World Cup: after the coronation of the whole of Argentina, Messi under the skin

No more dragons, tribes or butterflies. The Argentines have just won the World Cup and they want to keep it in their skin forever. “For the next two weeks, I will only have World Cup tattoos. Some used to make appointments to get snake or skull tattoos, but changed to Messi or the Cup. I already have two or three appointments a day on my schedule,” Tedi Kobra, a tattoo artist from the Palermo area of ​​Buenos Aires, told AFP.

And the most sought after player is obviously none other than Lionel Messi. Chosen as the best player in the World Cup, he finally fulfilled his dream and the dream of millions of Argentines. “I got Messi tattooed as a sign of gratitude,” one of them told AFP. “He represents not only the one who [il] but also the team that brought us the third world championship and all the years of effort to achieve this goal. »

Another sports five of playing cards depicting the world championships played by La Pulga: “I decided to get a Leo tattoo because he gave all of us Argentines the greatest joy. I think he deserved this title and after so many failures he finally got it. »

Mostly a successful design, but some may take offense at their tattoo artist. This is the case of a surfer who posted a photo of his back, on which a more than puffy Lionel Messi with long hooked fingers proudly sits. “The worst tattoo in history” for some and the resemblance to a former football player for others: “It looks like a mixture of Leo Messi and Wayne Rooney,” they laugh in the comments.

Emiliano Martinez, Argentine goalkeeper hero and public enemy in France, is also popular. Sometimes he is drawn in full jump, but more often it is his graceful celebration, carried out by receiving the trophy of the best goalkeeper of the competition, which is found on the skin of the tattooed.

If these tattoos are more or less tasteful, then they at least allow you to avoid blunders. This is not the case for this cheerleader, who also wanted to get the Argentine goalkeeper’s name tattooed. But to his dismay, “Deebou Fernandez” was written on his back. The story doesn’t say if she or her tattoo artist is at fault, the fact remains that she was fixed. The bad name was covered up with a drawing of the goalkeeper and a reference to “Deebou Martinez” was added.
