Tattoos are common in professional wrestling, with many wrestlers sporting multiple designs that have become synonymous with their presentation. In WWE, Cody Rhodes has perhaps the most striking tattoo of them all on his neck, and Sheamus isn't in any hurry to follow suit.
During an appearance on The Masked Men Show, Sheamus questioned if Rhodes had 20 bourbons before sitting in the tattoo chair, believing that only somebody inebriated would see the ink as a good idea. When asked how many pints of Guinness it'd take to get sufficiently wasted, Sheamus doubted he'd survive the amount of alcohol needed.
There’s no way. I would die of liver and kidney failure before that happened... My personal choice is not a bleeding chance.
Sheamus shared that in addition to potential public ridicule, having an 'Irish Nightmare' neck tattoo would draw mockery within his own family. Sheamus' father would never let him live it down, the former WWE World Champion added.
Cody Rhodes Shocked by Legend’s Reaction to His Neck Tattoo
Rhodes debuted his tattoo at AEW Revolution 2020 ahead of his match with MJF. Instantly, talk and memes sprouted on social media, so much so that the match was overshadowed by the tattoo. Nearly five-years on, Rhodes' tattoo remains a unique part of his persona, especially with Sheamus wanting nothing similar to the American Nightmare.
