Tyson Tribal Tattoo is a face decoration trait in the Milady Maker NFT collection, depicting a tribal-style facial tattoo modelled after the tā moko-inspired tattoo worn by American boxer Mike Tyson, designed by Las Vegas tattooist S. Victor Whitmill and applied in 2003.
Background
Mike Tyson is an American former professional boxer widely regarded as one of the most fearsome heavyweights in the sport's history. Shortly before his 2003 fight against Clifford Etienne, Tyson had a large tribal tattoo applied to the left side of his face by Las Vegas tattooist S. Victor Whitmill, inspired by tā moko, the facial tattooing tradition of the Māori people of New Zealand.[1] Tyson has referred to it as his "warrior tattoo."
