Footy Stars Line Up to be Inked

10:06 AM

Tattoos amongst AFL (Australian Football League) players seems to be a growing trend. More and more of them seem to be lining up to be inked. Whereas with other sports such as soccer, NRL or NFL it is very hard to see if a player has a tattoo on his upper arm but that is not the case with AFL or footy as it is known in Australia. The standard AFL guernsey is sleeveless although a few players do wear the long sleeve top. As a result footy players don't really get to hide their tattoos while on the field.

In most careers visible tattoos are a definite no-no. Not so in AFL! There are a number of players such as the players listed below who have tattoos on their inner arms. Their tattoos can be seen quite often particularly when they reach up to take a mark or score a goal. The reason for footy players getting tattoos is as diverse as with any other tattoo enthusiast. Some players seem to get them to mark milestones in their life or career while others get them because they look great!
