These football players have many different reasons for choosing not to get tattoos, including their faith, family values, or personal preferences. While tattoos are a common sight among athletes, these players have chosen a different path, both on and off the field.
Cristiano Ronaldo:
Cristiano Ronaldo, famous for his outstanding skills, speed and determination on the field, surprisingly does not have a single tattoo on his body. This sets him apart from many other players with ink designs. Ronaldo’s choice not to use ink was revealed in an interview, where he explained: “I don’t have tattoos because I donate blood regularly and I want the process to be quick and simple.” Additionally, Ronaldo emphasized that donating blood brings him joy because it allows him to help others in need.
Mohamed Salah:
Nicknamed “The King of Egypt” by his fans, Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s star striker, is guided by his Islamic faith and chooses not to have any tattoos. In a frank statement, Salah expressed: “I don’t like tattoos, don’t change my hairstyle, and don’t know how to dance. I just want to play football.”
Kylian Mbappe:
Kylian Mbappé, the young French star playing for PSG, decided not to get a tattoo on his body. While part of this decision may have been due to his age and lack of interest in tattoos, his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo may also have played a role. Mbappé is a huge fan of CR7 and his opinion on tattoos may change in the future, but for now, he remains tattoo-free.
Gareth Bale:
Gareth Bale, one of the world’s top wingers, has decided not to get a tattoo. He explained that his decision stemmed from his family’s interests and values. Even wearing an earring shocked his father during a meal in his hometown of Cardiff, as both tattoos and earrings are banned in Bale’s family.
