The Dubliner has turned to acting since quitting MMA last November.
Cathal Pendred has been showing off his new ink after landing a role in the Emmy Award-winning series Ray Donovan.
The 28-year-old walked away from the UFC late last year and has now embarked on an acting career.

The role on Ray Donovan comes after Pendred also landed a cameo in the upcoming Baywatch reboot, opposite Zac Efron.
“I’m doing a bit of acting as well – it’s something I’ve always been interested in,” he told 2FM’s Breakfast Republic earlier this year.
“I’ve done some small parts here and there but now that I have a bit of extra time and don’t have to focus everything on a fight I’m doing auditions.
“I’ve got a couple of auditions in the States for a few action roles, but I won’t say what they are.
“Action roles are the easiest way I see of getting in.”
