Umaga'a face tatoo

[joey joe joe junior shabadoo]

Is that thing on there for life or what?

Does anyone know if it's a henna that keeps getting re-done?

[azz0r]

Its paint, usually comes off on a match longer than 10 minutes.

[Cactus Jack]

It's only facepaint.

[Bo Rida]

I was just thinking a few days ago how good his face paint is at staying on his face.

In the old days Doink & co's facepaint would peel off instantly, good job that doesn't happen now or everybody would know his true identity is Jamal.

[joey joe joe junior shabadoo]

Oh right. I've never seen it come off. It must be quite strong stuff. I remember Goldust's would come off alot.

[odor31]

Warrior as well

^ true

Sting usually finishes the match looking like he dipped his face in plaster of paris.

[MysteryPartner]

Yeah. My Cousin is always like, I can't believe he has that tattooed on his face! I'm like dude.. it's paint. lol

[bradshawrules]

It came off during the elimination chamber at no way out

[BHB]

It's a real tattoo but it comes off during matches and changes every day.

[Dynamite Kid]

It only comes off in longer matches, it's very good, and whoever does it is very good at reproducing it over and over.

If you watch the Hall of Fame ceremony from the last two years, they show Umaga without facepaint dressed formally. They showed him in the audience when the Wild Samoans were inducted and when Peter Maivia was being inducted. I believe he was wearing sunglasses for both ceremonies. Of course you could also find matches when he wrestled as Jamal from Three Minute Warning from a few years ago.

Yeah as if he looks all that different even with the face paint. LOL

I know the face is painted. I wonder if he got all those tattoos on his body because WWE asked him to or if he just did it on his own. Either way I think the Samoa one on his stomach is pretty cool and adds a lot more to his character. I think when he first came in he looked really generic.

I would wager Umaga wanted the tattoos. Rock says that the tattoos have a lot of meaning in Samoan culture. Afa Jr. has some Samoan tattoos as well. Umaga may have already had some of those tattoos while he was wrestling as Jamal and Ekmo Fatu.

To the OP, I have some property I'd like to sell you. In particular, this wonderful bridge in Brooklyn.

Warrior and STing always looked weird by the time their matches ended with only paint on their eyes.
