The Man City winger whipped up considerable controversy before the World Cup when it was revealed that he had got a tattoo of an assault rifle on his right leg.
Some thought that it glorified gun violence, while the player defended himself by stating it was a tribute to his father, who was shot dead when Sterling was young.
This time there will be no such controversy, after he revealed on his Instagram a new addition to his tattoo collection, which depicts him kissing his young son.
On the pitch, the winger got his season off to an excellent start as he impressively gave his side the lead against Arsenal with a solo effort that sailed past Petr Cech, and will hope to continue the form that saw him get 18 league goals last season.
