Hello friends. Watching all these World Cup games so far has got me noticing, some players have some really cool and good tattoos, and some have some really poo poo ones. But we don't have a thread to talk about them in and also to be a big image dump for fat retards like myself! Well, wait no longer because that thread is now here, it is this thread, and you can post in here about all the cool tattoos on your favourite players.

Here's my picks of the tournament so far
The good:
Nigel de Jong


Raul Meireles



Tim Cahill


Olivier Giroud


The bad:

The entire gayboi tryhard p*ssy b*tch neck tattoo brigade of Chile including but not limited to
Eduardo Vargas



Arturo Vidal




Gary Medel



Gonzalo Jara




Special mention to Daniel Agger, Joleon Lescott and Djibril Cisse who didn't make it to Brazil rip


As a topic of discussion to keep this from devolving into an imagedump instantly, does anyone know why so many footballers have such poo poo tattoos? I figure its because a bunch of young kids with too much money and no taste just spend on bad poo poo, but I like the idea that there's one massive scratcher who all the Chilean dudes keep recommending to each other

I don't like tattoos OP, I think they take away from the natural beauty of the human form.

I disagree, I think if done well they can very much accentuate the natural beauty of the human form and look fully sick

Chilean players, and others, have poo poo tattoos because they have bad taste, that's all there is to it.

I find it interesting that it seems to have reached critical mass around the Chile team though, they all seem to have shocking tattoos where other teams have some dudes with no tattoos, some with alright ones and some with boring bad ones.

There's a Chilean fan at the Hereford FIFA Fan Zone with an Arby's logo tattooed on his neck. The classic tall hat, not the new one.

Illinois and Germany. His dad is from Chicago but was stationed in Germany. Brooks' mother is German and he was born and raised in Berlin. If you look closely you can see little stars where Berlin and Chicago are.

And yes, there are far better ways to celebrate Chicago than getting the rest of this retarded state on your body.

That looks nothing like Germany and more like Berlin itself which makes sense since it's also a state, just like Illinois.

I just assumed it was a really lovely tattoo.

Well, I mean it is already, but poorly executed in addition to poor taste.

At least Texas has their own weird state-centric nationalism (stationalism?) thing where they like to stand out from other states and be super proud they're from Texas and whatever. I've literally never seen or heard anybody talking about how much they love being from Illinois. Chicago, sure.

Ramos got a Champions League tattoo to match his World Cup one. Can't fault the concept, but the execution is lovely.




And Chicago has one of the most iconic flags and skylines of any city in the US--so much so that Chicago flag tattoos are cliche. But we still hate the rest of this backwoods red state, so even a cliche is better than that dumb Illinois tat.

I love the idea of those trophy tattoos but Meireles' Champions League tattoo is the best one imo. On a similar note, has anyone ever seen a good football related tattoo? I always consider getting one and then remember that they all look gay as hell

The little star on the outline of Berlin marks the place where he grew up, which is a fail-rear end suburb filled with old people (who very likely were nazis, just saying (not that there's anything wrong with that)) and beta bitches. To think what could have been had he grown up a kilometer or two to the east, he'd be well hard and my local hero but also probably in jail.
