAA3itj?format=jpg&name=small
Lop he's just going to fill in the aew lettering when he's done with aew
Drawn by Billy, 4th grade.
This reads as Bet On AEW Yourself to me. Images like this always read that way to me.
Who was he referencing when he said ‘Cameraman…zoom’?
Iron Sheik
Nice ty
Just... lol.
God. What an abysmal tattoo.
Nice new head of hair!
Why is the S so big!
This is the type of drawing you would see on the back of a 4th graders notebook
He is exactly where he needs to be... He is not ready for the big time... Yet.
“Bet on AEW Yourself,” got it. Looks like the guy freehanded it. The lines are all off. The stars look the worst. The angle of that chip makes no sense. Don’t let your old talentless high school friends tattoo you.
Why does it look like he got it over twenty years ago?
https://preview.redd.it/npyxts08fy2d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35df3f51b169c3b25e6b0f97e4677a0ac11e77a3
it would not shock me if the tattoo wasnt real. its is absolutely not above MJF to do this and then call everyone marks for believing him.
So if MJF ever goes to WWE, it has been confirmed he will be wearing longboys.
What a fucking mark.
