Sean O’Malley Sparks Frenzy After Revealing Bold Forehead Tattoo for Eight-Figure Sponsorship: “This Can Not Be Real!”

Sean O’Malley Sparks Frenzy After Revealing Bold Forehead Tattoo for Eight-Figure Sponsorship

Sean O’Malley has pulled off a move few people would ever dare to attempt. The former UFC bantamweight champion is known for his unconventional sense of style, which includes his multi-colored hair and eye-catching fashion choices. O’Malley’s many tattoos also make him stand out, and his latest ink has generated a lot of buzz on social media.

On New Year’s Eve, O’Malley revealed a tattoo inked on his forehead reading “Doing Well” in block letters. The placement of the tattoo on his face was part of an eight-figure sponsorship deal, according to O’Malley. “When the sponsorship is worth 8 figures @wearedoingwell,” he wrote on X, a social media platform.

Fans Divided Over Authenticity Of Sean O’Malley’s New Forehead Tattoo

Initially, O’Malley’s latest tattoo looked almost too unreal, prompting speculation that it could be the result of high-end editing, AI trickery, or even temporary ink. That skepticism lingered even after O’Malley shared a photo of himself getting tattooed on the forehead a day before revealing the finished design.

Nonetheless, O’Malley is no stranger to facial tattoos, but the sheer size of this one inevitably sparked questions about its authenticity. Fans online were split, with some insisting it could be real and arguing it’s exactly the kind of bold move only the 31-year-old UFC star would make, while others dismissed it as temporary ink tied to a promotional stunt.

Reactions to the Tattoo

Some fans expressed their admiration for O’Malley’s bold move, while others were more skeptical. “I’d give my left cheek to taco bell for 100k and free chalupas for life,” one fan joked. Another fan said, “SEEMS LEGIT … move along NOTHIN TO SEE HERE!! .”

Sean O’Malley last competed at UFC 316 in June, where his bid to reclaim the bantamweight title fell short after he was submitted in the third round by Merab Dvalishvili. “Suga” is aiming to move on from his back-to-back setbacks against Dvalishvili as he prepares for his return to the Octagon against Song Yadong at UFC 324, scheduled for January 24 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
