Why are the tattoos on  Aaron Chalmers blacked out?

These areas were once filled with colourful ink, but Chalmers made the bold decision to completely black them out—a move that sparked plenty of debate among his supporters. He has tattoos covering most of his body and has openly shared his plans to eventually black out all of them, describing the process as the start of “the real work.”

His transformation has not come without criticism, with many fans questioning why he would erase the detailed designs he once proudly displayed. Chalmers, however, has always defended his choice. Responding to negative comments in 2018, he stated: “Why am I blacking my tattoos out???? Simple. Because it’s my body and I want to! Don’t let it ruin your day.”

His blackout tattoos remain a major talking point, symbolizing his individuality and unapologetic approach to life. Regardless, now coming to his fight, did he beat Fincham?

After the fight started, the 33-year-old began turning up the pressure, landing a well-timed right hook that briefly shifted momentum in his favor. But just as he looked to be settling into the fight, Chalmers answered back emphatically. A perfectly placed right hand sent Fincham staggering, forcing him to a knee.

Statistically, Aaron Chalmers was the much busier and more accurate fighter—throwing 45 punches and landing 22, compared to Fincham’s 31 thrown with 16 connects. Ultimately, Fincham’s corner waved it off in the second round, handing Chalmers the victory via stoppage, adding another green notch to his record.

Regardless, the tattoos on Chalmers’ body may not have helped him win tonight’s fight, but it has definitely helped him stand out from the crowd. What do you think about them? What did you think about the fight?
