'Real Housewives' alum Phaedra Parks couldn’t believe her eyes, exclaiming, "Oh my god, I’m going to beat your..." before laughing it off and calling him "hilarious." 

Co-host Alfonso Ribeiro read the tattoo aloud, hesitating before saying, "Huh?" When Sosa pressed for his opinion, Ribeiro answered, "I’m going to say yes."

Six-time Mirrorball champion Derek Hough kept it short and sweet with a single word, "Fantastic," while dancer Alan Bersten responded with a supportive pat on the back.

Rugby player Illona Maher, who was emotional during the last episode, gave the tattoo a mixed review, calling it "awesome" but admitting it was "a little cuckoo," as per People.

Sosa had some fun with the moment on TikTok, syncing the reveal with audio from Delvey’s elimination, where she famously said, "Nothing," when asked what she’d take away from the competition.

Ezra Sosa opens up about the tattoo's deeper meaning

Ezra Sosa reflected on the tattoo’s significance in an emotional Instagram post on Thursday, October 10.

He shared, "I've been processing so much from my first season as a pro, and while there's been a lot to unpack, there's been a lot of good, more than I expected. It wasn't easy; the highs were incredible, but the lows were challenging in ways I wasn't prepared for," 

Though he acknowledged that getting the tattoo might not be the most conventional way to "work through everything," he explained that it "just felt right." 

"It's not about glossing over what happened but taking back control of my story. It's a quiet, personal reminder that l can shape how I carry those experiences forward, even if I can't change what's behind me," wrote Sosa. 

He concluded, "It's about accepting every part of the journey and moving on with a sense of clarity, knowing it's all part of my story on my terms."
