Messi goes for his son’s handprints as a leg tattoo

He’s Leo Messi, so apparently he can do no wrong. But his choice of tattoo is questionable, if not certainly understandable.

The Barcelona striker recently became a father for the first time, so it is only natural that he is proud of his son Thiago, who will be under ridiculous pressure in the school-yard to demonstrate his gene pool.

The Argentinian decided to celebrate his son’s arrival with a tattoo, and the name of his son was simply not enough. He went for a little more art work on that trusty left peg of his by getting Thiago’s hand prints as well.

We’re not too sure about this one, but if the socks roll down at all, plenty of defenders will be getting used to the sight.

Fittingly, the tattoo was done on Tuesday, which was Father’s Day in Spain.
