Tattoo: On his right forearm, there is a portrait of a young man, which is actually Nathan’s grandfather.

Nathan said that he has just to look down on his grandfather, George Jones, to keep himself going since he was the one who has ever had the most significant influence upon Nathan’s football career and achievements. He knew he would lose him one day, and this tattoo is his most significant attribute to his granddad.

“At the time I didn’t have anywhere near as many tattoos but it was just more as a tribute, just knowing at some stage in the pretty near future I was going to lose him and seeing as we couldn’t communicate verbally I wanted to show him how much he actually meant to me.

10. Portrait on Shoulder

11. Wolf Lady Tattoo

Tattoo: On the outer side of his right leg, Nathan wears another tattoo that shows a wild wolf woman, a face of women headed by a wolf face.

Meaning: A lady with a wolf headdress is the symbol of spiritual safeness, stability, devotion, and the real spirit of the wolf. Also, as per Native American Culture, the wolf is also believed as the spirit guide and also witnessed as a protector of souls in the afterlife

12. Roses and Writing Tattoo

Tattoo: On the inner side of his right forearm, there is Spanish writing that includes the words, ‘presenciaviva.’ Also, the words are surrounded by roses on the sides.

Meaning: Spanish writing stands for ‘living presence’ when translated into English. The roses, on the other hand, symbolize love, affection, and a tribute of love for a loved one who is no more. This might be his dedication of love for his grandfather, whose portrait is inked on the same location.

“The day I showed him, he couldn’t speak at all and probably the last memory I have of a real key moment. You could just see him try and say what he wanted to say in his eyes and how much it meant to him. It was a pretty surreal moment for me.”
