1 Ezequiel Lavezzi
“Lavezzi takes his work and his tattoos seriously, sporting a collection of
portraits of Catholic symbols, including the Virgin Mary on his forearm and
Jesus on his chest. The most prominent is a dedicated on his ribs to his
fellow Argentinean and football idol, Diego Maradona, heading a ball, but a
colourful ink of an evil clown on his shoulder is difficult to overlook.
Then there’s the hand-cuffed pocket-watch he had inked on his back in
December…”
2 Nigel de Jong
“An underrated player who sports a serious set of tribal tattoos. These are
amazingly intricate patterns – it’s great to see commitment to the
traditional.”
3 David Beckham
“Football’s pretty boy! His tattoos celebrate his professional and personal
achievements – championships, finding love, having children, all depicted in
ink.”
4 Daniel Agger
“Obviously I have to go with the hometown hero here. He is Danish, one of the
top defenders in the world, and is covered in ink. Besides several
emblematic Viking tattoos and Danish scriptures, he has a Latin scripture
reading ‘Death is certain, its hour is not’ on his neck, and his most recent
addition of YNWA (You’ll never walk alone – a Liverpool motto) on his
knuckles shows his loyalty to the Liverpool fans. He’s my partner on
tattoodo.com – we’re striving to create the world’s biggest site for tattoo
design.”
5 Zlatan Ibrahimovic
“He’s Swedish but we have to give him a shout-out. He has it all going on – a
red dragon on his back, a Japanese Koi fish (chosen because it swims against
the grain, like Zlatan), a Native American feather on his back, ‘Only God
Can Judge Me’ on his rib cage, an ace of hearts playing card on his
belly…Apparently he’s addicted to tattoos. I get it. We all are.”
6 Sergio Ramos
“The midfielder’s set of tattoos compose a more humble image than the
relentless wins with Spain and Real Madrid might suggest. Dedications to his
parents and siblings are alongside an eagle, Japanese characters, the World
Cup 2010 and a ghoul holding a football. But most significantly, he
dedicated each of his biceps to those killed in the terrorist attacks in the
USA on 11 September 2001 and in Spain on 11 March 2004.”
7 Kevin-Prince Boateng
“I love it when footballers get tattoos in honour of their team! Prince has an
AC Milan tattoo on one arm and a map of Africa with Ghana inscribed inside
on the other. He also has an unusual tribute to his recurring knee injuries,
a spider’s web inked on his left knee. He told a German newspaper it had a
certain symbolism, because a spider web always comes back – and so it is
with the knee.”
8 Daniel Alves
“Alves plays for Barcelona and Brazil, so he’s experienced a lot of success,
but because he’s a man of few words, he lets the tattoos do the talking. His
arms are adorned with Catholic images and dedications to his family, and the
odd mess up: mainly his ink of his ex-wife Dina on his shoulder. They split
in 2011. The real masterpiece, though, is his son’s name emblazoned in giant
script across his chest.”
9 Neymar
“He’s a young gun and rising star but his collection of tattoos is impressive.
A crown for his son, his sister’s name, and several Portuguese sayings to
symbolise his youthful joy. Maybe he’ll add a World Champion tattoo this
summer with his pal Dani Alves.”
10 Aleksandar Kolarov
“Have to respect the observance of the traditional Japanese style on this
man’s sleeve. The Koi fish tattoo is a symbol of luck and fortune –
certainly he had some of that, with Manchester City winning the Premier
League twice in the last three years.”
