Why Cristiano ronaldo has no tattoos
Cristiano Ronaldo is known across the globe for his incredible performances on the football pitch, but his lack of tattoos points to some of the other amazing work he does.
The Manchester United player is no stranger to sharing a snap of his shirtless self on his Instagram page, and his years running around the pitch have given viewers plenty of time to look at his legs, so fans may be aware of the fact that his body is ink-free.
There are no tattoos honouring his many, many goals, nothing referencing his Portuguese heritage and no words depicting the names of his kids, and though the choice not to have tattoos is a very common one, Ronaldo actually has a very specific reason for his lack of ink.
In 2012, the footballer told Italian news website Diretta he didn't have tattoos so he can 'donate blood more often'.
According to the NHS, blood donors have to wait four months after getting a tattoo or skin piercing before donating again.Ronaldo encouraged more people to become blood donors with a campaign launched in partnership with Abbott in 2015, saying at the time we can 'all make a difference by donating blood'.
