While Messi has more than 18, the truth behind why Cristiano doesn’t has tattoos and has shocked many

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are often compared since they started their football careers. The two players are regarded as the greatest players of all time. Another comparison by the fans is their lifestyle outside of football, which includes their preferences. Messi has more than 18 tattoos on his body, while Ronaldo has none. Messi has many tattoos that are significant to football and his family. Ronaldo does not have any tattoos due to his principles of keeping healthy and respect for his body. Many Ronaldo fans admire the Portuguese icon for these purposes since he is very strict with his health in terms of recovery, athletic ability, and diet. In 2011, it was reported that Ronaldo had a teammate in the Portuguese national team who was diagnosed with leukemia. His son needed blood and bone marrow transfusions, leading the player to not have ink on his skin in case he needed to help others in need of healthy blood.
