While DaMarques has quite a few tattoos that we could look at, today we're going to focus on the flower he has on his shoulder.  The colors are just lovely and the placement is perfect.  I can't tell if it's a cover-up of the skulls on his arm or if it's part of a piece.  Regardless, me likey.

There are 2 main reasons why I love this tattoo.

1.  His heavily tattooed torso and neck shows a complete lack of regard for society and its dictates which I find delightful.

2.  If I ever brought a man home to meet my family who is as tattooed as Mike Nichols is, the absolute horror on my father's face would be worth years of laughter and joy.  

Jimmy Smith is currently one of the commentators for Bellator, and also did commentary for the M-1 Challenge.  However, he may be more familiar to you as one of the two stars/hosts (with Doug Anderson) of Fight Quest.  Great show, btw, even if it only made it one season.  Any fight fan should check it out if they get a chance.  The tat is of the Hindu deity Ganesh.  It has, according to Smith, taken 44 hours to get to this point - and it's obviously still unfinished.  I just love the complexity and the detail.  Awesome work, awesome tat.

Since he singlehandedly turned the MMA world on it's head last weekend, we thought we'd give Werdum's dragon tattoo a shout out.  

Since this is NSFW-ish (unless you work in a strip club or in the porn industry, in which case bare butts are fine), we have the pictures after the jump.

I would love to know what this means.  If it was a white dude, he'd probably think it meant "Strength, Honor, Courage" but it would really mean "I like happy clowns" or something like that.  Also, does anyone else think that this picture looks like a mug shot?

Satarma nominated Toby Imada for this week's tattoo of the week.  He's apparently got a thing with snakes, as they feature prominently in two of his tattoos.  I'm all about the placement of them, but I personally can't get down with anything having to do with snakes.  The only thing that scares me more than snakes is carnies (name that movie).  

Toby fights Pat Curran for the Bellator lightweight title tomorrow, and we really hope he's able to strike down his opponent.  Yes, that really did just happen.
