TATTED ON TOPAfter the job was finished, Jones said he heard his late mother, Camille, tell him to stop getting tattoos.
Jones has seemingly hit a rough patch since the Las Vegas Raiders cut him back in September ... including numerous run-ins with law enforcement and bizarre Instagram posts.
It's unclear what exactly is going on with the Super Bowl champion ... but his followers have expressed concern and support in the comment section of his uploads.
TMZ Sports is told Chandler has been staying with his brother, Arthur, recently ... and being around family has done a lot of good for his situation.

The "Messiah" ink isn't the only new addition -- Jones also got "Beyoncé Giselle Knowles" on his arm to show love for the music icon ... which was done by artist Chris Benvenuto at West Coast Tattoo Parlor in Las Vegas.
