The new tattoo was done at Oliver J Tattoo studio in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex.
The welterweight also has a large cross on his chest and the words Fear God across his stomach.
Benn, now undefeated with a 13-0 record, came through a gruelling points win over French rival Cedrick Peynaud at the end of July and has had to nurse a sore hand back to fitness.
After winning their second encounter 98-91, 98-90 and 97-90 in his first ten-round fight, Benn said: “I never realised how hard ten-rounds are.
“I really hurt my knuckle on my right hand in the first round so I need to get it checked.”
