Lorenzo Musetti’s documented tattoos center on three black-ink designs: a heartbeat line that becomes a tennis racket, an anchor marked family, and a quote from coach Simone Tartarini. The first uses a trace of Musetti’s own heart rhythm, recorded by his cardiologist uncle.
The heartbeat line and tennis racket tattoo
The line follows the peaks and dips of a heartbeat before folding a racket into the middle. It sits on Musetti’s left arm and is the most often photographed of the three. The racket is part of the waveform, not a separate emblem beside it.
How the cardiologist uncle shaped the design
Musetti said his uncle, a cardiologist, recorded his heart frequency and gave him the material for the tattoo. He chose a section of his own rhythm, which made the line personal before the racket was added.
The racket’s dark, crosshatched head interrupts the lighter waveform, and its handle drops through the line. The two parts read as one drawing.
The racket inside the heartbeat
Arm position can make the tattoo look shorter or wider in a photograph, but the design is the same. Close views show the racket and central peaks; match photos sometimes catch only part of the forearm.
AS USA reports that Musetti added the racket to show how tennis runs through his life. The BBC describes it as a racquet drawn into a graph of his heartbeat. Both accounts match the explanation he has shared.
Placement on Musetti’s left arm
The heartbeat design sits on Musetti’s left arm, though the exact visible area varies with the crop and pose. His parents, Sabrina and Francesco, had the same tattoo made as a sign of support, according to GSP.
The matching family tattoo
Musetti has also described an anchor with the word family as a symbol of the people who support him. The anchor is a compact, steady shape, paired with a word that states its subject plainly.
Family support in the collection
The matching heartbeat tattoo and the family anchor point to the support around Musetti. The first connects his parents to the design; the second names the people he says keep him grounded.
The coach quote: “Il meglio deve ancora venire”
The third tattoo is a line from Simone Tartarini, Musetti’s coach: “Il meglio deve ancora venire,” or “the best is yet to come.” The BBC identifies it as one of the three designs. No exact placement is established in the accounts cited here.
Collection summary
The published sources identify three tattoos—the heartbeat racket, the family anchor and Tartarini’s quote. Some photographs show small marks that can’t be classified from a distance, but the coverage doesn’t establish a larger inventory with the same confidence.
What the photographs show clearly
The GSP close-up isolates the forearm and racket texture. A Bluewin portrait shows the same arm beside Musetti’s face and tennis clothes, while a Reuters-credited image from Aktuálně.cz captures it on court. Wimbledon photos from his 2024 run show the line against the court as he raises his arms after matches.
These images show one tattoo under different conditions, not three separate designs. The arm’s pose and the sleeve affect how much of the line appears, while the published interviews explain the meanings Musetti has shared.
The documented collection in brief
Musetti’s three documented tattoos connect tennis to his own heartbeat, family to an anchor, and his coach to a line about the future. The photos establish the left-arm design; the interviews provide the personal context for each piece.
