However, there’s another thing that makes Paddy Pimblett stand out from the rest. Pimblett is not your chiseled bodybuilder with multiple tattoos inked on his body, showing an extravagant lifestyle. Pimblett is simple, and his decision to not have tattoos has a lot to do with the kind of person he is and wants to be.
Paddy Pimblett resonates with everybody by not having tattoos
It won’t be wrong to say that tattoos have become so common among fighters and athletes, that someone without it always has to answer questions regarding his decision to not have one. Pimblett is one among them, but he is not the only UFC fighter. Even Nick Diaz and Nate Diaz do not have any tattoos, and if tattoos were a symbol of toughness, the Diaz brothers are a true example that that’s not the case.
“I’m going to bring four, five, six, seven, eight-year-olds into this sport who are going to be MMA fans for the rest of their lives. We’re going to take over boxing in the next 10 years. Watch. I just resonate with kids and kids love me. I’m not head shaved, loads of tattoos, I’m just me. I’m not trying to be something I’m not and I think kids like that as well as older people.” Pimblett has said.

The British star is not trying to be someone he is not just because he is a UFC fighter, and while he loves the comparison with Conor McGregor, that’s not the direction where he is headed in terms of how he carries himself. Pimblett has already expressed his desire to be fat and eat whatever he likes than don six-pack abs, and his photos with a fat belly never fail to do rounds on the internet when he is not training.
