      by

      ARSENAL star Ben White is committed to body ink.The England defender, 25, has several tattoos adorning his chiselled body.
      Ben White’s body is adorned in tattoos
      His most recent bit of work is a butterfly etched on his back by A Star Tattoos, which trended on TikTok.
      In the summer, he showed off matching ‘I Love You’ tats with fiancee Milly Adams that they had done shortly after their engagement.
      While, written on his neck is the word ‘Shine’ in a smart black font.
      SunSport takes a look at his tattoos, and what they they could mean.

      Butterfly
      Written underneath an inspiring message on his back, White introduced a butterfly to his torso.
      Although the meaning hasn’t been disclosed, it could certainly signify the idea of soaring high.
      Like his football team, Ben is flying at the moment.
      It was created by A Star Tattoos – a side business of A Star Barbers – who famously trim Jack Grealish and Paul Pogba.
      Most read in Football
      White is a regular with them, and they have created several for him.
      This Butterfly tattoo is White’s most recent
      Shine
      An inspiring word, White’s body is covered in positive messages.
      And on his neck he has the word ‘Shine’ inscribed.
      Next to that, there’s a small cross.
      We don’t know if White is religious – but when he grew up in Dorset he went to school Queen Elizabeth’s, which preaches strong Church of England ethics.
      White’s neck tattoo is visible from a game last month
      White has the word ‘Shine’ written on his neck next to a cross
      Lion
      A massive tattoo of a lion’s eyes stretches across White’s chest.
      The lion is a popular tattoo for professional footballers – with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Memphis Depay sporting them.
      Again, it symbolises bravery and strength.
      It was a tattoo that seemingly inspired his Arsenal team-mate Emile Smith Rowe, who later got a lion sleeve on his arm.

      Tattoos of lions – seen here across White’s pecs – are popular with footballers
      Matching ink
      Last summer, White got engaged to stunning fiancee Milly Adams.
      The loved-up couple celebrated by getting matching ‘I Love You’ messages written on their hands.
      Shortly after, they were spotted enjoying a romantic holiday in an unknown sun-drenched location.
      While aboard a rented yacht, they showed off a new set of matching designs.
      This time, they both had super-cute hearts on their thumbs.
      Also on Ben’s hand you will find his star sign – Libra, as well as the date 1959.
      That could be the year a relative was born, although it’s not clear.

      Born to do it
      Another easily identifiable tattoo features on White’s back.
      Just below his neck, he has the year 1997 inked on him.
      That signifies the year he was born.

      White, at 25, has plenty of years of football ahead of him.
      And that also means, he still has more time to get even more ink.

      Despite now having a permanent reminder of the “disappointing” loss, defiant Kris insists he has no regrets about his decision – and his mates found it hilarious.
      The tatt reads in full: “Tell me ma me ma, NUFC Cup winners 26/02/23” and was done “for a laugh” during one sitting.
      Dad-of-one Kris, from Northumberland, said: “I got it done last Thursday, three days before the cup final.
      “I was going in for a day session at the tattoo place anyway to get a sleeve done and then decided last minute to get the Newcastle tattoo on my leg too.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      “It was all for a laugh and I had mentioned to my mates that I might get it done, but they were shocked when I went through with it.
      “The tattoo is about four inches wide and four inches long and is just above my knee on my left leg.
      “It took about ten minutes to do and was thrown in with the £400 cost of booking the tattooist out for the day to have my arm sleeve done.
      “The tattoo is a Newcastle chant from the 90s and one we sing at St James’ Park.

      “I don’t regret getting it done at all. I might do when I’m older but for now, I just think it’s funny.”
      The tattoo did not go down quite so well with his family, with his grandma particularly angry about it.
      Kris, who works in sales, added: “My eight-year-old daughter Honey thinks it’s funny and my mum is not fussed but my gran hates it.
      “She has always been anti-tattoos and I am covered in them. I think the Newcastle United one was just a step too far for her.
      “The girl who does my tattoos is from Sunderland so she probably enjoyed it that little bit more.”
      ‘STILL VERY PROUD’
      Kris and his mates made the 280-mile journey down to London for Newcastle’s first major final in 24 years.
      He watched the match at Boxpark near to Wembley Stadium as goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford ended Toon’s hopes of a first major trophy since 1969.
      But Kris insisted he was still proud of Eddie Howe’s boys.
      He added: “I can’t remember much of the match if I’m honest as me and my friends had been drinking all day and celebrating so the initial defeat didn’t hit me.
      “I am disappointed that we didn’t win but I am so proud of the team for getting to Wembley and we will be back.
      “Give Newcastle a few years and we will start winning lots of things.

