Chicago Blackhawks forward Max Domi, 27, shared the journey of his tattoos, several marking a significant moment in his life.
Blackhawks hockey Max Domi discusses the personal meanings behind the sleeves of his tattoos on his arms at Fifth Third Arena on Jan. 10, 2023.But did the future Chicago Blackhawks forward known the insignia — two snakes coiled around a staff — carried added meaning as it related to him?The caduceus, the staff of the Greek god Hermes, bears a pair of wings at the top, a representation of his speed. And Hermes, among several things, is the god of athletes.
He knew he was going to get a tattoo one day, but also knew it wouldn’t go over well with the folks at home: “My parents are pretty old school, so they were against me getting tattoos from Day One.”As a Type 1 diabetic, Domi has a medic alert bracelet to instruct paramedics in case of an emergency. But he hated wearing it, so “I always either would purposely forget my bracelet or just lose. I wasn’t a big fan of jewelry at the time, so I never really wore it and my mom would always get mad.
“So I was walking on the bus and I go, ‘Oh, dad, by the way, did you see my tattoo?’ He goes, ‘Ah.’ His jaw hit the floor,” Domi laughed. “I mean, he doesn’t care now. But it’s just different times.”If Domi had to do it over again, there could be a little adjustment here or there, “but I do like all my tattoos. I wouldn’t change any of them. I don’t regret any of them. They all have a meaning to me personally.
“ a lion that represents who he is as a person, how he played hockey and how he lives his day-to-day life,” he said. “Very similar to a lion in my mind.“The ‘333,’ that is what is scratched into the stone there with his initials and his birthday. He had 333 career fights, which is the most all time in the NHL.”
Murphy said he admired Domi’s dedication to his form of expression but added he’s “too nerdy to have tattoos.”The “Type 1 diabetic” tattoo was his first, but others on his left arm symbolize attributes of his personality or key moments in his life.“Port Credit Arena is right next to this lighthouse,” he said. “And I always would be crossing from my childhood house to the rink.
Domi described himself as a “big card player” and has 13, his “lucky” sweater number, inscribed on his upper arm.AdvertisementDomi got his finger inked, too, just because he couldn’t take it anymore.
