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.

On the front his left forearm there’s a picture of a girl, but at the time of writing we cannot be certain who it depicts.

The other side of his left arm features scripts of his two daughters’ names – Emily and Bethany – along with their dates of birth.

This suggests that the face is a likeness of one of his kids, however we cannot say for certain.

Gerwyn appears to have quite a few more pieces of body art, including a flower that, but what they are and the meanings behind remain unknown at the time of writing.

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?”

However, there were a few supportive comments, with one fan saying: “I love it!”

Another added: “This man should be loved by so many, he’s amazing on the oche.”
