In episode #1336 of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), Joe Rogan praised the talented tattoo artist Steve Butcher for his photo-realistic tattoos.
However, the podcaster was not too amused by the fact that fans were using Butcher's skills to get his face inked on their bodies.
Speaking on the trend, the podcaster said:
"Soo weird, don't do that. Just stop, just stop. "
The UFC commentator did however acknowledge the realistic nature of Butcher's rendition of his face. Rogan added that the tattoo could easily pass off as a photograph of the comedian:

Speaking to Bill Maher on JRE #1084, Rogan explained that his right tattoo sleeves represent the legendary Japanese samurai Miyamoto Musashi who wrote the Book of Five Rings:
"That's Miyamoto Musashi...who wrote the book of five rings. That's a famous Japanese samurai... He wrote an amazing book on strategy and he was like an incredibly balanced guy, in that he believed in poetry and calligraphy and creating art but he was also the greatest samurai that ever lived and the thing that he said was you had to be all of those things. You had to be in balance in full harmony."
