One of his most recent tattoos is a fierce-looking eagle on his left forearm.
Below the eagle Luka has an eye tattoo, also known as the Eye of Providence. Luka also has a number ‘7’ on his arm, which is the number he wore for Real Madrid when he played in Europe.
Doncic uses the number ’77’ for the Dallas Mavericks and the Slovenian national team.
Towards the right side of his body, Luka has a tattoo of the EuroLeague trophy, which he won in 2017-18 with Real Madrid.
Elsewhere, Doncic has an inscription of the Latin quote “Non desistas/Non exieris”, which translates to “Never give up/Never surrender”,
Above that is an image of a tiger, because Luka “just likes tigers“. He added: “I said if I go to US, I will buy a tiger – like Mike Tyson.”
He has yet to buy one, though.
