Richarlison has unveiled a new “weird” tattoo that features himself, Ronaldo, and Neymar overlooking a Brazilian favela – with a smaller Richarlison looking up – on his BACK.
The giant tattoo also features part of the Brazilian flag, which overlooks the Mount Rushmore of faces in the top corner. While some writing in the top left of the piece ends with Pele’s signature.
The tattoo was unveiled by Dom.Tattoo on Instagram – who has produced artwork for a number of London-based footballers. However, as a snap of the artwork started to do the rounds of social media, fans were quick to slam the “weird” tattoo.

One fan tweeted: “Getting a tattoo of yourself on your back what a massive helmet!”
“Who gets a tattoo of themself?! Bro just look in the mirror,” a second questioned. While a third tweeted: “The bottom one I can get, but a full face tattoo of himself? Strange!”
“Incredibly weird,” a fourth simply added. While another said: “Imagine having not one but 3 tattoos of Brazilian players, and none of them are Pele. Good grief!”

Richarlison has worked with the artist before – and he has previously worked on two tattoos for the Brazilian star.
The first the pair did together was a tattoo of a heart on Richarlison’s chest, however, the heart had then been designed with the Brazilian flag. The second came last year after the Brazilian’s gold medal – with Richarlison having his own name inked on his thigh.
Dom.Tattoo has also worked with stars such as Antony and Fabio Vieira.

Richarlison had been part of the Brazilian squad at the World Cup, and he notched a wonder goal in the Selecao’s opening game with Serbia. Brazil’s performances had seen some label them as tournament favourites, but they came unstuck in the quarter-finals as they crashed back down to earth with a humbling loss to Croatia.
The 25-year-old former Everton and Watford star has returned to Tottenham ahead of the restart of the domestic season. However, he is out for at least a month following a hamstring injury sustained at the World Cup, according to the latest reports.
