In October 2023, he was captured with a few of his siblings showing ink on his arm, though it was later speculated to be fake. However, some think his tattoos are real this time following his rumored split with Taylor. Here are some of the comments he received.

“Warden’s tattoo is back… After two weeks at Alyssa’s, Warden is back in Knoxville… hanging pictures at Carlin’s house.”
“If Warden’s tattoo is real then he is experiencing a rebellious fundie phase in his life & you go Warden.”
“I know people said it’s fake but I can’t get over how intricate and real looking it is…I hope he gets a real one lol. I would love to see the reactions of the family lol.”
“Fake or real, I think it’s great that he wants to express himself like this. So many young people are boxed in by their religion and have all their spark “trained” out of them by their parents. Even if it is a huge temporary tattoo of Jesus, rock it Warden!”
