If you happen to notice Rosa’s chest tattoo, you’ll see the phrase “eu sou teu e tu es meu.” It translates to “I am yours and you are mine.” Sounds like something out of a love letter, right? And the first thought that comes to mind might be that it’s a message to someone special. Maybe her girlfriend, Denise Gomes? It’s definitely personal, but do you think it’s just about love, or could it represent something more profound? For many, tattoos like this aren’t just about a person. They’re about a feeling, a commitment to something larger than themselves. So do you think this tattoo symbolizes a bond, or is it a reminder of self-love and strength?

 

In a sport like MMA, where fighters are often expected to be tough as nails, Rosa’s tattoo portrays that she has layers too. Beneath the muscle and grit, there’s heart. It’s a reminder that even the fiercest fighters have personal stories and deep connections. What about Rosa’s other tattoos? Let’s have a closer look.

Other tattoos of Karol Rosa

Okay, now let’s talk about the bird tattoos on her arm. These tattoos are so much more than just cool designs. Birds have been a symbol of freedom, personal growth, and change for centuries. So, what’s the deal with all those birds? There’s something poetic about birds, don’t you think? Flying free, soaring through struggles, just like Rosa in the cage. She’s faced a lot of obstacles, but she’s always come out on top. Remember her submission loss to Melissa Gatto in 2018 when she made her return to bantamweight? After this, she soared with six consecutive wins and solidified her place.

Birds are often messengers, and in many cultures, they represent protection and hope. Do you think Rosa’s tattoos are a nod to her rise in the UFC? Or perhaps they symbolize her fight to stay true to herself despite all the pressure of being in the spotlight?
