'Suga' Sean O'Malley
Sean O'Malley is a man of his word ... "Suga" said he'd get a tattoo to commemorate winning the UFC Bantamweight title, and that's exactly what he did!
28-year-old O'Malley revealed the new ink, located on the right side of his forehead, on social media this weekend. The face tattoo reads:
CHAMP
MMXXIII
CHAMPION INKMMXXIII is the year ... M is 1000, X is 10, I is 1. 2023.
The new artwork isn't a surprise. While talking with the media afterward, Sean said ... "I might get 'CHAMP' on my face somewhere."
It's not Sean's first face tattoo. He already has his nickname, "SUGA" and a "👑" on his face.
GettyOf course, O'Malley won the belt at UFC 292 ... when he beat Aljamain Sterling by 2nd round TKO.
TMZ Sports talked to O'Malley last week, a few days after he secured the title and just before he got the tattoo, and chopped it up about everything from his next opponent (Chito, Cejudo, Sandhagen, Merab, Pantoja) to his future in acting.

Harry Styles Sign of the Tatted Times Olivia, Wherefore Art Thigh?!?
7/30/2023 1:23 PM PT
Gallery Ode to Olivia Launch Gallery BackgridHarry Styles is sailing off into the sunset after wrapping his nearly 2-year-long tour -- but it seems he can't quite shake everything that came with it ... like, perhaps, Olivia Wilde.
The singer is still out in Italy, enjoying a little R&R after completing his final show in Reggio Emilia. On Friday, he went on a little boat trip on a lake in Bolsena -- where he and some pals (James Corden included) were soaking up the sun. And, yes ... HS went shirtless.
BackgridBesides the fact that he's got a ripped bod, he's also got a ton of tattoos all over his torso. More importantly, though, he has leg tats as well -- one in particular here stands out.
Peep ... it's ink on his thigh, of all places, and it clearly reads "Olivia." There's another word right underneath that, but it's harder to make out what that one is, or what the connection is. Of course, for the Olivia tat ... folks are obviously assuming it's related to his recent ex.
BackgridThere's another possible explanation ... in 2015, One Direction put out a song called 'Olivia,' so this could be related to that. Considering we haven't seen this tat on him before, though -- many are speculating it's fairly recent. If it is ... well, that's certainly interesting.
As you know ... Harry and Olivia dated for the better part of a year or so, and they seemed head over heels for quite a long time. Of course, their relationship wasn't without drama.
Gallery Harry Styles Ex's Launch Gallery GettySeeing how Harry dating Olivia caused a lot of strife (at least among his fans) ... ya gotta wonder if he'll have this removed at some point -- again, assuming it is in fact related to her.
Then again ... maybe he never looks back for this sort of thing. No ragrets, right?

LaMarcus Aldridge New Back Tattoo ... The Joker's On Me!!!
7/9/2023 12:30 AM PT
Getty/ortega_inkLaMarcus Aldridge just got a new massive back tattoo featuring an image of the Joker ... and check it out -- it's so seriously awesome!!!
The former NBA star hit up Andres Ortega and his Onder Ink team last month to get the piece done ... and after sitting under the needle for 10 hours, most of the backside of the hooper's 6'11" frame was completely covered in ink.
Play video content
INTENSE INKOn the bottom of the tattoo, Aldridge got Batman's nemesis tatted because, according to Ortega, the former San Antonio Spurs forward said there was a time in his life when nobody believed in him -- and this was his way of laughing at those detractors.
Aldridge also got images of a lion and its cub to represent the relationship he has with one of his children. The skyline of Dallas -- Aldridge's hometown -- was also added to the top of the artwork.
@ortega_inkThe 7-time NBA All-Star got his jersey No. 12 inked too ... and Ortega tells TMZ Sports he added religious imagery to honor his faith as well as family members who have passed.
Aldridge was clearly thrilled with the piece -- he posed for a bunch of pics showing it all off afterward!

FOREVER LINKED THROUGH INKDennis Rodman's girlfriend says the NBA legend's new face tattoo featuring a portrait of her was not her idea at all ... explaining to TMZ Sports that when he first told her he wanted to get it, she thought he was "crazy!!!"
Rodman and his GF, Yella Yella, spoke all about the new artwork roughly 24 hours after the former Bulls star got it done ... and the two made it clear to us, The Worm wasn't influenced by anyone other than himself when he decided to get the ink put on his cheek.
"I actually told him not to do it," Yella Yella said. "I'm like, 'What're you doing!'"
Rodman, though, said he was full-go on the idea once it popped into his head ... explaining, "This is my last dance with a woman."
"She's very lovely," he added. "And I thank her for loving me the way I am -- and that's why I did it for her."

