MLB's Dmitri Young: Meat Hook Tattoo?? Hell Ya.

When you've got a nickname as bad ass as "Da Meat Hook" ... ya gotta get one tatted on your body, right?

That's exactly how ex-MLB star Dmitri Young feels ... 'cause the 2-time All Star told us he loved the nickname so much, he HAD to memorialize it in ink -- and he showed us!

Also, Young had a busted finger ... courtesy of an 8-year-old with a baseball bat.
