Rob Kardashian's most meaningful tattoo tributes explained

Kim Kardashian once famously said you wouldn't put a bumper sticker on a Bentley when explaining why she'd chosen never to have any tattoos, but her brother Rob Kardashian clearly doesn't agree, as his body is a canvas of inkings.

Far from meaningless etches, many of Rob Kardashian's tattoos have heartfelt sentiment behind them, paying tribute to many of his loved ones, including his father Robert Kardashian and his mom, Kris Jenner.

We take a closer look at Robert Kardashian's emotional tattoo collection – including the ones he potentially regrets…

Rob Kardashian's tattoos for his girlfriends

Not afraid to share his affection for his romantic partners, Rob has had several tattoos to show his love for his ex-girlfriends.

He dated Disney star Adrienne Bailon from 2007-2009, having her name inked onto the side of his torso in cursive letters.

They later broke up, and Rob got the inking covered with a portrait of his next girlfriend, Rita Ora. His sister Kylie Jenner joked about the ink on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians when she was 18, saying: "Rob’s stupidest tattoo is when he got Adrienne and then covered it with Rita."

Fans also speculated that Rob had the mother of Dream, his daughter, tattooed on his upper arm, though he has never addressed whether Blac Chyna makes an appearance in his inkings.

Rob is a doting daughter to his daughter, Dream, but he doesn't appear to have any tattoos dedicated to his little one, however, when her mom was expecting her, Rob had Aniyla tattooed onto his neck, which fans speculated would be the name of their daughter.

Aniyla means wind and is associated with the Hindu god of the wind – perhaps when their little one arrived they felt Dream suited her better as a name!
