Internet superstar and celebrity gambler Dan Bilzerian takes the phrase “living on the edge” to a whole new level. He has a weakness for high-stakes poker games, lavish parties, guns, and beautiful women, but is he also a fan of tattoos?
Surprisingly enough, Dan Bilzerian doesn’t have any tattoos – at least not in any visible places. Despite the fact he never felt the need to put something permanent on his body, the famous playboy doesn’t seem to mind other people getting tattoos.
Avoiding Tattoos?
Dan Bilzerian never publicly addresses his lack of tattoos, and it’s unclear if there’s a special reason why he doesn’t have any. If he actually had any ink in visible places, it wouldn’t be difficult to notice, since he often shows off his ripped muscles on Instagram.
Part of the reason why it’s so surprising that the “King of Instagram” doesn’t have any tattoos is that they perfectly fit into his lifestyle. Studies have shown that people with tattoos tend to be more prone to engaging in high-risk behaviors, and that’s basically Bilzerian’s whole shtick.
Some people tend to avoid tattoos because they can lead to skin infections and allergic reactions, but Bilzerian never confirmed this is the reason why he doesn’t have any.
Encouraging Others
Dan Bilzerian may not have any tattoos, but he doesn’t shy away from convincing other people to get them. Instagram superstar enjoys flaunting his wealth on every turn, and he even used some of it to trick others into getting tattoos.
Back in 2012, Bilzerian shared a photo of a man who tattooed his face on his leg, and said he paid him to take this drastic step. The tattoo in question showed Bilzerian posing with a huge grin on his face while holding a gun.
About a year later, he posted a photo of fellow poker player Jeff Gross with pride flag tattooed on his neck. According to Instagram’s Playboy King, Gross agreed to get inked after receiving $550.000 from businessman Bill Perkins.
Gross didn’t think the whole thing was such a big deal, since he supports LGBT rights and isn’t opposed to gay marriage. Bilzerian’s followers felt the same way after seeing the photo, and agreed they would’ve tattooed pretty much anything on their body in exchange for $550.000.
Bilzerian’s Signature Trait
Dan Bilzerian may not have any tattoos, but that doesn’t stop him from being instantly recognizable. In addition to hitting the gym on a regular basis to maintain his muscular shape, he’s best known for his perfectly groomed beard.
Bilzerian spent the last two decades fully embracing his facial hair, but it took him some time to get there since his beard gave him a lot of trouble – especially during his time serving in the US Navy.
“It was the bane of my existence growing up. I would shave every morning and by 11 o’clock it would look like I had two days’ worth of stubble,” Bilzerian told Economic Times while discussing his “instant stubble”.
Bilzerian’s signature beard is so popular that it’s possible to find numerous step-to-step guides in case you’re trying to grow one just like it. The playboy millionaire is fully aware how many people appreciate his beard, and he found a way to profit from it.
Bilzerian started his own brand of grooming products under the name Alister. It sells a wide range of body, hair, and skincare products, including shave creams, post shave creams, and colognes.
Final Verdict
Dan Bilzerian doesn’t have any visible tattoos, despite the fact they would perfectly fit in his high-risk lifestyle. You could still recognize him from a mile away thanks to his ripped muscles and signature beard, and it doesn’t seem he’s opposed to the practice since he’s encouraged other people to get inked.
