Mike Tyson's tattoos
Contents:
I must say that there are several tattoos on Mike Tyson's body. The very first he began to do while still in prison, where he spent some period of his life. On the body of the former boxer, you can make out portraits of Mao Zedong, Ernesto Che Guevara and Arthur Nash (a black tennis player).
But the greatest interest is always attracted by Mike's most visible and discussed tattoo - a pattern on his face. Tyson became, perhaps, the first star of this magnitude who dared to get a tattoo on the most noticeable part of his body. Mike Tyson's tattoo on his face sparked a flurry of discussions, culminating in the release of the film Bachelor Party in Vegas 2.
The boxer appeared in both parts of the American comedy, where he played himself. In the second part, one of the main characters of the film had exactly the same tattoo. This fact caused a scandal when the author of Tyson's tattoo saw this copyright infringement, demanding to cancel the release of the film and give him a kilogram of bags of money in addition.
According to various tabloids and the press, Mike Tyson's face tattoo refers to traditional images of the Maori tribe... We talked a lot about tribal tattoos in the corresponding section. There are very few specialists in such symbols in the world. It is known that in the tribes of New Zealand and the adjacent islands, most of the inhabitants have similar tattoos, including on the face. Each of them tells a story about its owner: genealogy, family affiliation, profession.
According to other data Tyson's face tattoo has nothing to do with Maori culture and has no direct meaning. The boxer himself said that he never liked the way his face looked, and with a tattoo he likes it much more.
