Erasmus & De Jong Share The Same Tattoo Artist

Erasmus & De Jong Share The Same Tattoo Artist

Footballers have a love for ink, but who would've guessed that Kermit Erasmus and Nigel De Jong shared the same tattoo artist?

The Milan midfielder is constantly updating his body with new patterns on his skin, with his designs being penned by a Dutch tattoo artist named Ade Itameda.

The style of his tattoos is called Mandala, which are spiritual designs. Each one offers balancing visual elements, symbolising unity and harmony, and the meanings of individual Mandalas are usually different and unique to each one. 

As you can see, Nigel De Jong has many patterns dispersed across his torso and arms.

Erasmus doesn't have as many tattoos on his body yet, but one of his first was the Mandala design given to him by Ade Itameda. 

You can see that there is a bit of a similarity between Erasmus' design and that of NDJ's… What do you make of their tattoos?
