Captain Munnerlyn, an American football cornerback free agent is known to be a big tattoo lover. Captain began playing football during his High School at Murphy High School in Mobile, Alabama. He has played for the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills. Munnerlyn has got his name ‘Captain’ from his great grandfather as it was chosen by his mother. Let us explore his body tattoos and their secret meanings.

1. ‘Mama’ Tattoo

Tattoo: On his left forearm, Captain has got his mother’s portrait tattooed along with the words, ‘Know Love’ below it.

Meaning: Captain, shares a very lovable bond with his mother. Evelyn Munnerlyn. He got this tattoo at the age of 18 years and did not show it to her including other inks till the time his sister revealed it to their mother and it happened when Captain was almost 20 years old.

“It’s the one of my mom. I got it when I was 18 years old. I kind of snuck and got it. My mom is a preacher so she didn’t know I had tattoos. I never had any below my elbows. I used to hide it when I was in high school. I had my initials on the back of my arm and my mom never knew—even though I played football and ran track. I’m sitting there like I know she sees them, but she never said anything to me. One day my sister told on me. I had come home from college and had just gotten some on my leg and my sister saw it and she said, ‘Momma you need to tell Captain to stop getting all these tattoos.’ She said, TATTOOS?! By that time I probably had 20. I had to take off my clothes and show my mom my tattoos. She saw the one of herself and said, ‘Oh my God that looks just like me!’”

2. ‘Praying Angel’ Tattoo

Tattoo: On his inner right forearm there are some dark clouds inked along with a female figure with folded hands shaped into the form of praying hands and facing towards the sky.
