Elina Svitolina recently unveiled a new tattoo on her inner shoulder, explaining that it is dedicated to both her daughter, Skaï, and her native country, Ukraine.
Offering a close-up view of her discreet tattoo—a cursive letter “ï” adorning her inner shoulder—Svitolina provided details about the profound significance behind this new addition to her body art:
I begin the year with a significant tattoo. This written symbol “ï” possesses crucial meaning to Ukraine, acts as a charm for Ukrainian prosperity and represents the idea of Ukrainian independence. Additionally, the name of my daughter Skaï incorporates this symbol, thereby enhancing the strength it holds.
From the very beginning of the Russian invasion in Ukraine in February 2022, Svitolina has used her platform and influence to advocate for her country.
