It seems like Lionel Messi is getting tattoos all over his body all the time. Out of the almost 20 tattoos on the body, five stand out. One is thought to be the symbol of the 2022 World Cup winner.
1. Number 10 on the body
Messi’s magnificent left leg has a lot of tattoos all over it. The famous Argentine person used to get tattoos of a sword, angel wings, and a red rose here. That being said, all of them have been replaced by tattoos that are much bigger and more noticeable. That’s exactly the name and picture of Thiago, the first son of the PSG player. To be exact, Messi’s famous jersey number 10, is tattooed on most of his left leg.
Messi sees the number ten as an important part of his life. Messi’s friends told the Clarin newspaper that whenever he is mentioned, the number has become more than just a number; it has taken on spiritual meaning. The number 10 has a football tattoo added to it, which is said to show how much Messi loves the game.
2. The eyes of Antonela Roccuzzo
Messi met Antonela Roccuzzo when he was still working at Newell’s Old Boys before moving to Barcelona. The two have been friends since they were kids. Messi sees Antonela as more than just his wife. She has been there for him through all of life’s ups and downs. Messi has said more than once that Antonela and his mother are the two most important women in his life. He also got a tattoo of his wife’s eyes on his right arm for this reason. People see this work, which takes a lot of time, as a sign of how long Messi and his beautiful wife have been together.
3. A tattoo of a clock and gears
He has a tattoo of a clock and some gears on the outside of his right arm, which is easy to see. At first, many people thought that Messi’s expensive sports tattoo showed how much he loved those games. In fact, Messi has a huge collection of bronze, which is very rare and expensive, and players want it. However, it turned out that many people didn’t know what this tattoo meant. According to research, Messi puts a lot of value on time and always enjoys each moment that passes. This is Messi’s way of telling us to enjoy the time we still have here on earth. The artwork of the clock and gears that goes around most of Messi’s arm is also interesting to look at.
4. Tattoo of a crown
One of Messi’s less flashy tattoos is a crown, which is also on his arm. Even though it’s small, this tattoo is very important because it’s a picture of Antonela Roccuzzo’s wife’s crown. It’s a mark that shows how Messi and Antonela are connected. The fact that they do that shows how much they respect each other, Messi’s friends said. “This idea came from Messi, and he put it into action with Antonela.”
5. The scar on Antonela’s lips
The eye and crown are just two parts of Messi’s tattoo that are meant to honour his wife. Ink was also put on Antonela’s lips by Messi. However, the red lip tattoo is hard to see because it is close to Messi’s “penalty area,” even when the Argentine scorer is not wearing a top. Antonella is very important to Messi in every part of his life. Messi’s tattoo artist said, “He always thinks and acts with her in mind, which is why he chose to tattoo Antonela’s lips as a sign of his passionate love.” That should be enough to show that Messi gives each tattoo a lot of thought and that each one is important to him.
