Jeremy Sochan, a star player for the San Antonio Spurs, has talked about his large collection of tattoos and explained what some of them meаn.
The 20-year-old NBA star is known for being artsy and expressing himself through art and creative hairstyles.
Jeremy Sochan, a star for the San Antonio Spurs, has a lot of tattoos all over his body.
Sochan recently talked about what some of his tattoos meаn.
Part of Sochan’s arm sleeve is an ink drawing of Icarus falling from the sky from Greek legend.
The player who was picked ninth overall also has a skull on his wrist, which stands for life and deаth.
Sochan talked about his tattoos while getting a new one. The new one is of a hand holding a globe with Poland, Germany, and the UK on it, which are all places where he played or grew up.
The hand is put on top of a sun that is completely black and a three-dimensional star shape.
There is a flowing geometric honeycomb that holds the Pole’s arm sleeve together. The famous tattoo artist Zac “Lefty” Colbert worked on the ink and other parts of the sleeve.
Matthew Mangano from Tidal League went with Sochan to the tattoo artist’s shop. The NBA starlet told Mangano that he got his first tattoo, a sun on his thigh, when he was 16 and on a family trip to Croatia.
The 6-foot-8 forward said that during the session, his stepfather Wiktor Lipiecki got a tattoo that matched his.
Sochan then talked about what some of the tattoos on his body meant.
The skull and birds on his wrist represent life and deаth, and the lines pointing away show that bad energy is leaving the body.
The spiral around the head shows that good energy is staying with him.
The Spurs star has an artistic picture of the Vιrgιn Mary and Jesus on the outside of his wrist. It was inspired by a figurine his mom gave him when he was young.
Sochan said that the figure was always with him, no matter where he went in his long life of travel.
The former No. 9 pick in the NBA paid respect to the Greek mythological figure Icarus by putting the words “never too high” above him and “never too low” below him on his shoulder.
The story goes that Icarus was trying to get away from the island of Crete when he went too close to the sun. The heat made his wax wings melt, and he fell into the water.
The tattoo serves as a warning to Sochan not to let the ups and downs of his life and work get to him.
A clock is on the Spurs forward’s arm, a tree grows out of a heart is on his chest, a skeleton pharaoh with the eye of fate is on his right shin, and on his hand is an open eye with crossed keys.
Sochan said that the tattoos and red hair on his body show that he wants to be different.
“My mom always told me, ‘Don’t put yourself in a box. Just be yourself.'” “I think that’s what made my art and tattoos stand out,” he said.
Sochan was recently named the “InkedNBA 2023 Rookie of the Year” by the Instagram account Inked NBA. The Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum was given the tattoo MVP award.
