Lionel Messi was confronted with a rather strange fan request during a recent impromptu meet-and-greet session at Barcelona.
"[Sign] below the shirt number," the fan asked his idol. "I'm going to tattoo it."
Messi obliged and signed.
Messi isn't the only footballer to have his likeness immortalised in tattoo form.
