It featured a portrait headshot of his father, who passed from cancer in 2003, in the middle of a series of clouds, sunshine and angel wings.

The tribute inking couldn't be missed, spanning from the elbow to the forearm.

Rob, a dad of one, gave thanks to his tattoo artist as he gushed in the caption: "Thank You brother!! @misterctoons 💪💪🙏 💙💙."

His elder sister, Kourtney Kardashian, was quick to comment, posting two prayer Emoji icons as well as a love heart and sparkle characters.

Another fan posted: "Wow it looks just like your dad great work."

Dancing With The Stars alum Rob was just 16 when his father passed.

Robert, who gained national recognition as OJ Simpson's friend and defense attorney during the sports star's murder trial in 1995, is father to Robert and Kourtney, as well as Khloe and Kim Kardashian.

Khloe previously told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen of the impact of her father's death on her brother, and said: "I think Rob hit a dark place more so dealing with my dad's death that happened later in life.

“He kind of had no direction, and I feel like he felt lost [at college afterward], and I think that's when he started dealing with my father's passing."
