Ryan Garcia’s tattoos and their meanings

‘Warrior’ tattoo on his left shoulder – Reportedly, his first tattoo decorates his left shoulder. In his words, it symbolizes what ‘Ryan Garcia’ is about. Since he is a ‘warrior,’ a tattoo should speak aloud in likeness. “The first tattoo I ever got is this was the warrior one; that’s just what I am. You understand what I am saying,” he said.

‘Lion with Crown’ Tattoo – The ‘Lion with Crown’ started gracing his left pectorals on January 8, 2021. Reportedly done by renowned tattoo artist Dr. Woo, it denotes the qualities closely resembling the traits of a Lion, the ‘King of the Jungle,’ such as bravery, strength, and power.

‘SHOCK THE WORLD’ Tattoo – The next tattoo the California-born boxer adores is the ‘SHOCK THE WORLD’ Tattoo. As the very words express, it means to go ahead and do something that jolts the wits out of everyone’s mind. Ryan Garcia said, “I got the tattoo of another message, ‘Shock the World.’ Doing things that people don’t think you could do.”

Tattoo near his left wrist – A mysterious candidate among the bunch, Ryan Garcia, reportedly said that it mimics his nature. It often leaves people bewildered, and on his part, the Californian allows them to form their views around it. If someone can decipher the meaning behind the tattoo, he is okay with that. “…I said I’ll let you guys guess what this means, and if anybody could figure it out, I’ll let them figure it out,” Garcia said.

Cross Tattoo – Ryan Garcia comes from a religious background. Receiving his baptism in 2021, he displays his seriousness about his belief systems and has a ‘Cross’ tattoo on his right forearm. He said about the ink, “The cross [tattoo signifies] the strength, the power in my right hand. Don’t underestimate the left one either, as it too has got that power.”

Dove Tattoo – The ‘Dove’ on his left pectoral is the universal symbol of peace. Reportedly, another work of art contributed by Dr. Woo on February 25, 2021, to Garcia corresponds to the holy spirit. He said, “I got dove on my body that represents the holy spirit that guides me.”

‘Laurel Crown’ Tattoo – Virtues such as nobility and triumph have, from times immemorial, been illustrated by laurel leaves. Hence a laurel wreath or crown invites immediate respect as it connotes a person’s achievements.

The venerable tattoo artist accomplished it on February 25, 2021. What’s your take on Ryan Garcia’s tattoos? Do share your views and opinions with us in the comments below.
