The Argentine national squad, who won the just finished World Cup competition in Qatar, was captained by Lionel Messi.
Fans of the Argentine squad, which won this month’s World Cup in Qatar, are lined up in Buenos Aires to get tattoos of their champion captain Lionel Messi and the trophy.
Tattoo artist Esteban Vucinovich told AFP in the capital, “I have (appointments) completely dedicated to the World Cup for the next two weeks.”

Some others had previously scheduled appointments for tattoos of snakes or skulls, but now they’re switching to Messi or the Cup. I have two or three appointments each day, the man declared.
According to Vucinovich, the trophy is the subject of the most requests for skin art, followed by Messi and Emiliano Martinez, the Albiceleste’s game-winning goalie against France in the final.
The body art of Argentine athletes like Angel Di Maria, who most recently wore a World Cup tattoo on his right thigh, inspires a lot of followers.
As a token of appreciation, public servant Nicolas Rechanik told AFP, “I got a tattoo of Messi.”
The team that brought us a third World Cup and all the years of work to achieve this goal are also represented, along with what Messi represents.

Rechanik previously wore the face of another Argentine football legend, Diego Maradona, before obtaining the likeness of Messi wearing the team’s blue-and-white striped shirt and kissing the championship trophy permanently attached to his left thigh.
