In today’s football, where professional football stars enjoy the glamour, fame, and the big endorsements that come their way in the course of their work, which makes most of them turn to the art of tattoos as it has become a tradition.
Perhaps they’re supposed to act as role models for the younger generation of players coming behind in order to learn some positive things from them as a superstar who has seen it all.
However, in a sport where it seems just like about every football stars have tattoos and a large pool of them wears various degrees of tattoos. Then there are still some exceptional football stars who have not joined the trend and the willing taste of tattoo wearing, those visible and those that are not.
Today, we look at a few players who doesn’t wear tattoos and their reasons.
Here are the star players without any form of tattoos on their bodies.
Mo Salah
Liverpool and Egypt forward Salah is a devoted Muslim who said he’s not ready for the tattoo, the forward is well known for his sujood when he scores goals for club and country, an act which is synonymous with the Muslims faithful.
Salah spoke about his likes and dislikes, he said he doesn’t have tattoos, he doesn’t change his hairstyles, and he doesn’t know how to dance, which shows the Egyptian forward just wants to play football and put the ball at the back of the net.
Perhaps because of his religion that is why he has stayed clear off the bandwagon of players who have decided to wear a tattoo on their body.
N’Golo Kante
One player who also looks very humble and never succumbed to the trend of footballers wearing tattoos is Chelsea midfield maestro Kante.
The French midfielder remains a humble and decent player despite the avalanche of success he has recorded in recent time both with club and country recently winning the World Cup in Russia 2018.
In an era where it seems like every football stars now wear a tattoo and flaunt their expensive possessions, the French midfielder opted for a low-key lifestyle that will not affect his career presently and in the future.
Although, it’s pretty difficult to stay away from a terrible lifestyle that has landed some big stars into unending troubles, yet the French man isn’t ready for that kind of lifestyle.
It is difficult to see Kante display his body or wealth off the pitch, perhaps due to how he trained himself. His love for his body and his religion, however, it’s left to be seen if we might still see Kante wear a tattoo on his body.
Cristiano Ronaldo
The former Real Madrid forward is well known for his zeal and dedication to always want to play well and score goals, the five-time world player of the year is the third among the aforementioned football stars that aren’t crazy about wearing a tattoo despite all the fame, stardom, and endorsements.
It still connotes some kind of misery why the Portuguese forward doesn’t wear a tattoo on his body despite all the money.
Speaking on the reasons why he still keeps his body without a tattoo, Ronaldo revealed his love for helping humanities.
“I don’t have tattoos because I donate blood very often, in other to help other people who are sick.
With what Ronaldo has done in the past, and still doing presently in donating blood, it’s pretty difficult to see a tattoo on the Portuguese forward, as his love to help humanities never stops growing day and night.
David Luiz
Another player that many might find hard to believe that doesn’t wear a tattoo is the former Chelsea defender Luiz, not for anything but because of his rugged nature and to some extent his irrational behavior.
The Brazilian international is a devoted Catholic like most South Americans, like Kaka who wears no form of a tattoo on his body, which still sounds surprising as some Brazilian are well known for their flamboyant lifestyle.
During the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Luiz was the only player in the Brazilian starting eleven that faced Croatia that was not wearing a tattoo despite the colorful and flamboyant lifestyle of the Brazilian which comes night clubbing and drinking.
Luiz doesn’t look like a player that will wear one soon due to his religion, he’s not ready to toe the path which some of his Brazilian colleagues have taken that later destroyed their career, a typical example of such a player is Leite Adriano.

Andres Iniesta
The former Barcelona midfield maestro is another big star that doesn’t wear a tattoo or an earring despite his overwhelming success in playing the round leather game, which is one surprising life aspect of the former Spanish star.
During his 22 years stints or thereabouts, Iniesta claimed 32 trophies in over 674 appearances during the course of his career with the Camp Nou giant, and in all of those periods, Iniesta wasn’t seen wearing a tattoo both publicly and privately.
Now with a Japanese club side Kobe, and with his football career gradually coasting home, the former Barcelona captain doesn’t look like a player that will wear a tattoo on his body soon, just for the sake of fame or endorsements.
Sadio Mane
Mane is probably the most low-key footballer when it comes to featuring in the sports press.
In today’s game you would probably find it hard to find a more humble person or player in the world of football than Mane, who in time past confessed that he is not in the least bit interested in accumulating needless luxuries or possessions which is more synonymous to football stars.
However, despite all of that, Mane is also one the top players that don’t wear a tattoo on his body despite all of his fortunes although he’s not someone that usually show off with his fortunes, and due to his religion which he has shown a couple of time.
Perhaps, Mane has decided to channel all his fortunes on helping humanities just like Ronaldo has been doing with donating his blood to help revive the sick, rather than spending the money on inking a tattoo on his body which has been good for him.
