Aaron Rodgers is entering his 18th year in the NFL, and at 38-years-old, he is showing that it is never too late to make a permanent change on your looks.
Rodgers took to Instagram on Wednesday to show off his first tattoo. The massive piece of art has a lot going on. The Green Bay Packers did not explain anything about the tattoo when he first put it on Instagram.
He has since updated his caption to state that there is a “deep and meaningful story and connection” to every aspect of it.
“First tattoo. From the (goat) himself @balazsbercsenyi Grateful for his mastery and friendship,” Rodgers wrote. “There’s a deep and meaningful story and connection to absolutely each element of this art piece, and I’ll share a little more about that one day. For now, just thankful for @balazsbercsenyi and his patience and artistry. #tattoo #astrology #theelements.”
The tattoo appears to be on his left forearm and features a lion that is calm as well as an angry one across from it. Above both of them is an eye and the ocean sits at the bottom.

Balazs Bercsényi, the Hungarian tattoo artist tagged by Rodgers, is described on his website as having a “distinct, identifiable and meticulous style.”
“His artistic work is heavily influenced by ancestral practices and ritual, spirituality, sacred geometry, the occult, and sculpture,” Bercsényi’s website reads. “He leads the industry as an expert in single needle and fine line black and grey talisman tattoos, which have become his trademark signature for independent art projects.”
Rodgers has won the NFL MVP each of the last two seasons.
Last month, Rodgers told reporters that he “definitely” wants to retire as a member of the Packers, adding, with a twinkle in his eye, “unless they trade me.”
