What is Justin Thomas’ first tattoo?
Thomas’ first tattoo is on his left arm, just below his elbow. This tattoo is meant to honor Thomas and his family and represents Thomas, his mother, and his father. The tattoo is three lines (or roman letters) that have a line on the top to make it look like a T for Thomas.
Thomas had explained the reason behind his tattoo on Instagram, revealing that the line meant his family, including himself.
What is Justin Thomas’ second tattoo?
Sometime after his first tattoo, Thomas decided to get a second one this time to honor his grandfather, Paul Thomas. Justin Thomas comes from a family of golfers, and Paul was the first professional golfer from the family.
His grandfather, unfortunately, passed away earlier this year in February. He was 89. Thomas apparently got the tattoo done before his grandfather died.
This particular tattoo can be seen on the inside of his right upper arm. This tattoo is actually the signature of his grandfather. Thomas even spoke about how he got the signature and had to involve his grandmother in the process.
“I said, `This is weird, but can you have grandpa sign something?'” Thomas said. “His signature is very Arnold Palmer like, and I always remembered that. I asked her to send me a picture of it. She said, `Should I even bother asking?’ I told her no”.

Thomas added that he ended up sending a picture, which was then showed to his grandfather. Paul even joked about the tattoo, telling Thomas that he would be asking him for residuals every time he saw it on TV.
Already having two tattoos, one can only wonder if Thomas might get a few more tattoos over the years.
