Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this fella, Connor McGregor, and that big ol’ tattoo on his back. Folks keep askin’ about it, so I figured I’d spill what I know, the way I see it, ya know?
Conor McGregor Back Tattoo: What’s it All About?
First off, that McGregor fella, he’s a fighter, a real tough guy. Seen him on the TV, punchin’ and kickin’. Reminds me of my ol’ rooster, always peckin’ and fightin’ in the yard. Anyways, this tattoo, it’s right smack dab on his back, goin’ all the way down his spine. It ain’t no little butterfly or nothin’, it’s big and it’s bold, just like him I reckon.
Now, they call it a “Thorny Helix.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? But what it is, is a bunch of thorns twisted around, like a vine with stickers. It starts up near his neck and goes all the way down to just above his behind, where he’s got another tattoo of a cross.
- Thorny what now? Yeah, it’s a thorny helix, like a twisty vine with them sharp stickers. Goin’ right down his back.
- Religious stuff? Some folks say it’s got somethin’ to do with Jesus and that crown of thorns they put on his head. Makes sense I guess, seein’ as how he’s got that cross tattoo too. But McGregor himself, he just says he liked the picture. Boys and their toys, I tell ya.
- Wild and dangerous? Well, he sure looks it, doesn’t he? That tattoo, it kinda makes him look even wilder, like he ain’t afraid of nothin’. Like a wildcat, all coiled up and ready to pounce. Fits him, I’d say.
Some folks get all worked up about the meanin’ of tattoos. They say everything’s gotta mean somethin’ deep and important. But sometimes, a fella just likes the way somethin’ looks, ya know? Like that time I bought that red hat at the market. Didn’t mean nothin’, just liked the color. McGregor, he says he just liked the picture. Maybe it’s that simple, maybe it ain’t. Who am I to say?
But then again, some other folks, they say it’s about Jesus. They say those thorns, they’re like the ones they put on Jesus’ head when they… well, you know… when they hurt him real bad. It’s a way of rememberin’ what happened way back when. And seein’ as how McGregor’s got that cross down there too, maybe they’re right. Maybe he’s a religious fella deep down. You never can tell with these fellas, can ya?
Now, I heard tell he’s got other tattoos too. Somethin’ about some writin’ in a language I ain’t never heard of. Arabic, they call it. That was his first one, they say. Seems like once ya start gettin’ them tattoos, ya just keep on goin’. Like my niece with them darn earrings, always gettin’ another hole poked in her ear. Young folks these days, I tell ya!
McGregor’s Tattoo and That Movie
And wouldn’t you know it, they’re makin’ a movie with McGregor in it. A real movie, with actors and everything. But here’s the kicker, they’re coverin’ up his tattoos! All that ink, and they’re gonna hide it. Seems a shame, all that work and then nobody gets to see it. But I guess that’s show business for ya. They’re puttin’ fake tattoos on him instead. Makes no sense to me, but then again, lots of things don’t these days.
They say he’s playin’ a fighter in the movie, which ain’t much of a stretch for him, I reckon. And this other fella, Jake Gyllen somethin’ or other, he’s playin’ a fighter too. Sounds like a whole lotta punchin’ and kickin’ goin’ on. Maybe I’ll watch it, maybe I won’t. Depends on if there’s anythin’ else good on the TV.
So, what’s the big deal about McGregor’s back tattoo? Well, I reckon it’s a bit of everything. It’s about lookin’ tough, maybe it’s about Jesus, and maybe it’s just about likin’ a picture. And right now, it’s about makin’ a movie too. Whatever it is, it sure gets people talkin’, don’t it? Just like that time the neighbor’s cow got loose and ate all my prize-winning tomatoes. Now that was somethin’ to talk about!
But at the end of the day, it’s his back and his tattoo. He can do what he wants with it. Just like I can do what I want with my tomato garden, even if that darn cow does try to eat it all.
And that’s all I got to say about that Conor McGregor and his back tattoo. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. Got a hankerin’ for some fried chicken.
