Offside Soundoff: Nominate Your Favorite Footballer Tattoos

Who’s got the freshest ink?
Footballers love their ink. We love looking at the ink of footballers. Some of us more than others. Much of this has to do with a delve into the mind of an athlete, a demographic not to be confused with a Nobel recipient roll call.

For example, which footballer needs a permanent reminder of his name? Amauri, of course. And which footballer loves him some dweebish sci-fi goblins? That’s the very much missed Fernando Torres. What’s that saying? Their brains aren’t connected to their feet?

So what are some favorite tats?

I’m partial to Naldo’s Jesus Has Moobs purely for comedic effect. I’d also love Jamie Carragher’s Everton tattoo were somebody to prove its existence – and keep the methods of discovery to their person. David Beckham wins applause for tatting the location he conceived his child on his back, with bonus points for spelling it correctly this time.

And of course there’s this clown:

As for artistic merit, Deco’s geisha looks quite cool. And isn’t that what tattoos are all about – looking cool?

Now feel free to nominate some of your own.
