Wes Lee’s tattoos are easiest to follow in still photos: a rosary and cross run down his chest, Carpe Diem sits above them, and a dreamcatcher-style design marks his right arm. On his back, wide script sits over a tall illustrated figure. Fans may also know Lee as Dezmond Xavier; the photos here show his collection during his NXT years.
The rosary and cross tattoo down his chest
A chain of small beads curves across the top of Lee’s chest, meets in the center and drops to a dark cross on his sternum. The beads stay light and individually outlined; heavier shading makes the cross stand out.
Lee sometimes wears a real necklace over the tattoo, so the jewelry can be mistaken for part of the ink. The larger cross below is tattooed. The rosary has familiar religious associations, but Lee’s personal reason for choosing it hasn’t been established here.
The Carpe Diem lettering across his upper chest
Lee’s Carpe Diem lettering sits on either side of the rosary. The familiar Latin phrase is usually translated as “seize the day.” Its joined script and long curls follow the line beneath his collarbones, while the rosary runs down between the words.
Dark illustrated marks sit near the outer ends, though their subjects aren’t clear in these photos. Lee hasn’t connected the phrase to a particular event, so the wording and placement are what we can say with confidence.
The dreamcatcher and angular tattoos on his right arm
A rounded, dreamcatcher-style design sits among darker angular marks on Lee’s right arm. Thin lines cross its center inside a stronger border, with hanging details extending below it. The nearby shapes use pointed edges and dark fill, so the two styles are easy to tell apart.
The arm bends around the designs in action photos, which can hide part of the circular shape. There’s no confirmed explanation here for the dreamcatcher or the angular marks, so there’s no need to infer a cultural link or assign a translation.
The large muscular figure tattoo on his back
A muscular figure runs down the center of Lee’s back. Its arms extend from the body and long legs reach toward the waistband. Dark outlines define the limbs; lighter, loose strokes around the figure widen the composition without filling the whole back.
The figure’s identity isn’t clear enough to name. It may remind viewers of a familiar character or religious image, but resemblance alone doesn’t confirm what Lee intended. For a different approach to back coverage, Randy Orton’s tattoos offer a useful comparison.
The King of Kings script across his upper back
King of Kings stretches across Lee’s shoulder blades in decorative script. Large opening letters and long curls give the phrase width; the tall figure below carries the design down the middle of his back. The lettering and illustration have separate outlines, with open skin between them.
The phrase can have religious associations, but Lee hasn’t explained why he chose it in the material referenced here. To see the chest and back tattoos in motion, watch Lee face Tyler Bate and Joe Gacy at NXT Battleground 2023 below.
