The stories behind them are top class, and George has made the right choice in choosing designs that hold a lot of sentimental value. This is much better than most who just pick whatever generic style is popular at the time and ink their skin to look tough. I doubt Kessler's arm pieces have much of a deep inner meaning for example.

The problem is the tattoos themselves look like dog ****. I've seen prison tattoos done with more skill. Yeah each carries a fantastic story, but Grove's torso looks like a ******ed kid's colouring book. 2nd worst tattoos in boxing, falling just short of the Tyson face-piece debacle.

But they're certainly unique though, I'll give him that.

Quality comment. The good thing about Cotto and similar is that you can gauge their career based on tattoos. How much his body has been inked tells how exactly what year it is when looking at previous fights.

This was discussed before, they're all lucky charms or have personal meaning to him. I think they're good tbh, creative and unique.

Everyone close to George knows the Gingerbread Man tat is a nod to Morgan Freeman. Seldom does an interview go by where George doesn't get at least one Morgan Freeman movie reference in. The Gingerbread Man is also on his MySpace profile listed as his favourite movie of all time.

The kitten is a tribute to his great Aunt Kitty, who gallantly posed as a man in an attempt to fight the Nazis during WWII but was found out & sent home. She went on to become an active member of the Home Guard & the first female Regional Leader of said Guard. She was also an avid boxer, training other females in Self Defence, one of which was her Neice, George's Mum. It was her who then got baby George into boxing at the tender age of 2.

Brilliant tattoos if you ask me.
