Mike Tyson's “warrior” tattoo was inked by Las Vegas tattooist S. Victor Whitmill in 2003. From the time of Tyson's firstpublic appearance with the tattoo, Maori activists and scholars were critical of it as a cultural appropriation of ta moko. Tyson's tattoo is monochrome, curvilinear, features two spiral shapes, and was placed around his left eye. Whitmill has described the “flow”: of Maori art as a design influence, and he created it after showing Tyson pictures of Maori moko. In Maori culture, facial moko is a privilege reserved for respected cultural insiders, and it represents and embodies the wearer's sacred genealogy and social status. Appropriating an individual's moko is profoundly offensive and akin to identity theft.
In one of the interviews, Tyson explained why the portrait of this particular political figure appeared on his stomach: "Che Guevara is an incredible person. He did so much, sacrificed everything for the benefit of other people."
He added that his closest relatives criticized him for “not being a positive example for society.” Luckily for this young man, just as the trend of face tattoos is becoming more common, treatments to erase them are also improving.
Years ago, when I was designing basic animal faces for trainees at a zoo facepainting concession I talked with an entertainment lawyer about seeking a copyright for the designs, and for facepainting designs in general, and that was about the point we came to: that I could copyright the designs on paper, or a photograph of a design on a face — but it would be the paper version and the photograph itself that retained copyright, not the person’s face — and that another artist could therefor put the same design on someone else’s face and validly claim they had sufficiently re-interpreted the design.
For years, the Barcelona-based artist had a rose tattooed on his right temple: “Yes, yes, it was super normal, my grandmother has a couple of friends with their faces tattooed.” It’s still weird to have a tattoo on your face… but it’s also undeniable that, in recent years, this practice has ceased to be the exclusive property of the world of trap and urban music.
The tribal face tattoo on Tyson’s face is a powerful symbol that marks a milestone in his life. Furthermore, he got the tribal design in 2003, right before his fight against Clifford Etienne. In addition, the tribal design is a unique Maori design from New Zealand.
The film, released May 26, shows Helms waking up in Bangkok with the same facial tattoo as Tyson, who makes a brief appearance in the film. (Whitmill's lawsuit doesn't include Tyson because the retired boxer has an agreement saying he can be featured on film with the tattoo.)
He’s done several face tattoos — a practice that he considers to be increasingly common. “I’ve tattooed very cute designs, like butterflies and above all flowers, generally in the area of the sideburns, next to the ear. At the moment, only for guys,” he says. From his perspective, any stigma attached to facial tattoos is an outdated concept. The real commitment lies in what the tattoo itself symbolizes. “A swastika tattoo would undoubtedly have consequences no matter where you get it. But a flower, for example, denotes sensitivity. It also depends on how you approach your life, or in what circles you move. I’ve seen people in Europe working with tattoos on their faces in all kinds of jobs.”