Pirates Star Oneil Cruz Gets Awesome New Tat ... I Put Me On Me!!!
7/2/2023 12:20 AM PT
Getty CompositeThere will be two versions of Oneil Cruz out on the diamond when the Pirates star makes his return later this season ... TMZ Sports has learned he just got a few new tattoos put on his body -- including one of himself!!
We're told the Pittsburgh shortstop -- who's been out since April while dealing with a broken leg -- wanted to commemorate his meteoric first few seasons in the Big Leagues with some tats ... so he hit up Jaime Ortiz to get the art put down.
The 24-year-old baseball player -- regarded as one of the brightest young stars in the sport -- sought to get a photo of himself, a lion, and an MLB ball ... and Ortiz certainly delivered.
Check out the images -- the super realistic lion and the tat of Ortiz sit side by side on Cruz's (ultra valuable!) right shoulder. The photo of the baseball, meanwhile, was placed on one of his forearms.
Ortiz, a Zen Ink Tattoos artist, tells us ... Cruz wanted the lion because it symbolizes leadership and being a protector -- while maintaining humility at the same time. The image of Cruz in a Pirates jersey, Ortiz said, represents a reminder of his roots and his prime.
As for the baseball, Ortiz tells us that was "all about his passion to the game!"
"It describes it all by itself," he added.
Cruz sat for 14 hours over two days to get it all done ... and he was clearly thrilled with the end result, posting it to his social media page earlier this week.

NEW INKAs for when fans will be able to get to see it all in person during a game ... it shouldn't be too long from now -- Cruz is expected to make his long-awaited comeback to Pittsburgh sometime in August!

NFL's Nakobe Dean Goes Big For First Tattoo!!! ... Tributes To Scarface, Mississippi
7/1/2023 12:30 AM PT
Getty CompositeSay "hello" to Nakobe Dean's BIG friend -- the Philadelphia Eagles star just got a brand-new tattoo ... complete with tributes to Scarface and his home state of Mississippi!!
TMZ Sports has learned ... the former Georgia Bulldogs linebacker wanted to go all-out for his first ink piece, so he commissioned artist Daniel Czar of "Czar Studios -- The Lounge" in New Jersey for the job.
Czar tells us the half-back tat was done over a 2-day period ... which added up to about 8 hours of work.
Play video content
NEW INKThe piece includes objects that symbolize Nakobe's upbringing in Mississippi ... such as a magnolia and a road sign that reads "Tunica County."
The part that stands out the most has to be the blimp that's etched along Nakobe's right shoulder, which reads "The World Is Yours."
Of course, anyone who's seen the classic Al Pacino classic will be quick to recognize what that's from.
Play video content
GOIN' ALL OUTEven though it was Nakobe's first tat, Czar praised the guy for taking it like a champ ... saying, "He seemed pretty confident going into it. And he actually sat super well for it."
"A lot of people come in and get their first tattoo and they're super nervous and antsy. He was ready to go, so I was super proud of him."
Instagram@danczar_In fact, Czar -- who's done work for names like Johnny Manziel, Corey Clement and Jalen Mills -- tells us Nakobe's ready for his next tat ... and he's looking to fill out the rest of his back with art down the road.
As it turns out, Nakobe's Eagles teammate, Kenneth Greenwell, is the one who recommended he go to Czar ... and the artist plans to work with a lot more Philly players moving forward.

AEW's Darby Allin Gets Insane Head & Neck Tattoo ... Shows Off New Ink!!

NO PAIN, NO GAINDarby Allin's rockin' a new look ... the AEW star showed off his brand new head and neck tattoo, and the finished product, which took 45 to 50 hours to complete, like the stunts he pulls off in and outside the ring, is jaw-dropping!
Allin hit up Atlanta-based tattoo artist Caleb Morgan ... who performed the intricate work on Darby. The tattoo took numerous sessions to complete, and runs from the side of his face and head, down to his shoulder and arm, all the way to his hand.
Caleb says the tattoo (which he described as an atmospheric extension of Allin's personality) was truly a collaborative work -- Darby had a vision, and he refined it with Morgan's help.
Play video content
INKED UPThe new black and gray tat was visible on Wednesday's episode of "AEW Dynamite" when Allin saved AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy from a beatdown, with help from Sting.
The tattoo, particularly the neck section, looks like it'd be incredibly painful -- thankfully Allin, who just competed in the biggest match of his career (a Fatal 4-way), clearly has a high pain tolerance.
It's not Darby's first tattoo. The new piece seems to now complete a large tattoo that runs from Allin's cheek, all the way down his arm to his wrist.

Doja Cat Gets New Bat Skeleton Tattoo After Demonic-Looking Tat
5/5/2023 7:23 AM PT
Doja Cat is raising eyebrows with her taste in tattoos, lately ... and the brand new ink on her back -- a huge bat skeleton -- is sure to do the same!
Doja posted a series of shots Thursday, flaunting her new back tat, and just to complete the motif, her caption also included the bat emoji and got kinda deep ... in a batty way.
It appears to be a quote from an animal symbolism website that reads ... "Bats often represent death in the sense of letting go of the old, and bringing in the new. They are symbols of transition, of initiation, and the start of a new beginning."
Hmm ... no mention of rabies or coronaviruses.
Of course, the new tat comes less than a month after Doja showed off a demonic-looking monster tatted on her forearm ... which had some folks concerned about the singer.
However, DC quickly responded by essentially saying screw the haters and conspiracy theories -- "If ur calling me demonic honestly werk cuz like i love that u ate fr."

