Isaiah Hartenstein's Jesus Tattoo - What it means
Isaiah Hartenstein's Jesus tattoo is accompanied by thorns and a halo. These were the distinguishing elements of the tattoo. These elements symbolize the eternal light everyone has inside, and the toughness with which one navigates challenges.
The tattoo artist, Ossian Staraj, talked about it in his Instagram post, mentioning it took him two days to complete the inking. Appreciating Hartenstein's patience and strong will, Staraj wrote that Isaiah was tough in the pain, tough in the chair, and sat like a rock.
Hartenstein got the tattoo in 2023, marking an evolution in his style. He is one of the NBA stars who have their arms inked with biblical references, philosophical thoughts, etc.
Jesus tattoo is not the first one Hartenstein got. During his time with the Clippers in 2021, he flaunted an elaborate tattoo covering the outer part of his right arm. His first visible tattoo was inside of the left arm, which also carried text, 'Make every day your own Masterpiece.'

'Tristan is in the NBA, and he is in a different state every few days,' Khloé explained on the July 30 episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land.
