Pedro Pascal is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in Hollywood right now, and for good reason. The actor kicked off 2023 with a bang, starring in two of the most-talked-about hits on TV – and winning over the hearts of viewers and critics alike. The actor brings to life the emotionally complex and incredibly nuanced character of Joel Miller in HBO’s live-action adaptation of the beloved eponymous game series “The Last of Us.” Though the explosive season one finale of the dystopian postapocalyptic saga came to a climactic close last year, the highly anticipated third installment of Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” arrived just in time to provide a weekly onscreen Pascal fix.

This year, Pascal is set to play roles in two new movies, “Gladiator 2” and “The Uninvited.” While he has been steadily building his acting résumé since the early aughts, his breakout performance as the fan-favorite antihero Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of “Game of Thrones” skyrocketed his career to new heights. Phenomenal artistic abilities aside, Pascal’s innate charismatic persona and incredible sense of humor have together cemented the actor as one of the most beloved celebrities out there. His newfound status has also led many fans to rediscover some of his old acting credits, shining a spotlight on Pascal’s lesser-known tattoo collection. Over the years, the actor has accumulated seven tiny tattoos that we know of. Most are inked in somewhat obscure locations, like behind his ear or on his upper thigh, likely for professional reasons, as they are far easy to cover up.

Since you, like many of us, might be wondering what his tattoos mean, we did some digging and rounded up Pascal’s seven tattoo designs. Keep reading to see a close-up and learn the inspiration behind each piece.
