Conor McGregor tattoos and their meanings span roughly a dozen documented pieces — from the iconic crowned gorilla chest ink to the stomach tiger, NOTORIOUS script, and neck crucifix cataloged by Sportskeeda and EssentiallySports.

McGregor told Conan his gym SBG Ireland uses a gorilla logo — he added a crown because he is the king gorilla and had the gorilla eat a heart because it felt right during three sessions with Amanda Bonhomme in 2013.

The April 2015 stomach tiger represents courage and predator energy per MMA Weekly — McGregor posted If you see the Tiger it is too late and called the abdomen session the worst pain he ever felt.

Traditional left forearm ink includes a dagger through a rose and a pocket watch frozen at 3:35 with roses — early pieces cataloged by EssentiallySports with less on-record McGregor explanation than the chest gorilla.

Fans read the winged crucifix and thorn helix as Catholic devotion — but Sportskeeda reports McGregor dismissed religious framing, treating the neck ink as aesthetic rather than faith-based body art.
