The boxing legend Mike Tyson got a tribal tattoo on his face in 2003. His initial plan was to get hearts tattooed on his face, to show that he was the ‘The Man of Hearts’. His tattoo artist was against this idea and suggested this tattoo instead. Tyson loved the design and what it portrayed, the sign of a brave warrior. On 1st April 2013, Mike Tyson took to Twitter to share his tattoo removal plans, “At the doctors office this morning. Getting this tattoo removed from my face. This is going to be painful.” But turns out it was an April Fool’s Joke! Tyson continues to rock his face tattoo.
Tyson frequently ran into trouble with police over his petty criminal activities, and by age 13, he had been arrested more than 30 times. His bad behavior landed him in the Tryon School for Boys, a reform school in upstate New York. At Tryon, Tyson met counselor Bob Stewart, who had been an amateur boxing champion. Tyson wanted Stewart to teach him how to use his fists. Stewart reluctantly agreed, on the condition that Tyson would stay out of trouble and work harder in school.
But right now it’s time to get to work. The warehouse where Tyson has set up his camp is next to the headquarters of the Las Vegas Raiders, and team owner Mark Davis is letting Tyson use the space, which is minutes away from Tyson’s house. Perhaps not coincidentally, the color scheme is very Raiders. A tall black curtain separates the training area, with its black-and-silver weight equipment, from the rest of the more-than-15,000-square-foot structure and contrasts with the white walls and ceilings. On one wall and hanging above the ring are black-and-white signs that read mike tyson boxing club. Behind a rack of dumbbells, there’s a large black-and-white poster board with a photo of Tyson—hands wrapped, towel over his head—and a quote from the former heavyweight champ himself: “Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it.”
Joyce said, “I’m just disappointed with my performance. The hand kept hitting me, and I couldn’t get out of the way. So, respect to Zhilei Zhang. It was a good fight, but I think I could have done better.
Tekashi 6ix9ine may be as well known for his face tattoos as he is for his music. The rapper, who is currently facing some serious prison time for charges ranging from armed robbery to conspiracy to commit murder, has his trademark “69” tattoo above his eye, as well as a variety of other ink on his face. He added to his collection of face tattoos site in yahoo.com late 2018, adding “Brooklyn” to his upper forehead as an homage to the borough where he grew up.
Tyson’s face tattoo has sparked countless conversations, debates, and even controversy. It challenges the status quo and invites people to question their own perceptions of beauty and self-expression.
On June 12, 2011, Tyson was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame alongside legendary Mexican champion Julio César Chávez, light welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu, and actor/screenwriter Sylvester Stallone. In 2011, Bleacher Report omitted Tyson from its list of top 10 heavyweights, saying that “Mike Tyson is not a top 10 heavyweight. He killed the fighters he was supposed to beat, but when he fought another elite fighter, he always lost. I’m not talking about some of those B-level fighters he took a belt from. I’m talking about the handful of good boxers he fought throughout his career.”
Justin Bieber is also famous for his tattoos. The artist behind the hit songs Baby, Yummy, and Lonely has over 50+ tattoos all over his body. Most of these tattoos are on his chest, arms, and legs. But one tattoo, in particular, has been the center of excitement and confusion. In November 2018, tattoo artist Jonboy posted a picture of Justin with the word ‘grace’ tattooed in delicate lettering above his right eyebrow. It is believed that Justin got this as part of a couple’s tattoos with his now-wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber. And while the reasons behind the move are still unclear, it appears that Justin got rid of the tattoo within a few months. The tattoo is no longer visible on any of his recent social media posts.
When did Mike Tyson get his tattoo and showed it to the public for the first time, it elicited a wide range of reactions. Some praised the boldness and uniqueness of the design, while others criticized it as unconventional or even controversial.
The Spencer’s moved to Northern California in 2016, where they worked at the gym of 2011 Trainer Of The Year Virgil Hunter in Hayward, Calif. The younger Spencer also had access to two-division world champion Andre Ward.
Washington herself testified that Tyson had “called her around 1:45 a.m. to tour the city, then picked her up in his limo, took her back to his room, and made small talk as they both sat on the bed.” After propositioning her for sex, Washington stated that she firmly refused and went to use the bathroom before leaving. “After using the bathroom, she said, she noticed some discharge on her panty shield. Washington said she removed the liner and threw it away.” When she came out, “Tyson then pulled her to the bed, pinned her down and raped her, she testified. “He was mean, evil,” she said. “I got on top and started to try to get away, but he slammed me down again.””. “Three days after the assault, Washington went to the police and accused Tyson of rape.” Partial corroboration of Washington’s story came via testimony from Tyson’s chauffeur, Virginia Foster, who confirmed Desiree Washington’s “state of shock” after the incident. Foster also testified that Tyson had previously attempted to sexually assault her too, having “lured her to his hotel room, tried to touch her, and then exposed himself”. Further testimony came from the emergency room physician, Dr. Thomas Richardson, who examined Washington after the incident and confirmed that Washington’s physical condition was consistent with rape. Richardson testified that Washington had suffered “two small vaginal abrasions, consistent with 20 to 30 percent of the injuries seen in sexual assault cases”, and that in approximately 20,000 cases over a period of 20 years, “only twice had he ever seen such abrasions following consensual sex.”
