Tattoo Artist for Aaron Rodgers Had to Look Up the QB Online

In December 2023, Aaron Rodgers posted a picture of his dragon tattoo on Instagram, which raised interest in the artist who created the eye-catching design for the Jets quarterback. Balazs Bercsenyi, a tattoo artist from Brooklyn, created the design.

The fact that Bercsenyi didn’t immediately know Aaron Rodgers’ identity, however, remained hidden. To find out that Rodgers is regarded as one of the game’s legends, he had to Google the NFL player.

During an open moment in Aaron Rodgers’ Enigma series on Netflix, Bercsenyi acknowledged: “I definitely connected with Aaron. I mean, I also didn’t know who he was. No idea who he was. I think the day before, I think, I searched, I was like ‘Aaron Rodgers.’ I Googled, and I was like, ‘Okay, NFL.’ And then people told me, ‘Yeah, he’s the most famous quarterback.’”

Known for his keen sense of humor, Rodgers retorted mockingly, “He’s (Bercsenyi) a big football fan.”

If that wasn’t enough, Bercsenyi’s subsequent statement demonstrated his lack of NFL knowledge. “Quarterback, right? Yeah? In the whole league. And, like, yeah, one of the best. And I was like, ‘Sh*t, okay, okay. Whatever that means.’”

Regarding the tattoo itself, Rodgers had a certain idea in mind right away: it needed to be meaningful. He wanted something that represented this new phase of his career after moving from No. 12 with the Green Bay Packers to No. 8 with the New York Jets. He said:

“Me making a number change this year from 12 to 8, I wanted to get some sort of symbol. And 8 sideways is infinity. So definitely wanted the infinity symbol. Then I woke up this morning, and I had this intuition about a dragon. And then it just all came together from there,” 

In order to discreetly transmit the number 8, which is Rodgers’ new jersey number with the Jets, the tattoo design incorporates a Chinese dragon that wraps over itself. Interestingly, the words “two” and “twelve,” which allude to his tenure with the Packers, are placed on either side of the dragon.
