Footballers today have embraced tattoos just like hairstyles. It is normal today to see fine artwork on different parts of their bodies. Some want to express their feelings while others just intend to decorate their bodies. Some of these football stars compare themselves to LIONS and express it through tattoos. So, here are the 5 football stars with amazing lion tattoos.
Neymar
 
After becoming a famous footballer, Neymar has moved to the comic world as well. The Brazilian has a new book “Inked: Art Animates Life” in which he uses his magic lion tattoo on his hand to save his sister. But the superhero’s move did not end just in the books as he got himself the same tattoo inked on his left hand.
Sergio Ramos
 

Sergio Ramos has got numerous tattoos inked on his body. The Spanish defender has names, numbers, and flowers all over, with different meanings to each one. Ramos has also the Virgin Mary on his arm and a lion on his back.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic

LA Galaxy star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a number of well-drilled tattoos all over his body. However, the most popular tattoo is that of a Lion perfectly drawn on his back. He likes showing what he got especially at the end of football matches. Zlatan calls himself a LION.
Memphis Depay
Memphis Depay had to stay still for 24 hours to have his lion head tattoo drawn on his back. “I always had a feeling that I’ve been brought up in the jungle. I was always outside, I’ve been to rough areas and I’ve been through rough times. The lion is, for me, the king of the jungle. And I always stayed on my feet even though it was rough.”
Mauro Icardi
The Argentine and Inter Milan striker got himself a striking tattoo of a lion’s head with its two cubs, incorporating his daughter’s names Francesca and Isabella. However, a tattoo he had done three years ago is even more moving, as it incorporates the three children his wife has with her ex-hubby Maxi Lopez. The tattoo names the three children Valentino, Constantino and Benedicto, and reads: “I love these three little angels”.
