The New York quarterback’s tattoo artist, Balazs Bercsenyi, revealed the new artwork on his Instagram page on Thursday afternoon … showing Rodgers got the piece put right in the middle of his bicep.

It’s unclear why Rodgers chose the creature — or what the significance of the lettering around it is — but Bercsenyi explained the positioning of the dragon’s body was no accident.

“Second tattoo for the 🐐 himself @aaronrodgers12,” the artist said in a caption on the photos of the ink, “with a subtle hint for Aaron’s new jersey number #8.”

The 40-year-old signal-caller was clearly thrilled with how it all came out … writing in a comment on the artist’s page, “Happy Birthday brother! So thankful for you and your mastery.”

The tat is the second Rodgers has ever gotten … he previously had a pair of lions and an eyeball put on his left forearm.

Of course, Rodgers has plenty of time to sit in the tattoo chair these days — he’s been on injured reserve since he blew out his Achilles during NY’s first game of the season.

And, while he’s made a valiant effort to get back to the Jets this season … with their 4-8 record, it seems likely we won’t see him — or his new tat — under center on gamedays ’til 2024.
