How well do you think you know your favourite footballers?

No doubt if you shared a room with them, you'd be able to spot them in a split-second, but would you be able to recognise them based upon, say, their haircut, fashion sense or even the way they walk?

Ok, perhaps that's a little ambitious because clothes and trims can easily change, but one distinguishing feature that is about as permanent as they come - pretty much, anyway - is a tattoo.

Tattoos in football

You can put your football idol in a fake moustache and grandad clothes with a limp all day long, but if the Buzz Lightyear tattoo on their forehead is still there for the world to see, then they're snookered.

Ok, joking aside, tattoos are one of the many ways in which footballers and everyday people can express themselves either through adorning something that's important to them or simply by sporting an illustration they like the look of.

And in the case of professional players, many of these are often on display for millions of onlookers whilst they swap shirts at full-time or generally have their legs and arms on show due to the kit they wear.
