The concept of nature and dinosaurs do (kind of) go hand in hand, which makes you wonder whether the real-life Austin Matelson consciously chose this ink with his prehistoric gimmick in mind. This is highly unlikely, as he's sported the design for quite some time now, but the fact that it coincides with his persona so well is part of why it's here.

So what exactly is that all over Luchasaurus? The designs are clearly modelled after tree roots, giving his entire body the vibe of a great hulking piece of nature. They're put together with such detail and a luscious green that isn't seen in body art too often, making it stand out as unique, and even matching his ring attire.

Part of what makes a good tattoo is the design itself, but also what it brings to the performer in terms of coherence. For example, Braun Strowman's superman tattoo caused a bit of dissonance between him and his character. Whereas in the case of this Jurassic Express member, it solidifies his look and makes you think that he just might be from a land before time - even though we know he's not.
