Unlike a great number of his compatriots in the NBA, Rajon Rondo is not clad in full arm-sleeve tattoos, nor does he have a substantial amount of pieces all over his body. As a matter of fact, there's only two that we know of.

A thorough review of Rondo's body — at least the parts of it that are accessible to our view — reveals a very clean set of arms and legs. There are also no visible tattoos on his hands, feet, and neck (and his face too, of course). Here are some photo evidence:

Clearly, Rondo hasn't spent much time inside a tattoo parlor. He was probably too busy working on his game (and his body). He may not look it, but the 6-foot-1 point guard is actually pretty ripped. See an image of a young Rondo below for reference:

Looks like a cover from a body building magazine, right? This photo should give any one person second thoughts about messing with Rondo. We're looking at you, Chris Paul.

Anyway, we've digressed a bit. Let us now proceed to the much awaited part of this groundbreaking article: his actual tattoos.

As mentioned earlier, there are two known tattoos on Rondo's body. First is a huge piece he has on his back that bears the Rolls Royce logo. When you hear anyone say that Rondo has the Rolls Royce of back tattoos, that's actually not a figure of speech — he literally has the “RR” logo inked permanently on his back.

We're not entirely sure if Rondo is a car enthusiast, or if he actually owns a Rolls Royce. Then again, he could certainly afford one (or five), given how he has earned more than a hundred million dollars throughout his NBA career.

The more logical explanation for Rondo's back piece is that it spells out his initials. Having one's own name — in all forms and fashion — is perhaps one of the most overused tattoo designs, and Rondo decided to jump on the bandwagon.

Rondo has another piece that has revealed itself discreetly in some photos that are available online. Take a look at the snap below and see if you can make it out.

In case you didn't see it, the tattoo is right under his left arm. It seems to be partly located on his back, which is why we can't really see what it says/shows. It does look like a word, though, and that appears to be a big “R” right smack in the middle. Then again, we could be wrong. What do you see?

It appears that Rondo got this piece a while after he got his first one on his back. If you examine the first image of his “RR” tattoo, this new piece of ink is not there yet.

I guess we'll need to ask Rondo himself what the tattoo is and what it means.

Be that as it may, what we are certain of is that Rondo will go down in history as one of the great playmakers in league history. For those who have a short memory, he actually played a pivotal role for the Celtics in their 2008 championship run. He was perhaps the fourth member of the Big 3 of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen.

Rondo was easily a Top 10 (dare I say Top 5?) point guard in the NBA during his prime.
