I gotta admit, the large dragon on the dude’s back looks pretty bad ass or it’s possible I’ve been watching a little too much NBA Finals as of late and regrettable tats are slowly growing on me. Here’s more about Raul Meireles & his tat addiction via his Wiki:
Raul José Trindade Meireles (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁɐˈuɫ mɐjˈɾɛl(ɨ)ʃ] Ra-Ul Mey-Re-Lesh) (born 17 March 1983) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Fenerbahçe as a midfielder in the Süper Lig.
In international football Meireles national career began at youth level when he represented the Under-16 side at the 2000 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship in Israel. In November 2006 he was called up to the senior squad for the first time. He later represented Portugal in the UEFA Euro 2008, 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012.
Tattoos
Raul Meireles has been a fan of tattoos since he was 18 years old. He has numerous tattoos adorning his body, including images of his wife Ivone and their single daughter, Lara. He also has a large tattoo of a black and red Chinese-style dragon, drawn in two stages, that sprawls across his back, and, a huge necklace tattoo with a skull, drawn one week after his twenty-eighth birthday.
After moving to Anfield, during a Liverpool’s official website interview, he said said jokingly that he wanted to win the “tattoos championship” against Daniel Agger and Martin Škrtel, due to the huge number of tattoos that they have.
