Yesterday there was a cute picture posted by Justalilikoi (the IG account of an adopted rescue puppy). This helped us fangirls out of our misery, to see the new tattoo on Alex’s finger in full.
Please take note that the puppy does not belong to Alex, but to one of the crew on the show.
For me this picture gives some insight into this man’s heart and soul!
And when we zoom in on the hand – Mystery Solved – it is a Trident!
Of course the Trident symbol means different things to different people, depending on your culture or where you are from. But I kind of feel that it has something to do to with “conquering the seas.”
Last year there were a number of pictures posted by Trident Adventures of Alex and Beulah Koale diving with them, and also Chi McBride’s wife posted about him and Alex diving in August 2018.
From Trident Adventures site:
“Diving with US Navy SEALs is to dive with the absolute best of the best. The attention to detail these guys have in every aspect of the experience, for every person they take out, is unmatched in the industry.”
– Alex O’Loughlin, star of Hawaii 5-0
Back in December 2018, Paula made a post about Alex diving with them over a period of time: Diving fun
And from Trident on IG back in December 2018
We just LOVE it when Alex is having fun!! 
And thanks to everybody who found and shared the pictures on all their different accounts – it makes our lives easier.
Alex O´Loughlin ~ An Intense Study 
The puppy pic nearly killed me this morning. Cuteness overload of course, but furthermore as FOYeur said it so well, it says so much about Alex as a human. At ease with a little (totally adorable) puppy, both relaxed. Puppys know good people!
And now we know it is a trident, and that is such a well thought tattoo with a lot of meanings, his love for the ocean, his life changing role as a SEAL, and maybe as FOYeur mentioned in another thread, his three children.

Oh my gosh, if I didn’t already adore this man, I do now. Alex knows how to relax. What a sweetheart, a kind and loving person. He’s built a close bond with the SEALS. Those diving pictures are wonderful. And the SEALS clearly respect and admire him. It’s wonderful to see Alex having fun.

So cute! Thanks for the tattoo updates! I realize that isn’t his puppy, but how many dogs does he now have? I remember reading somewhere that they have two dogs, but I can’t recall where I saw this.

I saw Malia jogging with their dog last november. It’s a really cute dog. But the puppy is just unreal.

Once again Alex is shown as a loving, caring person. I personally wouldn’t want to be the puppy. I would love to be Malia. She is his one and only and everyone should be so lucky

That picture with the puppy is the absolute sweetest pic I’ve seen in a long, long time. And I think you might be right on the meaning of the trident. He certainly loves to dive. Thanks for posting

I love Alex showing his loving and gentle side. This pic with the puppy is too cute!!❤❤
Thanks FOYeur for giving us the latest on Alex’s new tattoo. With his love of the water and his involvement with the Navy Seals it could be the reason for his trident tattoo.
