It goes without saying that basketball players love getting tattoos. NBA players typically wear one or both sleeves. These days, it’s difficult to find even beginners without some sort of artistic tattoo on their body. Stephen Curry, the superstar of the Warriors, is unique, though. The man has very few tattoos, but the ones on his leg that depict animals all have deeper meanings. Each of Steph Curry’s children is represented by a tattoo on his leg.
The four-time NBA champion’s wife Ayesha has similar tattoos to the majority of his own. Starting with his legs, let’s examine the meanings behind each of his tattoos.
Steph Curry’s leg tattoo features geometric-shaped animals.
Steph and Ayesha both have geometrically shaped tattoos of a wolf, a butterfly, and a horse/unicorn. Each of their children is represented by the drawing on the side of the 35-year-old man’s right leg and his wife’s left arm.
Canon W. Jack Curry, their 4-year-old son, is represented by the wolf. Ryan Carson Curry, the 7-year-old daughter, is the recipient of the butterfly. Riley Elizabeth Curry, the oldest daughter, is symbolised by the horse.
He’s matching my style, luhhhhh. For us, each has a deeper significance and representation. Our little wolf will always be Canon. Ayesha once said on Instagram, “Riley is our horse; she’s free-spirited and we turned her into a unicorn because she’s our magical firstborn. Ryan is our butterfly—this one makes me cry with joy just thinking about it.”
Steph Curry tattoos on her wrists
Curry has the Hebrew phrase “Love never fails” from Corinthians 13:8 inscribed on his right wrist. Ayesha’s left wrist bears the same markings.
Steph has the numbers 30 and TCC (Trust, Commitment, and Care) on his left wrist, which stand for the jersey he has worn with the Warriors for the past 14 years.
The tattoos on Stephen Curry’s biceps
Although Curry’s bicep tattoos are arguably the smallest in the NBA, they have a very significant meaning.
The best basketball shooter, who is a devout follower of God, gets another Bible reference written on him. “He must become greater, I must become less,” says John 3:3.
