MMA Sports issue 11 exclusive interview with Jay White
IN HIS OWN WORDS:
So the tattoo on my stomach which says 5150, which many people know is the cover of a Van Halen album is not why I got it, I’m not a big Van Halen fan sorry. It is a penal code for a danger to one’s self and other’s. Why I got it I really don’t know. I had it done when I was 18 and in the Marine Corps and as I look back at I probably wouldn’t do it again.
The kanji on my right side of my torso says Strength and Determination. I got that to remind me never to give up and stay strong.
The sleeve on my left arm and neck is a tribal it has no particular meaning I just like the designs. Same for the sleeve on my right arm it’s a mixture of things I already had there and blended into it is some tradition Japanese artwork that I really like. In a way they reflect who I am.
I’d like to throw thanks to the two guys that did my tattoo’s first Don Demurs from Full Effect tattooing in Troy N.Y. and Big Eric Pele from Las Vegas.
