Wanna see my tattoo? (Inked Players)

Not sure if anyone else caught it but Ali Kreiger has a tatoo on her left forearm. I couldn't make out what it said but I saw it twice during the game today.

 

I think it says 'liebe' from seeing it before.

 

'got a tattoo on her arm that reads: “ Liebe” (Love).'

Someone asked Kai via Twitter how many tattoos she had. She said there were at least 55. Her favorite is the one on her right arm with her family.

 

I don't like women, covered by tattoos, especially, when they are so big. Looks like LEPRA.

 

That's more than obvious from your recent posts.

It looks like a charity???????

 

It's a dirty trick - to take separated words from context. I said:"I don't like women, COVERED BY TATTOOS". Well, I also don't like men, who drink vodka and smoke weed. I myself drink no vodka and don't smoke, have also NO tattoos. OK?
Yes, these tatoos often cover whole body, leaving no free place. It looks like skin disease. What's about charity? To give money, used for tattoos - it's really expensive - for starving children in Afrika.

 

I would bet that, among the major women's National Teams, Japan is the only one with no tattoo at all!

I follow Nadeshiko Japan and Nadeshiko League and I don't remember having seen any tattoed player. I guess it's just something Japanese girls don't use to do (as strange as it can sound: a western mode that didn't stick in Japan! Yes, Japan has its particualr kind of tattooes, for instance the yakuza's one, but I never saw Japanese soccer players with a tattoo, be it a "western" one or an "eastern" one).

 

Yes, in Japan tattoos are associated with yakuza and tattooed women - with geishas. So normal japanese girl will never have a tattoo. In Russia also long years ago tattoos were also associated with criminal world.
