This week’s episode of Tapout found the crew in Chicago, IL at Curran Martial Arts. The guys were there to check out Pat “Patty Mike” Curran, cousin of MMA fighter & trainer Jeff Curran.
Jeff made a point to poke fun at his cousin’s tattoo, “CCA” that he had on his ankle. It stood for Country Club Acres, that he got when he was 15. The guys took him to get a “real” tattoo. He got a crest with the Curran name and both the flags of Ireland & the United States. Looked like good work.
Curran’s fight was at XFO 23 in Lakemoor, IL on April 25, 2008. His opponent was Lazar Stojadinovic. Pat dominated the majority of the fight and won by decision bringing his record to 2-0.
*Note: After the show was filmed, Pat Curran won a split decision bringing him to 3-0 against Amir Khillah at XFO 25 on August 9, 2008 in Island Lake, IL.

hey pat. First off nice fight but the main reason I am writing on this blog is because of your tattoo. I have five brothers and we are all 100% irish and want to get a good ass tattoo to show it. Your tattoo that you got was pretty fricken awesome and I’de like to take some ideas from it if you dont mind. Could you please post it on this blog or the internet (like google image or something). Thanks

Pat, please post a close up pic of that tat you have. We have been trying to get our son to draw a family crest and your tat will give him a few good ideas – i absolutely love it!! Nice.

This site is not in any way affiliated with Pat Curran or Tapout. I do not have access to pictures of his tattoo.

Im on the same boat as “Tat Fan”. Well where would we go, as in what alternate blog should I go to to see the tattoo Domejohnny?

I wish I had answers for you. I’m sure trying to contact Pat directly won’t result in much as I’m sure he’s extremely busy training. Your best bet would be to wait until the show replays and try to get a screen shot that way.
