Demi Bennett also known to the professional wrestling world as Rhea Ripley is one of the most dominant female superstars in WWE. The Eradicator has been gaining the crowd’s attention and love from her fans due to her impactful heel persona. Bennett has been in the business for a decade now, starting her career in Australia.
Not only her tactics but also the way she presents herself are lauded by the WWE Universe due to her gothic look. Audiences have always liked Rhea’s demonic side and it is something that the star herself enjoys. Her Eradicator persona is justified by her behavior and the tattoos inscribed on her entire body.
Rhea has nearly 20 tattoos engraved on her entire body, which makes her look intimidating. Each of her tattoos has its significance and reveals a different story. Each array of patterns is a personification of her life and it adds elegance to her persona. While some of them are old, a few of them are recent inscriptions.
1. Mandala with Roses on the left knee
The striking tattoo on Ripley’s left knee was inked at Lowbrow Art Productions in Orlando. WWE’s official YouTube channel documented the whole period of her inscription. However, the tattoo was done to cover the whole left leg of Ripley with a filling near the ankle and the knee area.
The lower part has a quote from her favorite character, Vegeta from Dragonball Z. The quote says, “I do not fear this challenge! Rather like a true warrior, I will rise to meet it.” The second part of the inscription has a mandala with roses on the knee section. The mandala part is something that she likes and finds pretty, which even goes with her other tattoos. But the roses come from her late grandmother’s name, Rosetta, and also her middle name, Rose.
2. A girl with a wolf and a rose tattoo on her left leg
The tattoo is right between the aforementioned mandala and the quote inscription. A beautiful piece of art showcases a wolf bursting into tears but not crying. However, a girl present beneath her shed tears and had an avenging look on her face. A rose inscription is below it, whose meaning remains unclear.
A connected tattoo present beside this shows a pinky promise gesture between two hands. The hands of a human and a demon are shown making the promise. There is no specific meaning to this tattoo but only the trust towards the devil instead of the aforementioned backstabbers.
3. Demon holding a snake-wrapped dagger on her left calf
A dagger with the presence of a snake around it is on the calf area of Rhea Ripley. The tattoo is beside the roses with the mandala saying something about her past. The dagger possibly hints at the trust issues she has in her heart due to certain reasons. The snakes might be a reference to the traitors who is untrustworthy.
The meaning of these tattoos can be traced back to her past when she suffered betrayal from a toxic relationship. The girl possibly reflects Rhea Ripley and shows her growth from being like a rose to transforming into a fierce wolf. The tattoos are an embodiment of the Eradicator’s life story.
4. Satanic tattoos on her right leg
With a foreground interest in all things demonic, her tattoos speak for themselves in that case. Rhea’s right leg, ranging from the knee to the foot, has been occupied by a satanic demon with horns. The devil, having sharp teeth and being pierced with a sword wrapped around a snake in the mouth looks petrifying at first glance.
Another tattoo following up to the knee is of an alchemical symbol making a satanic logo. Several trident and arrow shapes forming an intersecting symbol glorify the placement of the tattoo. Rhea’s demonic obsession has developed due to her love for heavy metal bands that focus on elements of horror.
5. Devil within a woman’s face on her right thigh
The two-faced tattoo on Ripley’s right thigh shows a horned she-devil rising through the woman’s face. The devil represents a demon with two sets of eyes and a snake-like tongue that has come out. The hands of the woman are kept around her cheeks, knowing that the demon is breaking through the face of the woman.
This peculiar tattoo was inked during the pandemic, as Rhea posted about it on Instagram. Celeste Brown, a tattoo artist for Built 4 Speed, is responsible for all her recent tattoos, and this one was no exception. She had not revealed the meaning of the tattoo. Nonetheless, the rise of the demon could be a metaphor for it.
6. Matching tattoo with Toni Storm
Rhea Ripley has always been a fan of telling stories through her tattoos. Her other tattoos either describe her personality or indicate her liking for certain things. But a small tattoo on her right arm and Toni Storm’s left arm reflects the memory of a successful event. Both stars have a matching Roman numeral tattoo on their hands.
The inscription is a reference to the first-ever all-women’s event, Evolution, on October 28, 2018. The show saw Ripley’s victory against Dakota Kai to retain her NXT UK Women’s Championship. While Storm won the Mae Young Classic tournament finals against Io Shirai (now Iyo Sky). It was a monumental event for them and so, they have inscribed the date on their arms as a memory.
7. Matching tattoo with Dominik Mysterio
On the WWE’s Tattooed series, Rhea Ripley revealed that she had gotten a matching tattoo with former Judgment Day member, Dominik Mysterio. This occurred prior to SummerSlam 2023. Ripley revealed that she was angry at not being booked on the show and skipped the bus to the stadium. Along with Mysterio, she got a ghost tattoo on her right thumb.
Interestingly, they received a phone call during the process from WWE. The Judgment Day duo was informed that they would indeed appear on the show. Hence, they quickly finished their task and traveled to the stadium.
