Hudson Williams, known for Heated Rivalry, has tattoos across his arms, shoulder and upper back. Harper’s Bazaar puts the total between 13 and 17. The photographs show several designs, while Williams has explained why the Hobbes tattoo is his first and favourite.
The tiger and Hobbes piece on the upper arm
In a Harper’s Bazaar portrait, a tiger-like figure fills part of Williams’s upper arm. He identifies the tattoo as Hobbes, the character from Calvin and Hobbes. Harper’s Bazaar reports that it was his first tattoo and remains his favourite.
The close view shows its dark stripes and rounded form. Williams’s explanation supplies the Hobbes connection; the photo shows the shading and how the design curves around his bicep.
The bomb and tiger grouping across the arms
A Yahoo Canada photo shows Williams flexing both arms in a sleeveless shirt. A compact bomb design appears on one arm and the Hobbes piece on the other, with smaller marks between them. Open skin separates the larger images, so they read as individual tattoos rather than one continuous sleeve.
The bomb is easy to identify by its rounded shape. The available sources do not give it a confirmed personal meaning.
The floral and ornamental forearm tattoos
A separate portrait in a white ribbed tank shows floral and ornamental linework along Williams’s forearm. The finer pattern follows the length of the arm and looks different from the bold bomb and tiger-like figures. Smaller elements remain hard to name from this view.
The bomb and tiger tattoos in a shirtless frame
This shirtless studio portrait shows the bomb and Hobbes tattoos from another angle. Williams is seated with his torso turned, leaving the shoulders and arms uncovered. The pose makes the bicep placement easier to see, including how the Hobbes design wraps toward the side of the muscle.
It is a different frame from the flexing photo, not another tattoo. It also shows smaller marks near the major pieces without identifying them.
The shoulder and back tattoo angle
A Timid Magazine portrait reveals darker ink across Williams’s shoulder and toward the upper back. Its exact design is difficult to make out, but the placement is clear. The shoulder curves away from the camera and part of the work sits close to the tank top, so the photo does not establish a complete outline.
What the published sources actually establish
Harper’s Bazaar reports a total of 13 to 17 tattoos and identifies Hobbes on Williams’s bicep as both his first and his favourite. Teen Vogue and other entertainment coverage also report a matching “SEX SELLS” tattoo with Connor Storrie.
Those reports document context that the photos alone cannot supply. Other ink is visible but unnamed, especially in the shoulder and forearm shots.
A body of work built through different moments
The images show several different styles: the Hobbes figure, a bomb, finer floral linework and broader shoulder ink. Williams’s collection extends beyond the pieces that are easiest to identify in a portrait. The interview below gives more context on his rise after Heated Rivalry.
