Devin Clark, like most other UFC fighters, has a distinct tattoo on his torso that often gets fans talking. Clark has a unique-looking ink art on his chest of a creature with elaborate antlers that stretch up almost to his shoulder blades.

Take a look at the tattoo below:

According to some fans on social media, Devin Clark's chest tattoo closely resembles a particular Gaelic-Roman deity named Cernunnos. The deity is usually depicted with big antlers on ancient artifacts.

Often called 'The Horned One' because of his appearance, Cernunnos is believed to be the God of Wilderness. He mediates between the predators and the prey of nature and maintains harmony in the wild.

The deity is usually depicted wielding a torc and associated with animals like stags, horned serpents, dogs, bulls, and rats. Initially a Celtic deity, a version of Cernunnos makes appearances in Wiccan religious traditions as well. 'The Horned God' is one of the primary deities of the Wiccan faith, who is believed to be the god of nature, wilderness, and sexuality.

Devin Clark got the tattoo done from Vishnu Bunny Tattoo, an ink parlor in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The artist posted about working with Devin Clark back in December 2017 and shared a picture of the tattoo as well.
