Is That a Nude Portrait Tattoo of Blac Chyna on Rob K.’s Arm?

Rob Kardashian is by far the most tattooed member of the Kardashian clan, although younger sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner are close on his heels, and the 29-year-old recently showed off a tattoo on his arm that fans believe may be a tribute to his fiancée and baby mama, Blac Chyna. The tattoo in question is located on his left forearm, below his heart and crown of thorns piece, and features what appears to be a naked woman with black hair and angel’s wings, done in the image of Blac Chyna.
Rob Kardashian posted a sweet photo of himself and his fiancée embracing on Instagram last week, and in it you can see the portrait tattoo. But the first time that photo popped up online was actually in January, when Blac Chyna posted it to her own Instagram account. In the grainy black and white photo, Blac Chyna is holding onto Kardashian’s heavily-tattooed arm, right in the spot where he has what appears to be tattoo of her as a nude angel.
Being that the tattoo photo is actually a throwback from earlier this year, Rob Kardashian must have gotten the ink shortly after he and Blac Chyna started seeing each other, which seems to be his modus operandi, judging by the number of times he’s gone under the needle in the past for a tattoo dedicated to a (now-ex) girlfriend. Fortunately for the 29-year-old, and their newborn baby, this relationship with Blac Chyna appears to have stuck.
If Rob Kardashian’s tattoo is, in fact, a tribute to Blac Chyna, it wouldn’t be his first. Over the summer, Kardashian debuted some fresh ink on the side of his neck of what appeared to be an Arabic spelling of the model’s given name, Angela, or “Anjila.” At the time, it was suggested that his neck tattoo may have been a tribute to the couple’s unborn baby, a girl they reportedly planned on naming Aniyla, but when Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian welcomed their baby girl into the world in November, they ended up naming her Dream. So, it looks like the ink on the side of his neck was done as an homage to Blac Chyna after all.
In addition to his Blac Chyna tattoos, Rob Kardashian has several other tribute tats honoring the people he loves, including a large tattoo of his mother, Kris Jenner’s, face on his right arm, and a matching portrait tattoo on his left forearm of his late father, Robert Kardashian, who died of esophageal cancer in 2003.
