The former Manchester United striker first revealed his back tattoo in January 2018, referring to it as his “finest ink”.

He has shown off his lion portrait again, as Ibrahimovic uploaded a video on Twitter with the caption: “When I roar he roars.”
As the Swedish legend tensed his muscles, the lion’s mouth moves, making a roaring motion.
Ibrahimovic already had most of his back covered, before completing it with the giant roaring lion – whose nose is made up of a Buddhist symbol known as the Five Deva Faces Yantra.
The 38-year-old, now playing for AC Milan again after leaving LA Galaxy, confessed in his book ‘I am Zlatan’ that getting inked “became like a drug for me”.
When buying a Ferrari Enzo was not enough, Ibrahimovic said getting a tattoo provided him with a “boost” – even though he once could not stand the thought of one.
He said: “I was against them in the beginning. Thought they were in bad taste. But I got tempted anyway.”
In 2015 Ibrahimovic made headlines as 50 temporary tattoos covered his body to raise awareness for people starving in the world.
He said at the time: “When I took my shirt off, everyone was asking what all the new tattoos were.
“I had 50 names temporarily tattooed on my body. They are the names of real people who are suffering from hunger around the world.
“The tattoos have gone, but the people are still out there.
“There are 805 million people who are suffering from hunger around the world. I want you to see them.”
