It is due to the fact that it his faters last name. It is well documented that his parents abandoned him and his brother at a young age and as he started to make it in boxing, his dad tried coming back around and saying that he owed it all to him and that he carried his name. After that Victor wanted to cover it up, so that is what happened.
He said it in the 24/7 when he fought Floyd.
He explained on 24/7: his father, who he hadnt seen in years, and he finally talked. His dad was a real prick, tried to take credit for all of Ortiz's accomplishments, and said it was his name on Victors back. That's why he changed it.
yeah that was pretty low

He wanted his last name covered up because his Dad told him "you have my name" So a rebelious Ortiz covered it up with that blob of sh$t you see today.
my guess is, maybe Victor realizes that its an insult to carry his family's name on his back, since he was abandoned by both parents as a child, and he's been pissed off at his parents since.
Dunno about both parent's abandoning Victor, (prob true) but I vividly remember Victor's dad leaving, because when his Dad came back into his life
he made a comment about the Ortiz name being tattooed on Victor's back, thus Victor getting it covered over
**all on 24/7

Yep that's the reason. He said it on 24/7
Apparently his dad told him that he'll always have his name on his back so he changed it.
hehe I thought that cut was a bad photoshop doesn't look real to me.
horrible tattoo.

here is another photo which looks more realistic.
I dunno man it seams to me like it's a tribal tattoo...I thought he should have stayed with the old tattoo...I have a feeling that this tattoo he has isn't finished cuz you don't wanna have too much ink in your blood before a fight...and that cut happened in the Marvin Cordova fight...Ortiz had that cut and didn't want the fight stopped due to cuts from elbows....it was issued a draw but Ortiz was winning
thanks,

horrible tattoo.He prolly asked the tat guy to just do what ever he needs to do to cover his old tattoo.
Yea I saw that in the weigh in vid. I think that was kind of wack of him. He did it because he started to hang out with with some modern pred cool crowds and surfer dudes. Unfortunately, he was stuck with his spanish last name written in old english letters while all his California beach pals had cool tribal tattoos. His tat ended up being to embarassing for him because he is now a cool beach dude from Cali that is sponsored by Affliction with those MMA type dudes with that certain fashion style. Some thing about what he did does not sit too well, I dont know something about mind weakness.
And that pic at the bottom is from the Cordova fight.
Both are terrible tattoo's.
What's worse than a tribal tattoo? Getting your own name on yourself.
Lose-Lose situation
Ortiz had the old name tat during his fight with Campbell, so this one is fresh.
