Kevin Owens started his wrestling journey at age 16 and recently marked 11 years with WWE. During a recent appearance on WWE Tattooed, he shared insights about his career path and interests outside the ring.
Before signing with WWE in 2014, Owens established himself on the independent circuit. His career began in L’Assomption, Quebec, Canada, followed by four years at Combat Zone Wrestling. He later gained prominence in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Ring of Honor before achieving success in WWE, including winning the Universal Championship in 2016.
During his YouTube interview, Owens revealed an unexpected passion that could have led him down a different professional path. He discussed his interest in paleontology, connecting it to his current body art.
Before I knew I was gonna be a wrestler, the only other job I ever imagined myself having was digging up dinosaur bones

Evolution of Kevin Owens’ Tattoo Collection
When Owens first joined WWE, his tattoo collection was minimal, featuring only the “LIVE” inscription with a backward “E” on his left inner forearm and a bull design on his right shoulder. His current appearance showcases full sleeve tattoos on both arms, many incorporating animal and prehistoric themes that reflect his longstanding interest in paleontology.
