Max Griffin, the Sacramento welterweight known as Max Pain, has “Only God Can Judge Me” across his chest, a knuckle-shaped design on his right side and a mechanical-looking sleeve on that arm. Darker illustrated work covers parts of his left arm and lower leg.
The chest script and knuckle tattoo on his right side
“Only God Can Judge Me” runs in decorative script across Griffin’s upper chest. A necklace overlaps the middle in this raised-arms photo. Below the right pectoral, a separate knuckle-shaped design follows the side of his torso.
The two tattoos differ in scale and style: the chest uses fine curls, while the side piece has broad outlined shapes. The images don’t explain a personal meaning for either one.
The biomechanical tattoo on his right arm
Against Michael Chiesa, Griffin’s right arm turns toward the camera and shows a dark sleeve of segmented, mechanical-looking forms. Curved sections meet angular edges, with shaded pockets giving the shapes depth.
Wrist tape covers the end of the arm. The photo shows the sleeve above it, but not what might be under the tape.
The dark artwork on his left arm and lower leg
A wider exchange with Chiesa shows darker illustrated work on Griffin’s left arm and a long tattoo down his left shin. Tattoo reporting describes Japanese-style warrior imagery on the forearm, though this angle doesn’t show enough detail to identify every figure.
The leg design follows the shin; the crop doesn’t reveal the full calf or foot. This view is useful for comparing the two sides, but not for naming the smaller shapes.
The tattoos visible inside his upper arms
With both arms raised, Griffin’s inner biceps come into view. The right has a compact, shield-like design; the left has an ornate word that appears to read “Beast” beside a face-like shape. The pose exposes these details more clearly than a normal guard.
His mouthguard reads “Max Pain,” but that isn’t tattoo text. The images show the wording on the guard and shorts separately from the ink on his skin.
Away from the cage
The ring-light portrait shows Griffin in a patterned shirt, with his chest and shoulders covered. The pale flowers are part of the fabric print, not tattoos.
