There is no way this is real, right?
Just days after Brazilian superstar Charles Oliveira showed off some genuinely clean new ink, we now swing to the complete opposite end of the MMA tattoo spectrum —
and it is absolutely ridiculous.
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has unveiled a brand-new forehead tattoo that reads “Doing Well” in big, bold block letters. And according to “Suga” himself, that forehead real estate came with an eight-figure sponsorship deal.
“When the sponsorship is worth 8 figures @wearedoingwell,” O’Malley wrote in the caption.
At first glance, it looks like something ripped straight out of an A.I. fever dream. Seriously — your brain immediately goes, no shot.
But then O’Malley complicated things by posting a video just one day earlier showing himself in the chair getting a forehead tattoo.
To be fair, the video only shows the early linework, so it could’ve been anything — a symbol, a logo, or even a temporary stunt. Still, the timing lines up just a little too well.
For what it’s worth, I ran the photo through three major A.I. platforms — ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok — and all three suggested the image appears to be real.
Even so, skepticism is understandable. A forehead tattoo this loud feels insane… but this is Sean O’Malley. The same guy with multiple face tattoos, a Tekashi 6ix9ine tattoo, and ink of himself in his signature basketball pose.
If anyone would do it, it’s him.
We’ll likely find out soon enough — either on his podcast or when O’Malley returns to action against Song Yadong at UFC 324 on Jan. 24, 2026, inside T-Mobile Arena.
So the real question is simple:
Would you get a forehead tattoo for eight figures?
