Man, I’ve always been a huge fan of Jon Jones, not just for his crazy skills in the octagon but also for his whole vibe, you know? And those tattoos of his, they’re a big part of that. So, I decided to dive deep into his ink, figure out what they mean, and maybe, just maybe, get one myself inspired by the champ.
First off, I started by just looking at pictures of him. I watched tons of his fights, interviews, the whole shebang. I paused videos, zoomed in on photos, trying to get a good look at his tattoos. The most noticeable one, and the one that really caught my eye, was the “Philippians 4:13” across his chest. I mean, it’s huge! It’s right there, you can’t miss it.
Then, I hit the internet. I read articles, scrolled through forums, trying to find out the story behind this tattoo. It turns out, it’s a Bible verse: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” That’s pretty powerful stuff. But it’s not just a random verse for him. I found out that it was his sister Carmen’s favorite. She passed away from brain cancer, and this was his way of remembering her. Man, that hit me hard. It’s not just ink on his skin; it’s a tribute to someone he loved.
- I spent hours just researching the meaning of this one tattoo.
- I read about his sister, about their bond.
- I even looked up the Bible verse itself, trying to understand it better.
After digging deeper, I realized that this wasn’t just a cool tattoo; it represented strength, faith, and family. All things that resonate with me. It made me respect Jon Jones even more, not just as a fighter but as a person.
Thinking about getting a tattoo
So, this whole journey got me thinking. Maybe I should get a tattoo inspired by this. Not the exact same one, of course, but something that carries the same meaning for me. Something that represents my own strength, my own faith, and my own family. Now, I’m in the process of figuring out what that tattoo would be.
It’s not just about copying Jon Jones. It’s about finding something meaningful for me, something that I can carry with me, just like he carries his sister’s memory with him. It’s a personal journey, and I’m excited to see where it takes me. I’ll keep you guys updated on my tattoo journey. Let me know what you think of my tattoo plan so far!
