He did not mean to, but he kind of did! Earlier this week, a clip of Mike Tyson had the internet sympathizing with a fan. What happened? It’s what did not happen! ‘Iron’ Mike was out mingling with his fans and Bamm! A fan appears out of nowhere, trying to show the retired boxer a tattoo of Mike’s face on his arm.

However, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ was too preoccupied with the crowd to notice the tattoo, inadvertently disregarding the fan. Following this incident, Mike got entangled in yet another tattoo-related development. The only difference is – nobody’s feelings got hurt this time around. But all the Mike Tyson fans would love this!

Mike Tyson on the cover of a magazine

In a surprising twist of fate, Inked Magazine announced the top personalities to feature on their magazine’s cover in 2023. “Appreciation post for our 2023 covers because they were kind of iconic,” Inked wrote in the caption of their Instagram post. Guess who was smack dab on the front? None other than Mike Tyson with his bada** face tattoo – looking as dangerous as ever. The post featured other top honchos of the entertainment industry, but no one could mimic Mike’s presence.

Besides ‘Iron’ Mike, the post featured the likes of Lady Gaga, Sean O’Malley, Landon Barker, and Charlie Raye. It’s worth mentioning that Mike was featured in the January 2023 edition of the magazine, and why wouldn’t he? The man has a face tattoo! That’s not counting the other five on various parts of his body. So, when the boxing world discovered the post today, everyone had something to say!

A question from Inked

With the major announcement of the top cover features, the people at Inked posed a question for the masses. “Who do you want to see on our cover in 2024,” Inked asked their followers. 

One user pointed out Sean O’Malley looked like a character from the iconic video game GTA (Grand Theft Auto), as depicted on the box of the game. “O’Malley looks like GTA box art,” the user commented.

Meanwhile, the next user had a different idea, as he suggested instead of celebrities, the magazine cover should feature “Some real-life, everyday people.”

Someone else decided to pose a question of their own, asking Inked, “How about someone actually tattooed?”

The final user nominated Lady Gaga as the personality to be featured on Inked’s 2024 magazine cover.

If Mike was known for anything else other than the sweet science, it had to be his face tattoo. Ironically, the same thing has the people talking these days. However, we would like to get your thoughts – who do you think should feature in Inked’s 2024 magazine cover?
