Where does Jake Paul have a gun tattoo and what does it mean?
YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul has taken the combat sports world by storm. Apart from displaying legitimate boxing skills, the younger Paul sibling has garnered attention for his flamboyant personality. One thing that cannot be missed from his numerous training videos and boxing appearances is the set of tattoos on his physique.
Where does Jake Paul have a gun tattoo?
Jake Paul has an AR-15 rifle tattooed on his left thigh. The YouTube sensation got the gun tattoo in a 'Tattoo Spin Wheel Game' in 2017 when he was spearheading Team 10. Paul decided to go for the AR-15 as he owned one himself. He said:
"I had to get a gun. So I was like, I'm getting my AR-15. That adds meaning to it, though, because I have this gun."
Check out Jake Paul's video below:
According to bodyartguru.com, Paul's AR-15 tattoo depicts a bullet leaving the gun's barrel. An empty casing can also be seen falling out. The gun also contains the Gucci Kingsnake and the double G logos tattooed on it. Paul's tattoo also has the Italian word veloce, which translates to fast in English, tattooed across it.
Paul's tattoo is essentially a depiction of his affinity for guns. In 2018, the FBI seized several guns from the 27-year-old's Calabasas mansion during a raid. The raid was reportedly in connection with vandalism and looting charges against Paul. Prior to that, Paul had also made waves when he advertised shirts with his infamous gun tattoo design on social media.
When Jake Paul made a tattoo bet with Tyron Woodley
Jake Paul was set to fight former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in August 2021 under the Showtime banner. Ahead of the highly-anticipated crossover matchup, Paul made a bet with Woodley during the pre-fight presser. The loser of the aforesaid bout was supposed to get the victor's name tattooed on their body.
Paul went on to defeat Woodley by split decision in the closely contested bout and promised to give the former UFC champion a rematch if he got an 'I love Jake Paul' tattoo on his body. Paul laid out conditions for the tattoo and its visibility in the following days.
Woodley posted a picture of the tattoo on his middle finger. However, many felt that it was not a permanent tattoo. Nevertheless, the rematch took place in December 2021 and Paul ended the rivalry with a vicious sixth-round KO.
'The Problem Child' has proposed a similar tattoo bet with his next opponent, boxing legend Mike Tyson. Paul proposed Tyson should get an 'I love Jake Paul' tattoo if he gets stopped in less than four rounds.
However, if 'Iron' makes it past four rounds, Paul will pay him an additional $5 million and consider the boxing legend a winner. Tyson gave a witty reply and asked Paul to raise the stakes to $20 million in an interview with USA Today.
