- Every tattoo is a story waiting to be told.
I'm Corey Graves.
And this one is about a Lone Wolf.
Who lets his fists do most of the talking.
But the colorful tattoos
that cover his intimidating presence
reveal the true identity of the man behind the mayhem.
This is Superstar Ink.
Today’s chapter is Baron Corbin.
This is the second season of Superstar Ink,
but it is full of firsts.
This season we will see someone tattooed
on camera for the first time.
You actually are the first two-time guest on Superstar Ink.
- I don't think it ever aired.
It was, what, the pilot?
- It was the pilot.
It's not uncommon to see some heavily tattooed superstars.
I'm with one of these guys right now,
NXT Superstar Baron Corbin.
Thanks for hanging out.
So fortunately, because I know you like to tell stories
over and over again,
you get to tell all the stories again.
Because now people amongst the WWE universe
will get to see them.
- All right, all right, all right.
- So where do you wanna start?
Because you actually are probably, aside from myself,
the most heavily tattooed guy in the WWE.
- We can start with the new one.
- Let's start with the newest one, yeah.
- We got a brand new one.
My man Nate Click out of, uh, Fort Wayne Indiana, did it.
And I told him we're gonna start a full leg sleeve here.
And I said I want a gnarly one-eyed wolf to start it out.
We're gonna hit a Candyman.
I think Candyman's gonna come up here
with his hook, his bees.
Because I'm a huge horror buff,
as you know from when you lived on my couch.
- True story.
- Uh, we got Jack the Ripper.
We have some song lyrics down at the bottom.
You know, "I am the agent that decided your fate."
That's our boy Danny, Amigo the Devil.
You know, we got, you know, my dad and my grandfather.
So my dad's dad.
He was 101st Airborne.
You know, these are two men that shaped who I am today.
- Explain deeper about that.
I mean, a lot of people have family tattoos or whatever,
you have portraits of both these gentlemen,
and you said yourself,
they kind of helped shape who you are.
- Yeah, for sure.
They were both, you know, hard working, blue-collar guys.
Both my dad and my grandfather were iron workers.
So they worked every day building buildings, bridges.
You know, it's kinda one of those thankless jobs
that people don't realize how hard they are.
And you know, my leg says "Farm your keep,"
and it's one of those things where they instilled in me
to work hard for the things you get,
and it doesn't always happen overnight.
- [Voiceover] Baron Corbin from behind!
Baron Corbin won the Battle Royal!
- [Voiceover] Came to WrestleMania, had an opportunity,
and kicked the damn door in!
- [Corey] What about on your arm?
You got a 13 up there.
- [Baron] Yeah, you know, a lot of clocks.
The whole sleeve is clocks and crows.
And it's all family.
Each clock actually is a family member's birthday.
13's my birthday.
And then the crows, to me, and through history
crows are believed to be messengers through worlds.
And so my dad being gone, and stuff like that,
the crows can deliver messages,
and they're protectors and all that.
So yeah, it's a cool sleeve that nobody ...
When people just look at it they don't think,
"Oh man, that's a family sleeve."
It's just, you gotta find ways to make it your own.
And the way it is with tattoos,
tell your story, but in your own way.
- [Corey] A lot of people miss ...
Everyone gets so wrapped up in the meaning that
sometimes it's just fun.
Like, you have tattoos that you think are funny.
- Yeah.
- They have a good story behind them,
they don't really mean much of anything.
- I've got uh ...
And then things are cool about tattoos too,
below the minion it says "Shenanigans."
I went down with four of my friends
to Atlantic City one night,
and it was one of the most fun nights
I've ever had in my life.
It was a tattoo we all got,
we all got the word shenanigans, with the date.
And it was with Ryan Dunn from Jackass
and Matt, Seth, and Zach was part of the group.
That shenanigans tattoo is a hilarious story
but now it's a great memory.
- [Corey] Right, it's got a deeper meaning.
- You have my PA, for Ryan and Zach.
You know, we all have that, all the guys from West Chester.
We all have our little tribute to Zach and Ryan.
So that's the fun thing about tattoos,
sometimes you don't ...
We're gonna get a random one eventually
that'll probably be pretty funny or stupid.
- I'm sure it's gonna be ridiculous.
- And it'll be a reminded of a great story and a great time,
you know, twenty years down the road.
That's what's cool about this stuff.
- I don't think the world quite realizes
the stories that we could tell.
We definitely can't tell it in six or eight minutes,
like we're trying to.
- No, no that's for sure.
- All right, well I suppose we're gonna call this to an end,
because there's a big event tonight.
I don't wanna see you until ...
I mean, you're gonna go to SmackDown,
I don't wanna see you until ...
- All lies.
All lies.
All those text messages you send me at night,
being like, "Come visit me, I miss you."
- It's getting weird.
Before it gets any weirder ...
- That's what we do right?
Yeah, we're gonna get outta here, all right.
This is Baron Corbin, I'm Corey Graves.
Thank you for hanging out.
This has been Superstar Ink.
- Be good.
