Neymar, the Brazilian soccer star, has recently revealed a new tattoo featuring his mother’s face, which joins the rest of the ink splashed across his body. The tattoo also includes the faces of his sister and his dad’s eyes on his upper right arm. Neymar unveiled this new addition after scoring a stunning hat-trick for Barcelona on Sunday night, helping to keep their slim chances of winning the La Liga title alive. His solo performance against Las Palmas was truly brilliant.
During the celebration of the 4-1 win, Neymar shared that he has a tattoo of his mother’s face on his bicep. The Brazilian football star, who is known for having many tattoos, often incorporates his family into his ink designs. In addition to his mother’s face, he also has a tattoo of his sister, Rafaella, on the other side of his upper right arm. On the same sleeve, he has inked his father’s eyes. Neymar has always been vocal about his love and admiration for his mother, Nadine Santos.
He regards her as his inspiration and role model in life. In numerous interviews, he has conveyed his appreciation for her constant support and for instilling the values of determination and hard work in him. Neymar’s latest tattoo, featuring a portrait of his mother with a heart and the message “The Owner of My Heart” (“A Dona do Meu Coração”), is a testament to the deep bond he shares with her. It is evident that Neymar holds his mother in the highest esteem and treasures the unique relationship they have.
The family-oriented man has several tattoos that hold significant meaning to him and his loved ones. One of the tattoos is a portrait of his son, Dаvi Lucca, on his body. Additionally, he has a tattoo on his left arm that reads “life is a joke” and a prayer on his chest dedicated to his father.
Four buddies, including him, have matching fist-bump tattoos, and he has a crow design on his right ring finger as a symbol for his future wedding.
Other portable tattoos that he has include the Roman numeral ‘IV’ to represent his family members – his parents, himself, and his sister. Keeping with the family theme, Rafaella’s name is tattooed on his wrist, along with a two-sided tattoo on his forearm that reads ‘family’ in one direction, and ‘forever’ when flipped upside down.
Neymar has a large tattoo on his calf that serves as a reminder of his roots. The tattoo depicts a young boy holding a football with an industrial scene in the background. According to tattoo artist Miguel Bohigues, the tattoo represents a young Neymar remembering where he came from. In addition to this tattoo, Neymar has several other biblical references and verses tattooed around his body.
On his index finger, he has the word ‘Shhh…’ after scoring a brilliant hat-trick that helped his team to level on points with rivals Real Madrid under the leadership of Luis Enrique. However, Real Madrid has an advantage with one game in hand. Zinedine Zidane’s team will travel to face Celta Vigo on Wednesday before playing their final match of the season at the same venue on Sunday. Meanwhile, Barcelona will be at home against Eibar on Sunday.
Neymar’s lower leg displays a sizable tattoo depicting him as a child in an industrial setting – serving as a reminder of his humble beginnings.
Neymar and three of his buddies also do the same fist bump greeting. Neymar is not performing at his usual high standards and is having his worst season since joining the club in 2013. This year, the forward has scored 19 goals and made 20 assists, which is still impressive by most accounts, but it’s a significant drop from his last two seasons. In the previous year, he scored 31 goals with 20 assists, and the year before that, he had 39 goals and seven assists. Barcelona may end the season without any trophies, although they still have the final of the Copa del Rey to play.
