10 Fascinating Stories Behind WWE Superstar Tattoos

8. Goldust's Texas Tribute

Of all the tattoos WWE stars have, Goldust's 'The American Dream' ink is perhaps the most self-explanatory. The man's father, the famous Dusty Rhodes, was known by that nickname throughout his life and career, and Dustin (just like brother Cody and his sisters) wanted to have a variation of the 'American Dream' tag on his body to keep his dad close by.

Further, Goldust wanted to pay tribute to his home state of Texas by having the geographical outline of his beloved locale included in the tattoo. Finishing things off, the tatt is coloured with red, white and blue, the colours of Texas that mean so much to Dustin.

Goldust actually got this inked when Corey Graves was with him. The work was done in a shop owned by Luke Gallows, and even though it's far from the most extravagant piece a WWE star has ever had done, it means the world to the Rhodes wrestling family.
