Many football stars opt out of getting tattoos due to religious beliefs, personal choice, or health reasons. Superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah avoid tattoos to donate blood regularly or due to their Muslim faith. The likes of Robert Lewandowski and Matthijs de Ligt also don't have tattoos, albeit for different reasons to others.
In the modern day, footballers are on wages that are hard to imagine. The best stars in the world all earn over £200k a week, allowing them to buy nearly anything they want. It's a luxury that can never be taken for granted compared to the average person — and it's a common sight to see them splashing the cash on items such as stunning cars and houses.
Some opt to get tattoos as well to 'decorate' their body. It might be for a symbolic meaning or purely just to think it looks better, but the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar, two of the greatest players of all time , both have tattoos across their bodies. However, on the other side of the coin, some footballers remain firm in their beliefs, insisting that they will not get any tattoos.
It has to be commended — and shows that not every footballer is the exact same. Whether it's due to their religion, giving blood or purely a personal choice, several world stars have decided not to get them. We have decided to outline nine of the most famous players around the world who have done this, including the greatest Portuguese player of all time.
