What's the story?
Chris Jericho shocked the world when he appeared at ALL IN earlier this month, but the WWE legend has surprised his fans with a new tattoo featuring his own face on it!
The Fozzy frontman's sleeve pays homage to several movies and bands that Jericho is a fan of, but his new one is very interesting. Y2J's recent tattoo pays tribute to one of the greatest rock bands of all time in Queen - but with his own twist.
In case you didn't know...
Chris Jericho's wrestling career almost needs no introduction, but the Fozzy frontman's tattoos may not have garnered quite so much attention. Jericho has several pieces relating to his love of horror movies and rock bands.
Y2J's current list of tattoos includes some influences from his own music, with Jericho's first tattoo being the Fozzy "F" mimicking Metallica's James Hetfield who has the M from their logo. Jericho also has his band's Sin and Bones album cover. Aside from that, Y2J has a Helloween pumpkin - the band that inspired his name. Jericho also has Metallica, Beatles, Iron Maiden and Rolling Stones inspired artwork etched on his skin.
The heart of the matter
Chris Jericho took to Twitter today to share a photo of his newest tattoo, done by Flaco - who tattooed Y2J on WWE Superstar Ink. Jericho shared a post on Instagram with images of the new tattoo, which pays homage to both Queen and his own wrestling career.
Chris Jericho's new tattoo is a reference to Queen's News of the World album, but the twist is that the artwork is originally by Frank Kelly Freas. The piece originally had a giant robot holding a dead man with a poignant expression on its face, with the caption "Please... fix it, Daddy?"
Freas would then be commissioned to change the dead man to four "dead" band members - the members of Queen. Jericho's tribute instead uses his own image, with the robot clutching different Chris Jerichos from different eras.
What's next?
Chris Jericho continues to be one of wrestling's most innovative stars. Not only has he organised his own cruise, Chris Jericho's Rock 'n' Wrestling Rager at Sea, but Y2J will even wrestle on board, teaming with The Young Bucks to face Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, and Marty Scurll.
