Danica Patrick's Stunning Tattoo Unveil Ignites Wild Social Media Buzz

The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver took to Instagram to expose her tat, breaking out a hot, red bikini in some poolside photos, also displaying an impressive set of abs.

Patrick, who has been retired since 2018, spent a few years living in the United Kingdom and decided to get a tattoo of the American flag on her lower back after returning home. She put it on full exhibition in the post below, admitting it was probably not done perfectly.

“I got that American 🇺🇸 / checkered 🏁 flag tattoo (no Picasso 😆) when I came back from living in the uk for 3 years from 16-19…. Because I was proud and grateful to be home. Thank you to those who make safe and free. 🙏🏼,” she wrote.

You can see her tat, and more, in the slide below:
