This is a beautiful full-leg tattoo that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott got to honor his family and his background.
The 30-year-old just finished his seventh season in the NFL and will start his eighth season with new tattoos.
As seen in the picture, Dak Prescott first showed off his new tattoo in March.
In March, the artist Andres Ortega posted images of Prescott’s ink.
In honor of his late brother Jace, a moose was depicted in the tattoo.
Prescott’s right leg is mostly covered in a tattoo that was first revealed on Instagram in March by the tattoo artist, Andres Ortega.
Prescott was put under anesthesia during the whole eleven-hour workday, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Not unexpecteԀ, however, considering that he had several artists working on him at any one time. He chose to be drugged.
The artwork pays tribute to his departed family members, with a moose standing in for his brother Jace, who tragically took his own life in 2020.
In memory of his mother Peggy, who tragically lost her figҺt with cаncer ten years ago, there is also a pegasus.
The insignia of Pine Creek Estates, a mobile home neighborhood in Louisiana where Prescott grew up, is also featured on the sleeve.
In addition to the Air Jordan emblem and Daffy Duck, there’s a black mamba as a nod to NBA great Kobe Bryant and boxing icon Muhammad Ali.
Among other things in the collage are the playing cards, the Dallas skyline, and two linked hands.
He told the Star-Telegram, “I finished all of this in one sitting.”
“I went for around two more hours the day after I went for ten plus one day.
“They came over on a Friday, ran over all the ideas, worked on them and printed them and came back the next day and laid them on my leg.”
However, it seems that Prescott was unfazed by the idea of spending eleven hours under sedation.
“People are gonna think it’s crаzy and it is crаzy,” he said.
“I get that. But I’m deranged. I am, and that’s my point. I am aware of this. I have nothing to feаr.”
It turns out that the Cowboys brass was unaware of this previously.
Prescott claims that after he “saw Mike the next day and my leg was big, he was ‘what (happened to you)?’” head coach Mike McCarthy learned of the incident.
Owner Jerry Jones was not informed of the sedation until a press conference held this summer at training camp.
“I certainly didn’t know he was under for ten hours,” Jones acknowledged.
“Just so you’re clear, I had no idea about tattoos,” he subsequently added. I had better catch up on it.
“I had no notion that any tattoo required that level of anesthesia. It clarifies for me why I’m not a tattoo artist.”
Fans appeared to be just as shocked, as seen by one’s Instagram remark that read, “First time ever hearing someone use anesthesia for a tat.”
Another said, “Oh no. That stung, I know. I adore you, Dak.”
“Yeah, I need some numbing cream for something like this,” remarked one.
Prescott, who recently got inked, is hopeful that his new body art would bring him luck as the Cowboys attempt to better their 12-5 record from the previous campaign.
They play the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in a prime-time match on Sunday, September 10, to begin the 2023 season.
Also included as a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant is a black mamba.
Prescott also painted a pegasus over the Dallas skyline in memory of his late mother Peggy.
