It seems the changing of the season is making the whole wrestling industry turn their skin into a spring canvas. Following Jack Gallagher and Cody Rhodes' tattoos last week, three more superstars have unveiled fresh needlework permanently etched about their person.

First up are WWE couple Zelina Vega and Aleister Black, who revealed via Instagram this week that they've both recently been inked. The pair visited Orlando, FL artist Daniel Selleck, each getting quite drastically different tats. Whilst Vega had a ship's wheel penned on her shoulder, and a heartfelt message to her mother across her ribcage, ultra-Goth Black went with a more typical skeleton. He likes that sort of thing.

Meanwhile, NXT Champion Rhea ripley has underwent the first stages of an elaborate and similarly macabre piece of skinart on her right leg. Masterfully inked by Orlando artists Built 4 Speed Tattoos, the design depicts a wendigo, a man-eating mythological beast from Algonquian folklore.

WWE have firmly prohibited Ripley from getting tattoos on her upper body, though the lower part is free reign since she modified her attire to wear trousers - for this very reason. She revealed in a WWE interview last month:

"I got pants so I wouldn’t have to clear my tattoos because you can’t see them. I’m trying to finish my leg sleeves, then hopefully I can convince people to let me get my arm sleeves and other stuff, but we’ll see how that goes!"

Which superstar'll be next to undergo the needle? And will any of their tattoos divide the internet quite like Cody's?
