A Complete Guide to Daniel’s Tattoos

(requested by anon, also my life’s work)

His (famous) thigh tattoo

• Ship and a lighthouse to represent home and traveling the world. It says “No Regrets, Only Memories” and is symbolic of his journey to F1. Got it in 2013 when he was announced as the new Red Bull driver - it was his first tattoo. He thought if he got a big one he’d only get one (he was wrong). It’s front and center on his right quad. 
• “Mum and Papa” in a heart above the back of his knee. I have never heard him refer to his father as “Papa.” Date: 2017.
• The flower on the inside of his knee. Date: sometime after October 2, 2016.
• Couple with a love letter. Inside of his thigh. Date: 2017? Acquired after the flower and the eagle.
• Eagle - he got this one in America. Back of the thigh. 
• Girl racer. Outside of his thigh. (There’s also a flower above the girl racer - rare to spot!)
• Boxer - the way I LOST MY MIND when he pulled down his pants to reveal this one. Date: 2018. (More talented people than me have made beautiful gifs)

A rare look at the thigh piece not completely filled in

Right foot

• “Live fast” on top of his foot. 
• Compass on his ankle. This is a matching tattoo he has with some of his friends, including Michael.

Right arm

• “Free” on the side of his forearm.
• Treble clef on his wrist - because he likes music so much. 
• “3” on his pinky - a personal favorite.

Left arm

• Rose on his left hand. No meaning to this one, just pretty. Date: between July and October 2018.
• “Love” on his forearm. Date: August 2019.
• Cupid on his forearm. This one has a personal meaning behind it that has to do with family, but he has not shared what that meaning is. Date: July 8, 2019.
• “Shine On” on his bicep. Got it in 2018 when going through the ups and downs of figuring out his future.
• “LA” on his bicep. Confirmed that he was drunk when he got this one.
• The baby with the skull on the inside of his bicep. If this design has a meaning he doesn’t know what it is! He got it on whim because he liked it. Date: October 16, 2020.
• Cowgirl on his tricep. Date: sometime in 2018. I have in my notes that he got it later than the rose.
• Astronaut on his shoulder - another personal favorite. Date: December 9, 2019.

Chest

• “Of Love and Life” - lyrics from a Caamp song. Date: August 26, 2021.

(Because oh my god, it’s so hard, and everyone’s all like stop feeling so bad about yourself and it’s like how???) 

• Be naked. A lot. Sleep naked. Have sex naked. Eat cereal naked. (Or naked and wrapped in a sheet. Favorite thing.) 
  
• Follow beautiful, confident, (un-photoshopped) body-positive babes on the Internet. Unfollow anything that makes you feel insecure. Exposure is key. You’re not going to get it if you don’t seek it out, because the media sucks and wants us to feel like shit about ourselves so they can take our money. (Some hashtags to follow: #effyourbeautystandards #bootyrevolution #blackisbeautiful #transisbeautiful #wheelchairlife #fatkini #fatshion)
  
• Lingerie. Next best thing to being naked. 
  
• Self care, babe. Different for everyone. (Me? Showers, books, shaving my legs, nature walks, dark lipstick, good playlists, clean rooms, candles, sexy time.) 
  
• Get ready in your underwear. Boobs = happiness. 
  
• Self portraits. Be pro-selfie. Take a million selfies. Take sexy selfies. Take no makeup selfies. Take bad angle silly selfies. Take artsy tripod selfies. Take everything-is-on-point selfies. You’re gorgeous; document your gorgeousness. You don’t even need to post them. 
  
• Stop with the self deprecationnnnn. Pleeeeaseeee. It’s hard to control your thoughts love, I know, but you can control what you say. NEVER insult yourself out loud. Dare I say compliment yourself out loud? (And if you can, do your best to try to body-positive-ify your thoughts too.) 
  
• Sex (including solo sexy time), wine, and chocolate. In that order. 
  
• Share the body love. Compliment your girlfriends. Cultivate a nonjudgemental, supportive, lift-each-other-up “we’re so cute” friend group. Everyone’s insecure. Compliment your besties. And strangers, too. Be that person that makes everyone feel good about themselves when they’re around. 
  

Good luck gorgeous. It’s a battle. We gotta unlearn all this societal bullshit.
