AEW Star Darby Allin Shows Off New Face, Head, Neck Tattoo, Took 50 H

NO PAIN, NO GAIN

Darby Allin's rockin' a new look ... the AEW star showed off his brand new head and neck tattoo, and the finished product, which took 45 to 50 hours to complete, like the stunts he pulls off in and outside the ring, is jaw-dropping!

Allin hit up Atlanta-based tattoo artist Caleb Morgan ... who performed the intricate work on Darby. The tattoo took numerous sessions to complete, and runs from the side of his face and head, down to his shoulder and arm, all the way to his hand.

Caleb says the tattoo (which he described as an atmospheric extension of Allin's personality) was truly a collaborative work -- Darby had a vision, and he refined it with Morgan's help.

INKED UP

The new black and gray tat was visible on Wednesday's episode of "AEW Dynamite" when Allin saved AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy from a beatdown, with help from Sting.

The tattoo, particularly the neck section, looks like it'd be incredibly painful -- thankfully Allin, who just competed in the biggest match of his career (a Fatal 4-way), clearly has a high pain tolerance.

It's not Darby's first tattoo. The new piece seems to now complete a large tattoo that runs from Allin's cheek, all the way down his arm to his wrist.
