Mike Holmes Tattoo Watch 2012 - FINAL UPDATE :(

Mike lied... although previously stating he would not unveil his new ink until September, the cat is now officially out of the bag! I guess our Holmes Spot Tattoo Watch 2012 was just too much pressure on him, and he had no choice but to release these pics [/sarcasm]. Honestly, I don't even wish for that kind of influence, but one thing is certain, the tats are BIG, and very elaborate. Mike posted these pictures on his website, yesterday.

As the above photos show, his right bicep sports a large English bulldog with big muscular folded arms and the all-too-familiar overalls. Underneath the bulldog (an homage to his previous tattoo, no doubt) is his slogan and trademark, Make It Right, which was added to his arm back in 2006 above the original bulldog, now covered. And finally, beneath the motto is a saw and hammer displayed in a crisscross fashion much like a skull and crossbones. Mike's enormous tattoo is framed by a large brick wall.

On his left bicep is a large and very ornate viking figure, on bended knee. The viking has long braids, big bulging muscles, and is armed with a sword across his back. (Is Mike Nordic? I thought he was Scottish. Hmmmm?)

This ends what could have been a fun and productive summer of trying to find elusive photos of Mike's new tattoos. Booo!!! The Holmes Spot officially grants you permission to go sleeveless once again, Mike. By the looks of it, you've earned it.

Mike Holmes Tattoo Watch 2012 - UPDATE

This is the first of what will undoubtedly be many updates in the Holmes Spot's Mike Holmes Tattoo Watch 2012. Mike has stated that his new ink will not be revealed until September, and as we get into the summer months, those long sleeves have gotta go! We expect peek-a-boos like crazy, and we fully intend to play tabloid and post any of the "scandalous" photos we find. Earlier this month, Canada.com published a nice clear photo of the lower portion of Mike's new tattoo on his right bicep. Today, Mike released a video where his RIDICULOUSLY HUGE ink was quite visible, but obstructed by the dim lighting.  We're like children waiting outside with binoculars for Santa Clause on Christmas Eve! So exciting!!!

Better keep those bad boys covered Mike... we're watching ;-)

6/5/12 UPDATE - Mike Holmes revealed his tattoos early.

Mike Holmes Tattoo Watch 2012

A couple months ago, I think around February or March of this year, Mike Holmes had the two tattoos redone on his arms. On his right arm, he had a small cobra, and on his left, he had a bulldog, along with a more recent 2006 addition of "Make It Right."

Both were souvenirs of his teenage years. Also, both were placed rather poorly and in desperate need of a little maintenance, two things which are very uncharacteristic for Mike Holmes. So, Mike decided to make it right, and have his tattoos covered up with some new artwork. What that artwork is, is as of now, a mystery, and will not be officially revealed until September. In fact, there was a contest for Holmes fans to guess Mike's mystery ink and win a prize. Well Mike, maybe you should be a liiiiitle more careful about your wardrobe choices, because there have been several peek-a-boo's on the internet as of late. Here's the latest, this one from a Canada.com article.

 

Not a full reveal, but Mike, did you mean to show so much skin, you f&#$ing tease?!!! This has definitely got my interested piqued. Cant wait to see the unveiling in September. Looks like Mike has doomed himself to a summer of long sleeves, good luck trying to keep them bad boy biceps under wraps.
