Adversity has always been part of Mike Tyson’s life! However, the loss of his four-year-old daughter pushed the heavyweight champion to his limits. Back in March 2009, Mike’s daughter, Exodus, sadly passed away due to a horrific treadmill accident. However, his daughter never left Mike’s mind, so to keep his late daughter’s legacy alive, Mike Tyson got a new tattoo.
In a surprising twist of fate, a tattoo artist turned to Instagram, sharing a clip of Mike getting the new tattoo. The artist wrote, “I had one of the best days of my life yesterday. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality to you and your amazing family.” What’s more, the tattoo depicted the face of Mike’s daughter, beautifully inked on his left pectoral muscle.
