Ben White, an Arsenal player, is dedicated to body ink.
The 25-year-old England defender’s chiselled torso 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.ButterflyWhite 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
An inspiring word, White’s body is covered in positive messages.
And on his neck he has the word ‘Shine’ inscribed.
Next to that, there’s a small cross.
We don’t know if White is religious – but when he grew up in Dorset he went to school Queen Elizabeth’s, which preaches strong Church of England ethics.

Lion
A massive tattoo of a lion’s eyes stretches across White’s chest.
The lion is a popular tattoo for professional footballers – with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Memphis Depay sporting them.
Again, it symbolises bravery and strength.
It was a tattoo that seemingly inspired his Arsenal team-mate Emile Smith Rowe, who later got a lion sleeve on his arm.

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.
They debuted a fresh pair of coordinated designs while on a rented yacht.
They both have adorable hearts on their thumbs this time.
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.
