Why did my cat try to nip me?

What about it?

He is an old man, very tame. Has only bitten me once in his life (when he was 5 years old) he trusts me enough to touch his stomach and boop his nose but for some reason when I was petting him, he tilted up his head and when the middle of my palm touched his chin he tried to nip me... why? I wasn't coming on as aggressive or anything, as soon as I felt his canine teeth brush against my skin I removed my hand. Why did he do this?

Moved into my storeroom as a kitten. Took me two weeks and a piece of string before I could touch her. Now she believes she owns the place.
