I did a post last year on Sak Yant, or Thai Temple Tattoo’s. I’ve noticed at my camp, nearly all of us have some sort of ink. Every once and a while I catch myself wanting another. Any of you guys tatted up? It seems like most nak muay’s I’ve seen training in Bangkok have some sort of ink.
So I came across this one the other day… Click the picture to see who it belongs to. Dude’s got abs just like me.
Exactly… you tell him it’s a dumb tattoo, I dare you. For those of you who don’t know that’s none other then Dutch Muay Thai and MMA Badass, Melvin Manhoef. You might remember he was recently in the Top 10 K-1 KO’s vid. I’m pretty sure Ruslan was the latest notch on his tattoo. If you missed the fight you can watch it here.
The guy is mad intimidating to begin with despite having a name like Melvin. It’s can’t help the nerves to have to stare at that before doing battle. What about you guys? Any tats for intimidation?

I prefer video game tattoos because I do my best fighting in the virtual world.
On the cereal tip, I think the tattoos should at least mean something to you besides being a tough guy and all around asskicker.

I would definitely get a tattoo when I was in BKK. This is just so awesome:
