According to this tattoo artist from the capital’s Palermo neighborhood, the World Cup trophy is what they choose to tattoo the most, but also Messi, the phrases that the Albiceleste captain said during the World Cup, and also goalkeeper Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez, a hero for his penalty saves, especially in the final against France (3-3 in 120 minutes, 4-2 in the penalty shootout).
The champions also got tattoos, such as Angel Di María, who now has the image of the Cup he won in Qatar on the quadriceps of his right leg.
“On the skin for all eternity. Thank you very much, friend. You said it when we did the Copa América, the other leg was being saved for this moment. It was written. GO ARGENTINA”, wrote the ‘Fideo’ on Instagram along with a photograph with his tattoo artist.
The reasons for this fever? The gratitude to the ‘Scaloneta’ for the third world title for the Albiceleste after Argentina-1978 and Mexico-1986, the recognition of the effort and the desire not to forget justify those who decide to get tattooed.
“I tattooed Messi as a sign of gratitude. It represents not only what Messi is but what this team that gave us the third world cup is, what all these years of effort were and reaching the goal that was the Cup,” he says. to AFP Nicolás Rechanik, a state employee.
It is a complete representation of what Argentine soccer is and what Argentina is for all of us.
On his left leg he will forever carry a Messi dressed in the albiceleste shirt that the team wore in the World Cup in Qatar, kissing the golden Cup.
“To carry Messi on my skin is to carry one of the two greatest soccer players in history, –the other, Diego Maradona, I also have tattooed–. It is a complete representation of what Argentine soccer is and what what is Argentine for all of us”, he maintains.
