Tattoos of this nature are generally considered quite a challenge for the individual who undergoes the procedure. Certain phases of the tattooing procedure might be a tad painful for the individual.

Nevertheless, the pain is usually kept as low as possible, owing to the use of tattoo anesthetics and products of that ilk. Be that as it may, Kevin Lee’s tattoo has seemingly captivated many tattoo enthusiasts in the MMA community.

Having competed in both the UFC lightweight and welterweight divisions, Kevin Lee has asserted that he aims to resume his quest to capture UFC gold and ascend to the top of the UFC food chain this year.

The 28-year-old Lee, who has been out of action for a considerable amount of time due to injuries, will return to the octagon to compete in the UFC's welterweight division. 'The Motown Phenom' has long been regarded as one of UFC's top prospects and even competed for a world title in the past.

Kevin Lee fought Tony Ferguson for the interim UFC lightweight title at UFC 216 in October 2017. Lee lost the fight via third-round submission but received widespread praise for his valiant effort against the dangerous ‘El Cucuy’.
