She sends me a little one  on messages.”Johnson has already scored in his last six games in all competitions against Coventry, Brentford, Qarabag, Manchester United, Ferencvaros and Brighton.He then netted for his country against Iceland in the Nations League a week last Friday but was suspended for the Montenegro clash on Monday.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLYet Johnson wants to keep on writing new chapters in his blossoming career.The £47.5million ace has several tattoos across both arms and he got his first bit of ink at the age of 18.Johnson added: “My first was of my family initials in Greek. The main reason behind getting it was I wanted to get a tattoo but I didn’t really know what to get.“So I felt like getting the family initials always goes down well. I also got this one – on his left forearm – at the same time. It means family over everything. It’s what my sisters, my mum and dad all have so I wanted one as well. I felt it would be a nice thing to do.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSSeveral of Johnson’s tattoos can be seen when he wears short sleeve shirts on the pitchCredit: Getty“I have my grandparents’ date of birth but I also have a map which represents where my family are from.

And the bulk of Johnson’s tattoos are dedicated to his family.Johnson has some tattoo collection which has built up from his days playing at ex-club Nottingham Forest and a loan spell at Lincoln.’I STARTED SMALL’He said: “I grew up seeing my family and other people that I inspired to be like having tattoos and I looked at them as cool. I didn’t want to force it and get one that didn’t mean anything.”I started small. Over time not all of them have crazy meanings or are really personal to me.“I’ve got the number 23 because I was born on the 23rd of May. I really like the number. But some of them I just like and I’m comfortable with.“I’ve got Bart Simpson. I was a big Simpsons fan growing up. I have a Daft Punk helmet. I’m not like a super crazy fan but I thought the helmet was really cool. It has got a smiley face and thought it looked quite cool.”I’ve even got an alien. They are random things that I find cool. This left arm shows little things I like and I’m not too serious about myself. It’s a reminder to always try and be happy.“The first one weren’t actually too bad or painful. They were quite small and thin. I’ve got a palm tree with some sun which is on the back. I was lying with my arm out and it was killing because it was in an awkward place to do. That one was quite painful.”’I’M LOOKING FOR AN ARTIST IN LONDON’Johnson plans to add more tattoos in future. He told an episode of Cymru Ink: the stories behind the tattoos: “I don’t have an artist that I go to in London yet. I would have liked a few dates of when we got promoted with Forest or the day I signed for Spurs which I still have time to get. I’m looking for an artist in London.“I probably got most of them on my right arm in the space of six to eight months. You kind of fall out of it and then you get back into it.“I had a tattoo artist in Nottingham who was really flexible and would fit me in whenever. I didn’t really want to have to wait too long and think about it too much. They are pretty instinctive.READ MORE SUN STORIES“I’d definitely say at times it was addictive. When I first started I got a lot then I chilled a bit. I’d definitely get some more. I’ve got the arms pretty much done. Maybe a few more on my right arm.“Now it’s just if something happens or I find a bit of inspiration or something that means a lot to me, I’d definitely get it tattooed on me.”Johnson will be looking to keep up his impressive streak this weekendCredit: Reuters More

      Brazen England fans don ‘winners’ tattoos before Euros 2024 final even begins as supporters say ‘it’s coming home’