      Sloth has teamed up with co-owner Charlie Morgan, the Swansea City ballboy who was kicked by Eden Hazard in 2013.
      Paul was visited by Sloth after his training camp in Dubai less than a fortnight before his defeat to Tommy Fury.
      Sloth challenged Paul to get the tattoo in exchange for £206,000.
      Paul took on the challenge and got the design inked on to his skin on a rooftop in Dubai.

      He posted a video of the occasion on YouTube while he could also be seen sipping on the drink.
      However fans could not spot the design during his fight with Fury, leading to some to question if it was real.
      One joked: “Tommy Fury must have given one hell of a punch last night… His tattoo fell off.”
      A second wrote: “Jake Paul, what happened to your Au Vodka tattoo last night? It just disappeared.”

      ‘His memory drives me on’ – Leicester’s new £15m man Harry Souttar’s incredible tattoo in tribute to late brother

      by

      SOCCEROOS World Cup star Harry Souttar will square up to Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford today with the image of his late brother Aaron etched on his left arm.And the memory of giving Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe a run for their money as a reminder that he belongs on the big stage.
      Harry Souttar shows off a tattoo of his late brother
      Leicester new boy Souttar faces off against Man Utd on Sunday
      Souttar may have been born in Aberdeen and raised in Luthermuir, near Brechin, where his dad Jack played  professionally for Brechin City.
      But when Australia came calling, the 24-year-old opted for the land of his mum Heather, who was born and raised in Western Australia.
      It’s why he also proudly has a tattoo of the Australian crest with his official Socceroos number —  international No 606 — inked on his calf.
      But it is the image of his cherished brother Aaron, who sadly passed away following a brave battle with Motor Neurone Disease in July 2022, which spurred Souttar to new heights in Qatar.

      The 6ft 6in stopper helped Australia make it to the last 16 before going down fighting 2-1 to Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
      And ahead of today’s trip to the Theatre of Dreams, Leicester’s new £15million signing from Stoke revealed how having Aaron’s image on his arm inspires him.
      Souttar said: “I had the tattoo done a month or two after his passing.
      “It is just him golfing at St Andrews. He was a massive golfer, he was club captain at the local club in Brechin, near where we grew up.
      Most read in Football
      “St Andrews was his favourite course. His memory drives me on massively since he passed.
      “Before all the games at the World Cup my dad would just give me a text and say, ‘Aaron would be wanting three points  or a win tonight’.
      “Even before the Tottenham game last weekend he gave me a  text just to say, ‘He’ll  want a win on your home debut’.
      “I’ve got the tattoo on my arm so that he’ll always be with me.“He would have been so proud to have seen me play at a World Cup or at Old Trafford now.
      “Before one of our games, the Aussie boss Graham Arnold did a great speech about who you are doing it for.
      “It was pretty simple for me who I was doing it for.”
      Aaron’s tragic death came during one of the toughest times in Souttar’s young career as the former Potters defender faced a year sidelined by injury after rupturing his cruciate ligament during a World Cup qualifier for the Aussies.
      He revealed the horror moment he feared his World Cup dream was over.
      Souttar said: “It happened in Sydney against Saudi Arabia. I went to block a shot, he feinted and moved,  I tried to go again and it just gave way and popped.
      “The physios wanted to see if it was stable and my kneecap was going halfway down my shin and halfway up my thigh, so I knew something was bad!”
      Proud Souttar has his international number etched on his calf
      The Foxes splashed £15m on transfer deadline day for Souttar
      That’s when Harry was able to turn to his other brother John for expert advice.
      The 26-year-old Rangers and Scotland star has been plagued by a string of career-threatening injuries but somehow keeps battling back.
      John’s career hung in the balance when he ruptured his Achilles — both his right, then left —  keeping him out for six months at a time.
      He also had to endure ankle and hip operations during his time with Dundee United and Hearts before suffering a THIRD Achilles injury.
      John somehow managed to fight back from those setbacks and is now edging closer to full fitness with Rangers.
      Souttar added: “John had a horrendous time. I’ve only gone through a small percentage of what he’s gone through, he’s one of the strongest people I’ve ever met mentally.
      “My older brother passing during my injury made me and John a lot closer. He’s been a massive help to me.
      “He said right at the start, ‘If you’re ever feeling down, just write your thoughts down. No need to share it with anyone —  just write what you’re feeling  and in a month’s time have a look’.
      “Everyone is different but for me, that really worked.“At the start everyone says there’s going to be down periods but I thought, ‘I’ll sail through it, I’ll be fine’.
      “However, there were some challenging moments and he helped me a lot.

