Notable tough guy Anthony Bourdain will stop at nothing when it comes to tough guy acts. Would he eat the raw heart of a newly dead field mouse served over rosemary couscous? Yes. What about using snake venom as a chaser for a tasty cold brew? No problem. Would Bourdain travel to Malaysia to receive a hand-tap tattoo on his chest? Come on, big guy, need you even ask?

The man, the myth, the legend (shirt that points to penis) Anthony Bourdain was visiting Sarawak, Malaysia when he decided to add a hand-tapped tattoo to his growing collection of body art; Bourdain already had tattoos of a snake and the logo for television show The Taste. What do we think this new tattoo is of? A #Durian maybe?

Perhaps at the opening of his forthcoming international market—which, you guessed it, is named Bourdain Market—he will reveal the hand-tap tattoo to his fans, admirers, and other tough guys. Personally, I hope it’s an illustration of his wife’s face.