RICH THE REQUESTERDoja Cat was in an upbeat, trolling mood Monday when she gave her followers the tiniest music preview imaginable of her upcoming rap album.
A giggling Doja went live on IG and breezed through 25 tracks ... but only played 2-second snippets of each song, barely giving the opening chords time to breathe and never letting a beat fully drop.
It might sound like a torturous exercise, but her audience ate it up anyway ... as did Rich The Kid, who's dying to guest on the album!!!
Instagram / @dojacatThe song array sounded diverse, indeed, but fans won't be able to know for sure until she pops the lid off the project ... which is tentatively being called "Hellmouth."
Doja also addressed her new tattoo of a half-female, half-mythological creature, and after seeing pics, many fans are labeling it demonic.

INK SNEAK PEAKThe portrait actually comes from Italian physician Fortunio Liceti’s 1616 artwork "De Monstris" a.k.a. "monsters" and Doja explained most of her tats are simply an appreciation of the art and have no real meaning to her.

TWO-WAY TATSLas Vegas Raiders star, Darren Waller pulled up to the 2023 Pro Bowl with some new tats you absolutely could not miss ... because they were both on the sides of his head!!
The NFL tight end got the scalp ink on Saturday while the Pro Bowl games were going down at Allegiant Stadium ... and TMZ Sports has learned he flew out his go-to guy, Kali from Atlanta, to make sure it was all done right.
You can see in one of the pieces, there's an angel playing the trumpet. In the other, there's a falcon taking flight. Both are HUGE -- occupying most of the 30-year-old's cranium.
No word on what the images mean to Waller ... but Kali, who has done basically all of the tats on Waller, tells us the football player didn't complain once while the ink was going into his head.
"Sat like a champ," Kali tells us. "Always does."
GettyKali said it took a total of three hours to do the overall head piece -- and, when it comes to the healing process, the artist said it'll be just like any other tattoo ... as long as it's kept clean and moisturized.
Good thing for Darren is it's the offseason for the Raiders ... which means he doesn't have to worry about putting on a helmet for another few months.

TATTOO TIME!!!Britney Spears has clear regrets ... about a tattoo, and about her ex, Justin Timberlake -- she's even posting throwback pics of him -- which can't feel great for her husband, Sam Asghari.
She posted a video of herself getting inked up while in Maui, but never revealed the finished product. As Brit put it, "Can’t show it because it sucks 😂😂😂 !!! Like really really sucks !!! S–t 🙈🙈🙈 !!!”
GettyThat's probably exactly what Sam is saying about the Justin pics Brit posted right before her tattoo video. They were throwbacks to JT and Brit in 2001 wearing matching basketball jerseys, and the caption said, "When we used to shoot hoops TOGETHER … that’s when miracles happened."
It wasn't all gushing, though ... she also said, "I came out of my mom’s stomach just like we all did !!! Psss … why always cast me out ??? I’m equal as all !!!"

Brandon Marshall Ex-Jets Star Gets Patriots Tattoo ... After Losing Bet To Edelman
11/23/2022 6:38 AM PT
Brandon Marshall will now have the New England Patriots logo etched into his arm FOR LIFE ... and it's all 'cause of a silly bet he made with Julian Edelman last week.
The two former wideouts placed the wager on the set of "Inside the NFL" back on Friday -- two days before their ex-teams went head-to-head at Gillette Stadium.
The deal was simple -- if the Jets win, Edelman gets NY ink. If they lose, Marshall gets branded.
Brandon Marshall (@BMarshall) & Julian Edelman (@Edelman11) made a tattoo bet this week on the #Jets, #Patriots game. If NYJ wins, Jules is getting the #TakeFlight logo on him + if NE wins, BM is getting the #ForeverNE logo on him 😳: 🎥 @insidetheNFL #NYJvsNE @nyjets @Patriots pic.twitter.com/51IQ3P0cRb
— Paul Andrew Esden Jr (@BoyGreen25) November 19, 2022 @BoyGreen25As you know, the Patriots pulled out the win Sunday with an improbable, last-second 84-yard punt return ... and when it came time for Edelman to collect this week, Marshall paid up.
The 38-year-old, who made the Pro Bowl with the Jets in 2015, sat in a chair on the "Inside the NFL" set and took the needle to his right forearm.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
View this post on InstagramEdelman gloated about it all afterward on his social media page ... writing, "A bets a bet. And @bmarshall is a man of his word. Thanks for saving me @patriots."
GettyIn even better news for Julian -- the Patriots don't play the Jets again this season, so it appears he's safe from any sort of retribution from Marshall.
Then again, the former wideout did play for the Dolphins as well -- and they are slated to play against New England on Jan. 1.
So ... feelin' lucky, Jules?!?
