Tattoos
Ripley has a total of 20 tattoos on her body as of November 2024. However, when Rhea Ripley joined NXT, she did not have all of her tattoos.
Rhea’s tattoos range from personal ones to acknowledgement of the things she values. Ripley said in a podcast with veteran WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia that she has always wanted tattoos.
One of her most neglected tattoos is on her arm. Ripley and her NXT rival Toni Storm have an identical tattoo. Ripley defeated her in a competition to become the inaugural NXT UK Women’s Champion.
In reality, the two are very close friends. Two of her most visible tattoos are private. The first is a dagger on her arm, symbolizing trust concerns. The second one is on her calf and features a rose, a wolf, and a woman. However, Ripley did not explain the tattoo’s meaning.
The most prominent tattoo on her leg is the face of a devil. This may be mistaken for a demonic symbol. This tattoo represents her love and passion for heavy metal music.
Ripley previously stated in interviews that she adored the band Papa Roach and had performed as the opening act for a RAW performance. In a Flash Morgan Webster podcast, Ripley stated that she intended to be beaten by Bianca Belair and then get a tattoo of her in the ring during the War Games 2019 fight.
