What tattoos does Paige VanZant have?

Paige VanZant has an eclectic mix of both small and large pieces of art across her body. Many of these tattoos bear deep personal significance, while others serve primarily for aesthetics.

VanZant proudly displays a small Ichthys tattoo on her ribs, commonly called the 'Christian Fish' or 'Jesus Fish', owing to her devout Christian faith.

'Rose'

VanZant clandestinely acquired a rose tattoo on the inside of her lower lip from an amateur artist during a house party, driven by the desire to keep it hidden from her parents.

'Queen of Hearts'

'12 Gauge' also boasts a 'Queen of Hearts' tattoo adorning one side of her ribs, a matching symbol to her husband, Austin Vanderford's 'King of Hearts' design on his abdomen, which reflects the deep bond and love shared between the couple.

The 30-year-old Oregon native proudly bears the initials of her husband, 'A V,' tattooed on one side of her buttocks, symbolizing her deep connection and commitment to her spouse.

'Stay Mild'
