Dan Hardy Tattoos



-Dan Hardy's first tattoo was a skull and cross bones on the inside of his lip, which is his favorite tattoo
-He has a mug of tea on his left calf to honor his grandfather who passed away in 2010
-On his lower right leg he has an image from an album cover from the band "The Specials"
-On his right arm he has a Koi fish which is a symbol for aspirations as mythological legends say the Koi fish swims against the current gaining strength until the point it transforms into a Dragon
-Cherry blossoms scattered around his right arm are dedicated to reminding himself to enjoy the moment
-The back tattoo has a "Sacred Heart" with fire, which represents passion and desire and motivation, the wins around it are the freedom to go after it, and the black roses represent death, which reminds Hardy to not waste time and appreciate every day
-On his left arm he has praying hands because Hardy has always been interested in religious art
-On his legs he has adapted versions of the "Blood for Blood" band logo
-On his stomach is a Tibetan Buddhist prayer in Sanskrit; the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum translates into English as: "Hail the Jewel in the Lotus"; and the image of the lotus below represents the mind and the jewel in the lotus is enlightenment
