    And Ramos greeted young Maximo Adriano by inking his name onto his chest.
    The tattoo was front and centre of a topless Instagram pic captioned “Gym time” that followed the Spaniard’s announcement of his fourth son’s birth.
    He wrote: “Immensely happy to be able to introduce you to Maximo Adriano.
    “He was born at 6:56PM and weighed 3.270 kg. Mum and baby are perfectly fine. Always proud of you, my love. I love you to pieces!”

    References to other sons are found across Ramos’ body with his second son, Marco’s, birth date of 14.11.2015 on his left hand.
    Third son Alejandro’s name is inked on his right hand.
    YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT
    Several famous quotes are placed around Ramos’ body with the title of Chilean writer Pablo Neruda’s memoirs underneath Adriano’s tattoo.
    The phrase “I confess that I have lived” features on his chest with a Pablo Escobar saying on his back.

    The drug lord’s famous phrase reads: “Only those who went hungry with me and stood by me will eat at my table.”
    Another famous tyrant, albeit fictional, appears too with a quote often attributed to Game Of Thrones character Twyin Lannister adopted by Ramos.
    The phrase “A lion never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep” was made famous in the popular drama but its origin is far older, from the Latin saying “Leonum non refert quid oves censeant”.
    A large number of religious references have been added by the 34-year-old, as well as names of various other family members.
    A variety of smaller tattoos feature as well, including a glass of wine, anchor, horseshoe, Roman numerals and a heart with a microphone.
    On one arm, a hexagram in the clouds can be found above a map of Spain – which marks his home city of Seville.

    Naturally, there are plenty of signifiers that Ramos is a pretty decent footballer.
    With constant references to his shirt number, 4, the Champions League and World Cup trophies he has won are inked on each calf.
    One tattoo bears the words “Lisbon” and “Game Over” over a mural of Ramos’ famous header past Atletico Madrid in stoppage time of the 2014 Champions League final – which levelled the match as Real went on to win La Decima.

    Politano thanked Russo with a signed Napoli shirt
    And ahead of his new team’s Serie A clash with his parent club on Tuesday night, Politano opted to shoot up to Grosseto, Tuscany to get an absolute work of art brought to life on his back.
    Politano headed to famous Italian tattoo artist Valentino Russo – who has 56,000 Instagram followers.
    And after EIGHT HOURS in the chair, Politano emerged with an astonishing big cat etched across his entire back, much like Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s lion head.
    Russo – who has also tattooed Italian music star Andrea Damante amongst other celebs – shared the pictures to his massive social media following.

    He captioned them: “It was really a pleasure to tattoo you @matteopolitano16.
    “Great person and great humility.
    “See you soon bro. Thanks for the trust.
    “Tattoo done in 8 hours…”

    As a way of showing thanks, Politano gave Russo a personalised, signed Napoli shirt.
    As well as his autograph, Politano scribbled on the back: “To Valentino, with love. You’re No1.”
    The pair even posed together with the replica strip – with Politano somehow smiling after eight hours in the tattoo artist’s chair.

    After the pictures were posted, fans went absolutely wild for it, with some calling it “phenomenal” and “spectacular”.
    Others were left wondering how it was done in “only” eight hours, such is the detail in the inking.
    One fan even called Russo the “Cristiano Ronaldo of tattoo artists”.