      6ft6in Souttar has starred for Leicester since his move from Stoke City
      “It’s not something I would share with anyone. It was just private stuff I felt at that time and that I felt I needed to write down. It helped me.”
      Souttar refused to flick through the pages of his inspirational ledger during the World Cup, after battling back to full fitness  on the back of just one warm-up game. He added: “I didn’t bring that book out, purely because I wanted it to be in the past.
      “It helped me through the months I was injured but, once I was back fit, I just wanted to look forward.
      “When will I look at it? Well, touch wood I won’t get injured again!”
      Souttar, who admits he’s had to cut down on his favourite snack of chicken nuggets now that he is a Premier League player, says facing up to Messi and  Mbappe in Qatar has given him the confidence to face in-form Rashford.
      But  he did not try to swap shirts with either of his superstar opponents.
      He explained: “If there was one player I would have wanted to swap with, then it would have been Messi.
      “But, unfortunately, one of the other lads got to him first!“He’s probably the greatest  that has ever played the game.

      I’m the Hearts fan who went viral for showing my boob tattoo on Italian TV – it’s only Hibs fans who are annoyed

      by

      A HEARTS fan who interrupted a live TV broadcast in Italy to show a Jambos-inspired tattoo on her breast has revealed her shock after going viral.Journalist Tancredi Palmeri was speaking about the transfer window when Natasha Lodge and her boyfriend appeared in front of the camera.

      After telling the SportItalia correspondent her name and that she was from Edinburgh, he quickly said ‘Hearts of Midlothian’ to show he knew about Scottish football.
      But Natasha, from Niddrie, left him rushing to cover her modesty after she suddenly lifted her to top to expose her ‘5-1’ inking – a nod to her side’s famous victory over rivals Hibs in the 2012 Scottish Cup Final.
      Speaking to the Scottish Sun, Natasha said: “It seems like the only people bothered are Hibs fans on Facebook. 
      “There’s been thousands of comments. But definitely a lot more good fun ones than nasty, you get that everywhere though. 

      “I’m not bothered about it, I just find it crazy how you can do one wee thing on the street and have no idea how many people are going to see it.”
      Palmeri, who shared the footage to his 220k Twitter followers, later enjoyed a drink with the couple as the footage quickly started to spread all over social media.
      To make matters worse for her partner, he revealed he was actually a fan of Hibs himself.
      But Natasha insists her other half is absolutely fine with the tattoo she drunkenly got during a holiday to Magaluf in 2016.

      She adds: “He came afterwards. We laugh about it.

      “I mean it doesn’t really bother me but I just seem to enjoy showing people once I’ve had a drink.
      “He’s a Hibs fan but it doesn’t bother him at all.”

      ‘My boobs are real’ – Cheeky fan flashes breast tattoo celebrating Hearts’ cup final win to shocked Italian TV host

      A CHEEKY Hearts fan gave an Italian TV host a massive scare as she attempted to show off a “boobs” tattoo live on air. Following Hearts 3-0 thrashing of Hibernian in the Scottish Cup on Sunday, one fan couldn’t help but show off a tatt paying homage to the 2012 final when Hearts thrashed Hibs 5-1.

      However, the location of the tattoo left journalist Tancredi Palmeri panicking as he thought he would suddenly become involved in an x-rated broadcast.
      The pair of Scottish footie fans gatecrashed his transfer piece on SportItalia, with Palmeri striking a conversation with the Hearts fan, named Natasha, and her Hibs supporting partner – who were visiting Milan.
      The trio tried to strike up a conversation about her stilettos, but the Hearts fan was only interested in reminding everyone of the 2012 result, revealing a tattoo on her chest.
      The hilarious exchange saw Natasha ask Palmeri: “Do you know Heart of Midlothian?”

      The Hibs fan desperately tried to stop any wardrobe malfunctions as he said: “No, no, no,” but Palmeri in his innocence to what she meant responded: “Yes we do.”
      But he soon realised his mistake as he swiftly moved to ensure there were no mishaps by covering the area with his hand and yelling “no” a number of times in a panicked tone.
      Taking to Twitter after the hilarious exchange, Palmeri shared the vid and said: “When a blondie heavy Hearts of Midlothian fan storms into your transfer window live hit and wants to show to whole Italy her pride against Hibernians from the bottom of her heart.
      “I’d say from the bottom of her boobs.”

      Following the first incident, it was then repeated moments later as she tried to show off her chest ink again, with Palmeri once again imploring her to “wait a second, please, wait, wait”.
      The Hearts fan then gestured to the 5-1 score with her hands, with Palmeri explaining that his alarm caused him to forget her name.
      Natasha then responded: “I totally understand. My boobs are real!”
      However, the pair all smiles as they took a selfie together afterwards.
      Natasha, whose last name is Lodge, took to Twitter to add some detail to the eventful night.
      She joked: “Was only having a steak dinner and took it too far 😂”
      She added: “We [the couple a Tancredi] only went for a meal.
      “Heard the boy outside talking about Edinburgh so ran over and this was it.
      “There’s no second interview apart from we took him for a drink and Hibs are bottom of the table 😬.”
