A Comprehensive Guide to Jason Momoa's Tattoos

In September 2022, Momoa got a new head tattoo in honor of his Hawaiian heritage. The design of the tattoo, created by artist Sulu'ape Keone Nunes, is similar to the ink that Momoa has on his left forearm. It features a shark-teeth pattern that is said to represent his family crest. The actor got the new tattoo on the side of his freshly shaved head.

"Mahalo to my OHANA for being there for me yesterday @suluape_keone it was a true honor 20 years in the making," his Instagram caption reads on the video.

Momoa has two kids, Lola and Wolf, whom he shares with Lisa Bonet. To show his love for his children, he got a drawing of their signatures in black ink tattooed on his chest. Though it's unclear exactly when he got the ink, it's from at least 2016.

In 2014, Momoa got a tattoo that says "Diablo" on his middle finger. The black-ink tat is in honor of a friend who passed away. "It's a new tattoo for my best friend who passed last year. Diablo."

Momoa's most prominent tattoo (at least prior to his head design) is the tribal shark-tooth design on his forearm. In a 2013 interview with Fresh TV, the actor revealed that the design represents a shark, which is his family's 'aumakua, a guardian or god in Hawaiian mythology. "It's supposed to take the darkness out and bring in the light," he said.
