He got the tats about 6 months or so after retirement- kind of sad punctuation on the physique that was once one of the greatest of all time. Tats are fine, but ugly tats are just pathetic.
it is psycological thing the tatoo,,
see let me explain something to you,,as a bodybuilder the moment you reduce hormone intake and start doing work out for fun and stop putting all your life in bodybuilding.....there is mental stage that gets to you ,,it gets to everybodybuilder,,and every one respond to it differently ....some walk around wearing 2 shirts alwayts ,,one cotton white shirt and on top of it another shirt..to hide the shrinkage to some degree..ofcourse it doesnt help .....some tatoo their body to hide the shrinkage and replace it with another attention seeking phenomenon....the guys who do it are usually guys who have constant need for attention ,,NOT EVERY BODYBUILDER has this problem but ken lee and many more has this problem because they were never big to begin with..they were small guys small joints ,,small frames...they were small as simple as that what made them big is the hormones
