7 WWE Superstars' tattoos and their emotional significance

#3 Baron Corbin

The Lone Wolf has some very special portrait tattoos.

Baron Corbin is enjoying the best days of his wrestling career right now, as he is set to challenge Dean Ambrose at Wrestlemania 33 in hopes of coming away with the Intercontinental Championship. If Corbin can somehow pull off the win, it would surely be the biggest win of his career.

Baron has come a long way since his frustrating days in NXT when he had a very difficult time passing the proverbial learning curve. Corbin has improved his entire body of work immensely since arriving on the main roster.

Growing up just outside of Kansas City, Baron had an unbreakable bond with his father, as well as his grandfather. Both men have always been considered his biggest inspirations in life, which is the reason Baron has both of their faces tattooed on his leg.

Corbin's dad passed away tragically in 2008, due to complications from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, more commonly known as mad cow disease. Baron also has a number of other tribute tattoos as well, including one of his dear friend and star of MTV’s Jackass, Ryan Dunn. Dunn passed away in a fatal car accident in 2011.
