While he doesn't have a tattoo on every inch of his body, Hardy has quite a few that look really cool. But a lot of his fans don't know about the backstory of those special colorful body arts on Hardy. Without further ado, here's a look at the tattoos The Charismatic Enigma has on his body and the stories behind each of them.

7 Back Piece Shows A Demon

Back in 2019, The Hardy Boyz defeated The Usos on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 35 to become the Tag Team Champions of the blue brand. However, their reign only lasted for the next three weeks because Jeff injured his knee and was out of action for the whole year.

Sometime later in July, he started a huge back piece that took a lot of time to get finished. In After the Bells, Hardy revealed that the idea for this was to show a demon that he has struggled with for many years. It's about Jeff's issues with alcohol and how he's gotten into trouble because of it before.

6 Twin Demon Tattoo On Neck

Jeff Hardy also has a twin demon tattoo on his neck. At first, however, he only had it on one side of his neck, but it looked cool to him so he got another one as well.

The twin demon tattoo looks like it's choking Hardy and as per the Superstar, the demons symbolize his darker days. As fans might know, Hardy has had issues with alcoholism and drug addiction in the past and he has even wrestled in the ring while being intoxicated during the match.

5 The Dragon Tattoo On Left Leg

This dragon was the first-ever tattoo that Jeff Hardy got in his life. It's the same one that he had to hide from his father.

Jeff hasn't gotten it colored yet and it's already been multiple decades since he first got it. Despite that, this tattoo is nowhere close to being finished. Hardy said that he always adds more to it.

4 A Rattlesnake Tattoo

On the right side of his body, Jeff has a huge rattlesnake wrapped around the roots. He also had an interesting story to tell about this one.

According to Jeff, he didn't have a snake at first because he has always been afraid of them. The roots were colored in some parts and many people confused it for a snake. This gave him the idea of getting an actual snake inked on his body as well.

3 Octopus Strangling A Bunny Tattoo

Jeff Hardy appeared on Ink Master in 2012 as a guest canvas. He got tattooed by Jesse Smith, who's very famous on the internet. Smith inked with an octopus squeezing the neck of a bunny on his left leg.

The tattoo took six hours to get finished and Hardy claimed that he only got up twice during the entire session. There wasn't any special meaning behind the tattoo, but it's the one that Hardy hasn't uncovered yet which means he's very satisfied with it.

2 Left Wrist Tattoo Connects Him With His Wife

The one on his left wrist also has a very special meaning for Jeff. On Superstars Ink Extra, Hardy was asked about the tattoo. He said that it's actually two letters combined to form the tattoo.

It's a matching tattoo that he and his wife both have. Jeff originally never wanted to get inked in his right arm, but he changed his mind just for this one tattoo.

1 The Hardy Boyz Symbol On The Back Of His Neck

Another tattoo that Jeff Hardy has is on his back and neck. It is the symbol of The Hardy Boyz because it's been a huge part of Jeff's career being in a tag team with his brother, Matt.

It's also the tattoo that Matt Hardy has been wanting to get for over a decade. But Jeff doesn't think that his brother will get the tattoo. Matt once replied to a fan's tweet in 2013 and said that he won't ever get a tattoo as it's just not his thing.
