Terrance McKinney’s chest and back tattoo   

At first glance, Terrance McKinney’s chest tattoo is what grabs the audience’s attention. The UFC lightweight star has a creative chest piece featuring a cross surrounded by angel wings, symbolizing his connection with God. For the unaware, McKinney is a devout Christian and thanks God whether he wins or loses a fight.

Following his win at UFC 317 against Viacheslav Borshchev, McKinney thanked Jesus Christ for the victory. Subsequently, he turned to God after his loss to Chris Duncan at UFC 323 last year. That said, while the 155-lb star’s chest tattoo reflects his devotion to the higher power, McKinney’s back tattoo represents his brash nature.

On his back, the 31-year-old has his moniker ‘T-Wrecks’ inked alongside a giant, creatively drawn dinosaur, which demands the spotlight every time he throws blows in the cage. Well, fighters like Tom Aspinall and Alexander Volkov also have some striking back pieces, but McKinney’s tattoo stands out on its own. Now that we’ve covered his chest and back tattoos, let’s take a look at other pieces on his body.

Following the marquee tattoos, Terrance McKinney also has other interesting body art. On his shoulder, ‘T-Wrecks’ has a tattoo of popular anime character Goku, which indicates the UFC star’s admiration for characters that represent resilience. Also, the lightweight star’s love for superheroes becomes even more obvious when we look at the Spider-Man web on his knuckle.

On the other wrist, McKinney also has a well-drawn elephant, which generally symbolizes ambition, power, and positive outcomes. He also has some notable tattoos on his abdomen, with the tiger standing out from the rest.

Some believe it may be inspired by ex-UFC two-division champ Conor McGregor, who also has the famous tiger on his abdomen. In addition to these, McKinney also has a tattoo that appears to show a hooded man holding a demon head, making for an intriguing design choice.
