Aaron Rodgers Debuts First Tattoo After Shailene Woodley Breakup

“There is a deep and meaningful story and connection to absolutely every element of this artwork, and I will share a little more about that one day,” Rodgers captioned his post, thanking tattoo artist Balazs Bercsenyi for his “ mastery and his friendship".

The athlete, a Sagittarius, also hashtag #astrology and #theelements. The quarterback promised to "share a little more" about what his ink "someday" means. aaronrodgers12/Instagram

Rodgers' teammates joked about the tattoo, with Packers pal David Bakhtiari joking, "Hope it's a henna tattoo."

Former Packers player Tom Crabtree joked, "You need full sleeves on both arms by week one," adding, "Text me for tribal and nickelback tattoo ideas."

Fans also poked fun at the elaborate art, with one writing, "The new playbook looks complicated" and another asking, "Tom Brady got you a tattoo?"

Rodgers and Woodley seem to be healing from their emotional breakdown in different ways; Woodley is "nourished" by nature and his friends, and Rodgers speaks out on his arm.

Aaron Rodgers’ New Tattoo Is Only For Himself And His Fellow ‘Students Of Astrology’ To Understand

Rodgers has won back-to-back NFL MVPs, but he's reportedly dating a woman who goes by the name "Blu of Earth," participated in a Panchakarma cleanse after last season, and, of course, recently got a pretty big one inspired by the astrology tattoo on his left forearm. "If you're not a student of astrology," Rodgers recently told reporters, "there's going to be some weird stuff in there."

Rodgers went on to explain the tattoo a bit, saying it represented his two godchildren.

The explanation for the tattoo lines up perfectly with what we've seen recently from Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers Reveals His First Tattoo But Not 'Deep And Meaningful Story' Behind It. David Bakhtiari Chimes In.

Photos on his Instagram account show his forearm adorned with elaborate ink that includes face-to-face lion heads (one steely, one fierce), still waters, an eye and a maze of astrological symbols. What exactly all of this means only the 38-year-old Green Bay Packers quarterback knows, and as he likes to do, he's keeping fans in the dark, at least for now. “There's a deep and meaningful story and connection to absolutely every element of this artwork, and I'll share a bit more about that someday.

What is known is that it is the work of Balazs Bercsenyi, who is described in his website biography as "a multi-dimensional tattoo artist from Pécs, Hungary, with a distinct, identifiable and meticulous style. He goes on to call him "an expert in black and gray one-needle, fine-lined talisman tattoos, which have become his trademark signature for freelance art projects."

So while some may comb through the philosophical and spiritual titles of his Aaron Rodgers Book Club selections for clues or try to read a rumor there last month that linked him to podcast host Blu (who neither confirmed nor denied knowing herself but had her clarify in an Instagram story that she doesn't identify as a "witch"), can we just let the Packers offensive lineman and future dad David Bakhtiari keeping things real with his sense of humor? "I hope it's a henna tattoo," he wrote in the comments on Rodgers' Instagram.
