Dan Hooker, the UFC fighter known for his colorful hair, reveals the story behind his impulsive tattoos. In an exclusive interview, Hooker shares how his tattoos were a result of spontaneous decisions, just like his colored hair.
A Trip to the Gold Coast
After a UFC event, Hooker found himself stranded in New Zealand due to a cyclone. With his flight canceled, he redirected his journey to the Gold Coast. It was during this unexpected detour that the idea of getting a tattoo struck him. A friend in the Gold Coast offered his assistance, and within 12 hours, Hooker had half of his back covered in ink.
The Desire for Balance
Upon returning to New Zealand, Hooker couldn’t shake off the feeling of needing another tattoo. He didn’t want to have just one tattoo, as it would look odd. So, he decided to balance it out by getting another one. Initially, he planned for a smaller tattoo, but the artist’s creativity took over, resulting in a larger piece that extended from his chest all the way down his back.
Unexpected but Happy
While these impulsive tattoos took up a significant portion of his body, Hooker is happy with how they turned out. He admits that he never expected to get such extensive tattoos, but now he knows that he can get carried away with tattoos just like he does with fights. He jokes about people questioning his decision to tattoo his feet and ankles, but he embraces the idea of being different and pushing boundaries.
"Impulsive tattoos don’t usually take up your entire back, but now I know I can get carried away with tattoos just like fights," says Hooker.
In conclusion, Hooker’s tattoos are a testament to his spontaneous nature and willingness to embrace the unexpected. Despite their size and placement, he has no regrets and sees them as an expression of his individuality.
