Luka’s tattoos explored
Luka Doncic has many interesting tattoos, some of which basketballs fans can see from a distance during a game.
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.
What is Luka Doncic’s back tattoo?
During games, fans have noticed Luka Doncic’s back tattoo, but have struggled to make out what it actually is.
One fan wrote: “I’m just curious if anyone knows what it is? There’s always a part of it visible but I’ve never seen a picture of it and I can’t tell what it could be.’
Well, the back tattoo is actually a map of the world, with a huge “basketball with a crown” covering most of Europe.
The design is tilted so the part fans usually see is Australia.
A clear image of the back tattoo is difficult to find, but on the video below (at 2 mins 39 sec) you can see it clearly.
