After One Too Many Drinks, Daniel Ricciardo Branded Himself in an Ode to an American City- but Why?

The F1 is growing rapidly in several nations and has now entered its recurring westward expansion. The Americans have long been the most ardent supporters, but they lacked a local hero until Daniel Ricciardo arrived. It now appears that the country has adopted the Australian driver. That being said, the Honey Badger revealed in one of his interviews with Red Bull how the acquired affection for America has made him have an LA tattoo while being inebriated.

The ex-Mclaren driver, who previously refrained from getting tattoos due to the discomfort of the procedure, now has up to 20 ink marks on his body, with the tattoo on his biceps serving as evidence of his affection for Los Angeles. Revealing the story behind getting this tattoo, Ricciardo said, “I was drunk when I got it…but I don’t regret it in the slightest!”

On many occasions, he invites his friends to visit him, which makes LA more enjoyable for him. The Honey Badger jokingly said, “Oh, I’m nice, but I’m not that nice,” Adding further, he said, “Normally I’ll be there when I have guests because that’s when it’s fun.” Ricciardo definitely enjoys the company of his friends and the love of Los Angeles city.

Daniel Ricciardo reveals the story of one of his tattoos

Any athlete who wants to be successful has to spend a period of their life away from home. However, for an F1 driver, this distance is extremely far away. Nevertheless, individuals like Daniel Ricciardo always find a solution to any issue. He decided to tattoo his body with the words “mum and papa” to keep his parents near to him.

Revealing the backstory in an Interview with AFP, he said, “Growing up, you are very close to your parents, then you get to the age where you want to move away from home and start being with your friends but then it comes back. You get to another age and you start to want to spend more time with them.”

Adding further, he said, “I am at the point where I don’t see my parents that much, but every time I see them, I love spending time with them and I wanted to get something for them. They don’t like all of my tattoos, but this one they have to like!”
