Okay, so I got super curious about why Sean O’Malley covered up that tattoo on his bicep. You know, the one that used to say “Only God Can Judge Me.” Dude’s got a bunch of ink, and I wanted to know the story behind this particular cover-up. I mean he covered up the “can judge me”.
First, I tried to find any interviews where he might’ve talked about it. I watched a bunch of his interviews, but no luck. There is his saying “Only God” left on his right bicep. So he covered up the “can judge me” part. Seems like he doesn’t want to be judged anymore.
Then I dug into some fan forums. These are goldmines for this kind of stuff! Some people thought it was because he changed his views, others thought it was just an aesthetic choice. There was one guy who thought it was to match his overall tattoo style better.
His left bicep used to contain the words, “Can Judge Me”, but now it’s just a long, scribbled line. Like, what’s that about? Is it just random, or is there some deeper meaning? Some fans think it’s just to make it look cooler, others think it symbolizes some big change in his life. I’m leaning towards the style theory, but who knows. Some people thought he covered it up to show he’s more humble now, others said maybe he just didn’t like the font anymore.
I also noticed he’s got a bunch of other tattoos.
- “SUGA” above his right eyebrow, which is obviously his nickname.
- “Breathe” on his forehead, but it’s backwards. Maybe he wants to read it in the mirror?
- His entire left upper arm and shoulder are covered in this crazy green pattern with masks and vines. It looks pretty wild.
- “Float like a Butterfly Sting Like a Bee” on his right side. This is a classic boxing quote, and it totally fits his fighting style.
- “CHAMP MMXXIII” in red ink, with a crown.
I spent hours going down this rabbit hole, but I still don’t have a definitive answer. It could be a mix of all those things.
Anyway, I just thought I’d share my little investigation. It’s interesting how much speculation there is around a fighter’s tattoos.
I also checked some MMA news sites, but they were more focused on his fights. Fair enough, I guess. Maybe one day he’ll explain it in an interview, but for now, it’s just another one of those little mysteries. Maybe I’ll tweet at him and see if he responds.
So yeah, that’s my deep dive into Sean O’Malley’s covered-up tattoo.
