In a 2012 interview with Graham Bensinger, Mike Tyson discussed the story behind his face tattoo, saying, “I just thought it was a cool tattoo. I was going to get a bunch of hearts and stuff. That would have been really stupid. I was going to be the man of hearts, baby. I was very close. Victor Perez, the tattoo artist said ‘I ain’t doing that. I can’t do that’.”

After retiring from boxing, Tyson has remained in the public eye through various media appearances, including a one-man Broadway show, movie roles, and a popular podcast. His life and career have been marked by both his achievements in the ring and his controversies outside of it.

Foremost was the choice for defense counsel. While the famous Fuller seemed to give Tyson an imposing advantage, his background made him an illogical choice. Fuller defended King in a Philadelphia tax-evasion case. King apparently thought Fuller pulled off a miracle in winning an acquittal, so when Tyson was indicted, he summoned his savior to the fray.

Since then Tyson has gone bankrupt in 2003, losing his $400 million fortune, been involved in several drug-related run-ins with the law, and got in trouble for comments he made in the media about Sarah Palin.

With no clear answer available in the law, how should tattoo artists and tattoo owners go about solving this inky issue? While these solutions may be most relevant for cases involving celebrities and athletes, it is still important to understand what rights and options both parties may have. For anyone getting a tattoo, one solution is to get the tattoo artist to sign a release giving up all rights to the ink on your body. This especially makes sense for high profile celebrities and athletes who may be recreated in video games or other forms. In fact, getting releases was an action recommended by the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) shortly after Stephen Allen v. Electronic Arts Inc. et al.

Noakes worked his way inside with an early jab to the body that allowed him to land a couple of chopping head shots. From that point, Kumar was grimly aware of the task ahead. After a leg hook over a lazy jab sent the visitor box reeling back into the ropes he spend time trapped in the neutral corner. Noakes powered home a brutal straight right towards the end of the first that buckled Kumar. Although he didn’t appear to touch down the referee administered a couple. Kumar barely made the bell for round two and Noakes forced the stoppage after one minute and 17 seconds of the session.

A member of various street gangs at an early age, Tyson was sent to reform school in upstate New York in 1978. At the reform school, social worker and boxing aficionado Bobby Stewart recognized his boxing potential and directed him to renowned trainer Cus D’Amato, who became his legal guardian.
