Gerwyn Price's tattoos
Professional darts player Gerwyn Price, also known as "The Iceman”, has a number of tattoos.
While specific details about all of them have not been reported, here's what we can tell you about the known ink on his body and what it might mean.
Left arm
Price has tattoos of a pocket watch and a rose on his left hand and wrist.
Pocket watch tattoos often symbolise the passage of time, important times and dates in a person's life, or a connection to family history.

Rose tattoos can represent love, beauty and passion.
In 2016, while the ink was still fresh, Gerwyn took to X/Twitter to say: "Bit more of the tattoo done by @ultimateincTATS #pocketwatch #rose #loveit".
The work was done at Ultimate Inc in Pontypridd, Wales.
Gerwyn has a host of other tattoos, which can be seen in pictures of the thrower.

Back tattoo
The 2021 world champion has a tattoo of his own name on his back.
He made the surprise admission in a 2023 video for PDC Europe.
Gerwyn sat down for a question and answer session with fellow darts pro Rowby-John Rodriguez, when they were asked about whether they had ever got a random tattoo on a drunken night out.
The Welshman replied: “It’s not random, it was when I was younger — it’s my name on my back. How rubbish is that? I was 16.”
He then laughingly revealed another of his nicknames, "Gezzy", inked on his lower back.
Fan face tattoo
One super-fan has taken his support for The Iceman to another level.
The darts-mad punter saw a lifelong wish come true when he ran into the Welshman in January 2023.

And he made Price’s day by unveiling a full-size tattoo of the ace’s face screaming in celebration.
Price looked to enjoy the moment as he posed for a photo next to the inking.
But other darts fans were less enamoured, with one saying: “I see a lifetime of regret in his future!”
Another laughed: “Is it Annie Wilkes in Misery?”
One declared: “You forgot the ear muffs.”
Another added: “Why does he have a tattoo of Phil Jones?”
