The Meaning Behind Neymar's Awesome Tattoos

The Meaning Behind Neymar's Awesome Tattoos

Neymar

It's no secret that Brazilian forward Neymar loves his tattoos, but have you ever wondered what they mean to him?

In an interview with Globo Esporte, Neymar opened up about his collection and revealed the various mottos he has inked on him.

The tattoos that he currently has range from the date of his son's birth on his right arm to a prayer he says before matches on his upper torso and "love" written on his left hand.

Here is a closer look at some of his tattoos as the 23-year-old superstar opens up about the meaning behind them.

Back of his foot – "Boldness and joy"

Neymar has the motto "boldness and joy" inked on the back of his feet, with one word on each leg.

Upper right arm – Son's date of birth

"My son also has a tattoo dedicated to him. I did it after he was born."

Upper torso – Prayer

"It's a prayer we always say before games. I decided to have it done on my chest. It was out of the love and regard I have for my father."

Left side of neck – "Everything passes"

"This phrase says a lot about me. I have to enjoy every moment as much as I can."

Left arm – "Life is a joke"

"I really identify with this tattoo. You can't take life too seriously. You have to enjoy every moment."

Left arm – "Be part of my story" alongside a fist

"I got this tattoo along with three of my friends. We have the same design, but everyone has a different phrase."

Lower left arm – Two hands praying, with "Faith" written underneath

"It's two hands praying, asking for a blessing. It has a lot to do with the faith I have."

Left hand – "Love"

"I really like this tattoo. My mother has it and so does my father."
