Declan Rice tattoos: What are the meanings behind the England & Arsenal defensive midfielder’s body ink?
ENGLAND football star Declan Rice has enjoyed an impressive career on the pitch which has seen him earn a place on the England squad.
Like his fellow Three Lions team mates, the Arsenal star is a fan of body art. Here we look at what tattoos he has.
How many tattoos does Declan Rice have?
Declan Rice has two tattoos imprinted on his body forever.
He got one tattoo to honour the birth of his son and the other tattoo is a tribute to himself.
Arm band tattoo
In 2022, Declan Rice has a simple arm band tattoo.
The delicate inking can be seen wrapped around his lower left arm.
He debuted the tattoo during his a match against Brighton, back when he played for West ham.
The small body art was done to commemorate the birth of his only son, who he shares with girlfriend Lauren Fryer.
The tattoo shows his name, Jude, and his date of birth – August 7, 2022.
Declan also had the symbol for Jude’s star sign, a Leo, tattooed onto him in the same inking.
Legacy Knee Tattoo
Declan tattooed his international legacy number 1241 on his left knee.
In football a legacy number is a unique identifier assigned to players based on their sequence of appearances or caps for a particular national team.
It serves as a historical record to denote the order in which players have represented their country in international matches.
In 2023 fans noticed his new tattoo commenting on X, formerly Twitter: “Is that a tattoo on his knee?”
