One person jokingly said, “I’m glad he likes it that much, but I personally think hollow tattoos never work. It just looks like a black dot.“

However, anime fans, on the other hand, seem inspired by his Tattoo as they are clear about what it represents.

Payton Talbott’s black dot-looking Tattoo represents “An internal void, emptiness, lack of emotion”

As people continued criticizing the professional marital artist tattoo, Twitter user José Youngs disclosed its meaning, saying it represents an ‘Internal void.’

It is similar to his fan’s speculation, as it represents the feeling of nothingness.

Further, the UFC fighter makes it even more evident by saying the black dot is a hole that goes through his body, representing “An internal void, emptiness, lack of emotion.“

Payton Talbott has the exact same black spot tattoo on his gut and back.

According to the research, his Tattoo is inspired by the character Grimmjow from the 2004 anime Bleach.

In the anime, hollows have big holes in their bodies, showing they do not have hearts.

Further, according to the fans, the hole in their bodies symbolizes the need to consume endlessly, the lack of a soul, and the lack of a heart.

Similarly, the fighter also has another big tattoo of a traditional Japanese Hannya mask, inked in all black on the corner of his belly. The Tattoo, complete with pointed horns and fangs, represents jealous female spirits.

However, it also has a positive meaning, as people believe it protects them against bad things and brings good luck.
