DEEP MEANING: Arsenal star Ben White’s tattoos revealed, from a butterfly on his back to a sentimental heart on thumb and neck inkings

Ben White, an Arsenal player, is dedicated to body ink.

Ben White's body is adorned in tattoos

The 25-year-old England defender’s chiseled body is covered in several tattoos.

His most recent tattoo, which went viral on TikTok, is a butterfly drawn by A Star Tattoos on his back.

He flaunted similar ‘I Love You’ tattoos in the summer, which he had gotten done shortly after being engaged to Milly Adams, his fiancée.

Meanwhile, the word “Shine” is printed in a classy black typeface on his neck.

SunSport examines his tattoos and speculates about their possible meanings.

Butterfly

This Butterfly tattoo is White's most recent

White added a butterfly to his chest, which was written beneath an inspirational quote on his back.

Its meaning is unknown, however it might allude to the idea of taking off and taking off very high.

Ben, like his football squad, is having a great time right now.

It was made by A Star Tattoos, a subsidiary venture of A Star Barbers, who are well-known for cutting Paul Pogba and Jack Grealish.

SHINE

A word of inspiration, White’s body is emblazoned with affirmations.

Additionally, the word “Shine” is engraved on his neck.

White has the word 'Shine' written on his neck next to a cross

Adjacent to that is a little cross.

White may or may not be religious, although when growing up in Dorset, he attended Queen Elizabeth’s School, which upholds strict Church of England morality.

Lion

Tattoos of lions - seen here across White's pecs - are popular with footballers

White’s chest is covered in a huge tattoo of a lion’s eyes.

Professional football players, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Memphis Depay, are known to have lion tattoos.

Once more, it represents courage and power.

Emile Smith Rowe, his teammate at Arsenal, appears to have been influenced by this tattoo as he later got a lion sleeve on his arm.

Matching Ink

White and fiancee Milly Adams have two matching tattoos

White proposed to his lovely fiancée Milly Adams last summer.

In celebration, the infatuated pair had matching “I Love You” letters inked on their hands.

They were later seen having a romantic vacation in an unidentified sun-filled area.

On their thumbs White and Adams have red hearts

They debuted a fresh pair of coordinated designs while on a rented yacht.

They both have adorable hearts on their thumbs this time.

A Libra star sign symbol and the date 1959 also feature on White's hand

Ben’s hand also has his star sign, Libra, and the year 1959 written on it.

It’s unclear, although that might be the year a relative was born.

Born to Do It

1997 on the base of White's neck symbolises the year the Arsenal star was born

White has another instantly recognizable tattoo on his back.

His tattoo of the year 1997 is located just below his neck.

That represents the year of his birth.

White still has a lot more football years ahead of him at 25.

It also implies that he still has time to obtain further ink.
