I saw a lot of people thinking Ikkaku is wearing a lieutenant badge. This is not true. To me, it looks like a combination of light and his muscles. Another person told me if you look closely, it is a dragon tattoo. It is not a badge though as the shape is wrong (ikkaku's is square while a badge is curved) it also bears no markings.
