Diego Maradona Tattoo

One if not the greatest professional soccer player of all time, Diego has a tattoo of Che Guevara on his arm and then a tattoo of Fidel Castro on his leg. He went to Cuba on a number of occasions to visit Castro and to do rehabilitation for his addition to cocaine. Diego has come a long way, from World Cup hero to drug addict to Argentina's national team coach.

Natasha Kai Tattoos

Kai, who is from Kahuku, Hawaii, has 19 tattoos in total and has said that she got each one when she was going through a difficult time - each tattoo representing something meanful to her, from lyrics she's to images and designs. She has the most tattoos of anyone on this list and currently plays for Sky Blue FC in the WPS.

Fabio Cannavaro Tattoo

Cannavaro has been the captain for Juventus, Real Madrid, and his Italian national team. He is the anchor of the team. He is the last man who makes the game or goal saving tackle. He has played for Napoli, Parma, Inter, Juventus and Real Madrid. After three years with Madrid he is returning to Juventus. At the age of 35, he is close to retiring from the game soon.

Harry Kewell Tattoo

The Australian midfielder who once played for Leeds and Liverpool in the EPL, now plays for Turkish side Galatasaray. He has one of the few colored tattoos on this list. A wide midfielder who has great skill on the ball and can beat players.

Freddie Ljungberg Tattoos

Ljungberg had an inflamed hip some years ago, and it turned out the ink in one of his tattoos caused a lymphatic gland to inflame which was pushing up against a nerve on his side. He had the gland removed and was out for a month. He has since decided against getting any more tattoos. Usually the main risk from a tattoo is the possibility of an infection from hepatitis B or C. Ljungberg has two panthers tattooed on his back.

The Swedish midfielder now plays for the Sounders in the MLS after having played for in the EPL for over ten years with Arsenal for 9 years and then West Ham United. Freddie has modeled and represented brands like Calvin Klein, Nike, Proter & Gamble, L'Oreal, Puma and Pepsi.

Fernando Torres Tattoos

Torres spent over six years with Atletico Madrid before moving to the EPL and Liverpool. He quickly established himself with Liverpool, scoring goal after goal with his head, on the volley, or on his own.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Tattoo

Another Swede on the list, the Inter Milan forward has been tearing up the Italian Serie A for a number of years now. He's talked about moving on, perhaps to the EPL, not sure if Mourinho would let him leave. For a big man, he has great touch on the ball and skill.

Djibril Cisse Tattoo

Cisse has a number of tattoos, but the biggest and most obvious being this pair of angel like wings on his back. Does his make him faster? Think he's fast enough already. Cisse hopefully doesn't go the route of Dennis Rodman, who is covered with piercings, tattoos and was known to change his hair color repeatedly, like Cisse. Cisse

Cisse has played for Auzerre and Marseille in France and then Liverpool and Sunderland (current team) in the EPL. Cisse suffered two brutal broken legs, once while playing for Liverpool and then once why with France.

Wayne Rooney Tattoos

Rooney grew up playing for Everton but was bought by Manchester United and the young boxer's career took off after that.

Rooney has the title of a Stereophonics album on his arm: Just Enough Education To Perform. Rooney, who used to be somewhat of a tempermental future star, has turned into a pure professional who plays with an aggressive energy that his team builds off of. He’s gone away from stupid red and yellow cards but hasn’t sacrificed all that for his determined drive to win games.

Rooney has two other tattoos, his wife's name, Coleen and then a ornate cross.

Ricardo Quaresma Tattoos

He has a wicked outside of the foot shot and cross. He has played for Sporting, Barcelona, Porto, Inter Milan and now Chelsea. However, he hasn't been able to break into the Chelsea side in the second half of the season when Scholari was let go.

No telling where he could end up next year. He is a unique player, who will go at players on the dribble and serves in good crosses. He just needs to regain his confidence and get steady playing time.

Deco Tattoos

The former Porto and Barcelona midfielder has a large picture of a Geisha on his back and a smaller tattoo on his left arm. He has struggled this year with injuries, but hopefully he can regain the form he had at Barcelona next year when he's healthy again. He started off scoring goals for Chelsea, but after missing out on a few games due to a hamstring injury, he has never seemed to find his previous form. Deco is an artist on the field, so it's no surprise he wanted to decorate his back with a painting.

Dani Alves Tattoos

Alves has a pitcure of his wife on his right arm and then his son's name emblazoned across his chest. He has come into his own at Barcelona. Perhaps the best signing of the 2008/2009 season by Guardiola. Barcelona have the chance to win three trophies this year if they can beat Manchester United in the Champions League final. And Dani Alves, tattoos and all, is a big reason why they've had so much success this year.

At right back, he works up the line with Messi creating havoc for the teams they face. He spent years playing with Sevilla before moving up to play at the Camp Nou with Barcelona. And I don't think Barca will let him leave anytime soon.

David Beckhams Tattoos

Beckham has 11 tattoos in total, but this could change soon at a moments notice, as it seems he's set on covering his body with tattoos. He has his son’s names, Brooklyn, Cruz, and Romeo on his back, a guardian angel in the shape of a cross, his wife’s name and a replica of her wrapped around her name in Hindi. He also has the Roman numerals VII to commemorate the number 7 he wore for Manchester United on his right arm. Other more intricate tattoos adorn his arms.

Who does the tattoos for Beckham? That would be: Manchester tattoo artist Louis Malloy. Who is said to be the best in the UK and who, at one point, Beckham was said to have flown into Madrid to do a tattoo. On his return to AC Milan, just after the New Year, Beckham displayed a new Jesus tattoo on the side of his stomach.
