A December 2019 profile of Kyle Guy in the Sacramento Bee revealed that the player has several tattoos, most of which are hidden by his jersey. One that is visible during game time, is one on his left hand ring finger, dedicated to his wife.
The article also discusses at length another design:
A tattoo on his right thigh reads "Sisi ni Sawa," which is a line from a song in the "Lion Guard" TV show, a spinoff of Disney's "Lion King." The Swahili words translate to "We are the same."
He used to watch the TV show while babysitting his little brother. While that might be a cute anecdote, it's not the reason he got the ink.
It was the infamous 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville that inspired him. A woman was killed when a man plowed into a crowd of people protesting the neo-Nazi rally. Guy says the woman's name, Heather Heyer, off the top of his head when the incident is mentioned.

In a November 2019 video for NBC Sports, Guy described all of his tattoos. He explained his first tattoo had two separate elements - three crosses tattooed on the right side of his ribs, and across his shoulders, text reading "In such a way." The website Black Christian News noted that this text references 1 Corinthians 9:24: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.”
