Carlos Alcaraz is one of the most promising young players on the ATP circuit at present. The young Spaniard has carved out a niche for himself on the courts. Alcaraz is already a two-time Grand Slam champion, and he has the potential to win many more. Given his accomplishments despite his age, Alcaraz has found a way to commemorate his feats by getting inked.
Many athletes love to turn their bodies into canvases for tattoos, including Carlos. The world No. 2 has his fair share of tattoos, and they hold a special meaning to him. In this article, we will take an extensive look at all the tattoos that Carlos has gotten over the years.
Carlos Alcaraz has three C’s inked on his wrist
In his short career, Carlos has already achieved more than most other players have ever dreamed of. Ever since he made his professional debut in 2020, his career has been on an upward trajectory. He quickly climbed up the ranking ladder and burst into the top ten.
Carlos has found a lot of success on the tennis courts. In 2023, he won the title at the Miami Open and celebrated his victory by getting his first tattoo. He had three C’s inked on his left wrist.

The three C’s stand for ‘head’ (Cabeza), ‘heart’ (Corazón), and ‘balls’ (Cojones) in Spanish. This tattoo has a special meaning for Carlos due to his grandfather.
He attributes his success to his grandfather and the significance of the three C’s in his life, on and off the court. They represent energy, bravery, and mental resilience—all the traits that Carlos holds dear. “My grandfather always told me to focus on the Three Cs: head, heart, and balls,” he said (via Daily Mail).
The date on his right elbow
2022 turned out to be a remarkable season for Carlos Alcaraz. He won his maiden Grand Slam at the US Open when he took on Casper Ruud in the finals and defeated him 6–4, 2–6, 7–6, 6–3.
With this win, Alcaraz shot to the top of the rankings, and he established himself as a force to be reckoned with. His first major title was a special one, and he etched the date, ’11-09-22′, just above his right elbow.
Carlos’ third tattoo on his foot
The world No. 2 has added a third piece to his tattoo collection, and this one also marks a special feat. He took on Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final and defeated the Serb to engrave his name in the history of the sport.
Alcaraz’s third tattoo looks like a strawberry, with the date ’16-07-23′ above it. This tattoo sits on his left leg, on the lateral side of his left leg, just above his ankle. A tattoo is quite popular among Wimbledon champions, including the women’s singles winner, Marketa Vondrousova.
Carlos Alcaraz is undoubtedly a tattoo enthusiast. The young Spaniard will hope to add quite a few more tattoos to his collection long before he hangs up his racket.
