Meanings Behind Caeleb Dressel’s Tattoos<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Caeleb Dressel’s tattoos are badass. He blames his brother for all his tattoos. Growing up, Caeleb always looked up to his elder brother. When his brother got a full sleeve tattoo, he saw how cool and how artful it was. So he copied him and went to the same artist as his brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caeleb has seven tattoos on his body. He is in speedos for his profession, so he likes to get tattoos that reflect his personality. His left sleeve is covered with four tattoos, including an Alligator, a Bear, an Eagle, and an American flag on his left arm. Caeleb has the Olympic symbol tattooed on his right arm, consisting of five interlaced rings with five colors. Let’s jump into the meanings and stories behind these tattoos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caeleb Dressel’s Gator Tattoo<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Caeleb grew up in a small town called Green cove springs in Florida. He also went to the University of Florida. Football was Caeleb’s first love before swimming. His university football team (Florida Gators) has an alligator for its logo, and Florida is also the home to a quarter of America’s alligator population. Caeleb also wanted to get something that represented water as he swims for a living. So it made perfect sense for him to get a gator tattoo. It was his first tattoo as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
