This is on his right bicep and is based on one of his favorite Chicago landmarks, the owl perched on the Harold Washington Library, the central library for the Chicago Public Library system.
The owl is often used as a symbol to represent knowledge.
The tattoo was created by Esther Garcia at Butterfat Studios in Chicago.