      by

      BRAZEN England fans have donned Euro 2024 winners tattoos before the final even begins.Multiple Three Lions supporters have been inked in the days since Gareth Southgate’s men saw off the Netherlands 2-1 in the semi-final on Wednesday night.England fan Dan Thomas is very confident the Three Lions will win tonightCredit: Dan Thomas / PAThe data consultant had ‘England Euro 2024 Winners’ and the trophy tattooed on his thighCredit: Dan Thomas / PADan spent two and a half hours in the chair getting the inking doneCredit: Dan Thomas / PAThe tattoo artist asked Dan three times if he was definitely sure before startingCredit: Dan Thomas / PADan Thomas, from Swindon, Wiltshire, is among those who is ultra-confident England will defeat Spain tonight in Berlin and end 58 years of hurt.The data consultant spent two and a half hours getting a trophy and the words “England Euro 2024 Winners” tattooed on his leg three days ago. The 29-year-old went to the Reign Barbers and Tattoos parlour in Swindon on Thursday – the day after Ollie Watkins’ last minute strike booked the nation’s place in the final.”I thought (England) would get far, so it’s come as no shock,” he said.Read more football news”I’m pretty confident. I think it will happen. I wouldn’t have got it done if I didn’t think it would happen.”I think it will be close and I think it will be 1-1, but go to extra time. I think we’ll win 2-1 at extra time.”Mr Thomas considered getting a similar tattoo in 2021 when England faced Italy in the Euro 2020 final, but hopes this year’s tattoo will secure Southgate’s team victory.”I went into the studio and just said it would be great to have (the tattoo). I was joking, but then I thought, ‘actually, no, I’m really confident I’m going to get it done’ so it was a spur of the moment, last minute thing,” he said.Most read in Euro 2024″My tattooist has already told me that as a punishment if they do lose then he’s not going to cover it up for at least a year.”England’s Billion Pound Players: The Clash with SpainMr Thomas livestreamed the moment he had the artwork tattooed to his leg, which received 42,000 views on TikTok, and he has encouraged others considering getting a similar tattoo to “go and get it”.”They’re going to win so you may as well get it before the queues start on Monday,” he said.Mr Thomas’s friend, Jack Wilkinson, who owns Reign Barbers and Tattoos, did not believe Mr Thomas would go ahead with the tattoo “until the needle actually touched the skin”.Mr Wilkinson said: “I thought it was a joke to start with, but he said he was full of confidence and wanted to be the first one to get it done before everyone else gets it done after they win.”It still feels surreal that he actually got it done. It sums up Dan as a person. He’s quite eccentric and Mr Positive.”Tattoo artist Tinashe Chikerema applied the ink, not before he “triple checked” with the data consultant if he wanted it done.”I couldn’t believe he actually wanted the tattoo, but I triple-checked with him. Fair play to him for being so confident in the team,” Mr Chikerema said.”I predict the score will be 3-1 to England, and I hope (Eberechi) Eze scores, as he’s my favourite player.”Meanwhile, Mr Wilkinson believes the game will end on penalties, but admits he does not share the same certainty as Mr Thomas.”I think it will be 1-1 and then they’ll potentially win on penalties. I’m not as confident as Dan. I’ve got a lot of tattoos, but I wouldn’t go that far.”He said the Euros has been a “nice boost” for business particularly after his shop struggled during the Covid-19 pandemic.”We’ve had quite a few queries off the back of (Dan’s tattoo),” he explained.”We’re a barbers as well and we don’t always open on Sundays – we do it on booking only – but we’ve got quite a few people coming in who want their hair cut before the game.”I think from a business point of (the Euros) has helped the country with the England team doing well.”The economy has been struggling recently, especially since Covid, and I think it has been a nice boost, especially for SMEs (small and midsize enterprises) like myself.”Meanwhile, fellow die-hard football fan Jack Pancaldi also got a brave tattoo while on holiday in Portugal.And the 20-year-old got it done before the Three Lions had even got past the semi-finals.What’s more, “England” has been spelled wrong and reads: “Engerland 2024 Winners”.Pal Oliver Adams wasted no time in documenting Jack’s new ink on social media – roasting him for the spelling fail. Oliver, also 20, filmed the ink in its full glory, asking Jack what he had done before adding: “Look at the state of it.” Where to watch the Euro 2024 final tonightEngland vs Spain will be broadcast LIVE on BBC One AND ITV 1 in the UK.Coverage is expected to commence from 7pm BST on both channels – an hour before kick-off.Fans can stream the entire action through BBC iPlayer or ITV X via any compatible device.Alternatively, head to SunSport’s live blog to keep up with the whole match including pre and post-match coverage.However, taking it in his stride, Jack proudly showed off his tattoo and laughed as Oliver zoomed into his chest.Oliver captioned the video – which got thousands of views on TikTok: “It’s coming home” and gave some context to the tattoo. He said: “He got it after watching England vs Switzerland while we were on a lad’s holiday in Albufeira, Portugal.”Another confident fan ‘Ben’ was congratulated by BRUX tattoo studio for his optimism after getting an inking on his back listing England as winners of the Euros.It comes after he made several blunders listing the Three Lions as winners in 2020 when the team was runners up, as well as World Cup victors in 2018 and 2022 before having them all crossed off.Sharing a video of the latest bold prediction being applied on Instagram, the studio wrote: “Come on England! Thanks Ben, love the optimism mate.”The clip had the 1998 version of Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds’ Three Lions anthem.One wrote: “Why doesn’t he wait until afterwards? Will he not have enough time when it happens?”Another joked: “This tattoo will get another red line this Sunday.”A third said that he “jinxed it” while others claimed that they “love the confidence”.While others were also annoyed that he had completely ignored the Lionesses Euro 2022 triumph.READ MORE SUN STORIESIt comes after Brazilian model Tyffany Santos said a fan paid £7,000 for her to have Jude Bellingham’s name inked below her belly button ahead of England’s semi-final clash against the Netherlands last week.The model recently went viral for wearing nothing but body paint in the colours of the Brazilian national team on the London underground.Jack Pancaldi, 20, got the tattoo after England beat Switzerland in the quarter finalsCredit: CatersThe inking even has a spelling error, but Jack doesn’t mindCredit: CatersConfident fan Ben has already boldy predicted a win despite his previous tattoo blunderCredit: Instagram @bruxismtattooTyffany Santos had a tattoo of Jude Bellingham’s nameCredit: Jam Press/ CO Press OfficeThe Brazilian model said a fan paid £7,000 for her to have the tat done in an intimate areaCredit: Jam Press/ CO Press Office More

France didn’t and then ran into Spain.You can say it wasn’t that pretty, but we’re there.Gareth and his coaches won’t have been happy with some of the performances.But I did like the way Gareth and his team have dealt with it.There was no panic coming out of the camp.Everyone gave the same message: ‘We know we can better, but we’re here still.’And on Sunday they will be in Berlin to play Spain.They will probably have to produce two halves of football as good as the first against Holland to beat them.We have improved as the tournament has gone on and that is how you win things.You want to peak in the final.If Gareth can lead England to that major trophy we’ve all been waiting for, it will be the perfect answer to the critics and a brilliant day for us all.Read Jack Wilshere’s England vs Holland verdict in full.Or check out all of SunSport columnist Jack’s Euros 2024 opinions…One wrote: “Why doesn’t he wait until afterwards?
