The duo of Spiderman and Batman tattoos are the biggest and newest tattoos that Neymar wore for himself in 2018. Not only superheroes, Neymar also tattooed pictures of his mother and sister on his body. He probably wants to show off to the world the true heroes in his heart.
Neymar’s tattoo collection is increasingly expanding and tattoo addiction is not only of the Brazilian football star but of most famous players in the world. And of course, the meaning of these tattoos is not always easy to understand.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also a player passionate about tattoos. The Swedish player’s body is covered with tattoos, most of which are the names of the people he loves.
The most pervasive image is the lion’s face, an image that Zlatan Ibrahimovic likened to himself when he said he was not human.
Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi’s body is also covered with the image of a giant lion. This work took the tattoo artist a year to complete.
Mauro Icardi’s legs depict the faces and names of his two daughters.
Another player who also admires the lion image is Memphis Depay, whose tattoo is even larger than Ibrahimovic’s.
Lionel Messi is also famous for his love of tattoos. His left leg is famous for being covered in small tattoos. However, in 2017, Messi decided to cover all of those small tattoos with black ink and left only the image of his son Thiago’s arm, a football and shirt number 10.
Sergio Ramos covers his back with a series of tattoos of lions, wolves, warriors, Jesus… Ramos’ arms are covered in tattoo ink.
Leroy Sane got a tattoo of himself, celebrating the goal he scored for Man City against Monaco.
A tattoo on Arturo Vidal’s stomach is an image of an insulin pump, remembering his child’s treatment for type 1 diabetes.
Watford striker Andre Gray has tattoos of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Bob Marley on his back.
However, among superstars, there are still very special cases – no tattoos. Unlike many players who have “dragons and snakes rising to the clouds” on their bodies, with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, no one has seen a single tattoo, no matter how small, on his body. He once revealed that the reason he didn’t get a tattoo was so he could donate blood. A very humane reason for a star.
