Shaquil Barrett paid tribute to his late daughter in a touching way this week... by getting the 2-year-old girl's face tattooed on his forearm, just three months after her tragic death in an accident drowning.

The NFL star turned to Tattoo Red to do the little Arrayah track...and the tribute came out perfectly.

The ink features an image of the little girl from her second birthday party...along with stars and a ray of light shining through the clouds.

Tattoo Red — who's inked athletes and musicians for 14 years — told TMZ Sports...it took about five hours to put it all together. The artist also said that Barrett's wife, Jordanna, also had her wrist tattooed in honor of Arrayah.
