NOW TAT'S A FAN: Ronaldo Super Fan Has Shirt Inked On Back
A Ronaldo super fan has proudly shown off his ink-credible tribute to the football star by having his shirt number tattooed on his back.
The giant tat - showing Ronaldo's name, his favourite shirt number, and a football - covers fan Parthiban's entire back.
Parthiban - from Tamil Nadu, India - posted images of the huge inking in an Instagram video last month (December).
Machinist Parthiban, 28, told Newsflash in an interview: "I'm from a middle-class family and I have a younger brother.
"I love sports and I follow football and cricket from time to time. I play football, cricket, and volleyball.
"My dream was to become a soldier in Indian Army, but I am a school dropout; I couldn't continue my education after high school.
"Because of that, I couldn't continue following my dream."
He said of his idol: "I am a huge Ronaldo fan; I love his attitude and his hard work. He also came from a middle-class family and I can relate to him.
"He made his country proud and he made Portugal a well-known country around the world. He doesn't have any bad habits. These qualities and his character made me a fan of him.
"I admire him most, so I decided to tattoo his name and number. I know Ronaldo doesn't like tattoos, but I tattooed for myself and I felt heartbroken when Portugal lost in the World Cup. I was emotional when he cried.
"I posted the tattoo video on Instagram and shared it with some pages. It went viral, which I totally didn't expect it to be."
On his dream, Parthiban said: "I hope one day I can meet Ronaldo in person. Until then I work hard for my family and myself."
