THe Royal Irish Tattoo.

[tricky_colour]

Dunno if I am gonna get some flack for this thread, but which Irish players
have tattoos and which don't?

I think Sledge has no tats?
I don't think Ward has any.
Glen Whelan has.
Keith Andrews hasn't

anyway I will leave it to other to complete the list.

McClean has his name tattoed on his arm.

Westwood has one peeking out from under his jersey.

There's plenty more alright.

Whelan seems to have number 6 tattooed on his back

James isn't the brightest spark and his tattoo is so he remembers his name.

[DannyInvincible]

Andy Reid has Ché Guevara's iconic head image tattooed on his arm. Richard Dunne has some tribal design on his upper left arm. I think James McClean has a sleeve; Shane Duffy might have two. Robbie has a cross on his upper right arm and smaller tattoos on his inner wrists. Westwood and Whelan have tattoos as well. I think this is my favourite of them all though:

That's handy for McClean if he every loses his arm they will whose it is.
Best to put the full address on.
I guess it is helpful if someone shouts "Oi McClean!!"

it's bad enough having McClean put his name on his body but Leon Best tatting himself with his address? What if he moves??

[tricky_colour]

don't think Duff McGeady or Hunt have any.
Nor O' Shea, nor Greg Cunningham nor McShane or Foley

Robbie Keane does he has his and his wife's name tattooed on it along with
the birthday of their son, which is practical if nothing else, my dad never had
any idea what my birthdays was, nor did anyone else judging by the sparsity of presents.

Almost sure I noticed a tatt on mcgeadys arm during a jersey swap...

Yep, he does. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/2870975/Aiden-McGeady-gets-angel-tattoo.html

Not sure if he has his address on, but he has mum tattooed on his chest.

Most vain: Interesting stuff here as Hunt refers to the “LV Group”, a bunch of players who went to Las Vegas last year and came back with some bad tattoos. Hunt names just two though, Keogh and Liam Lawrence.

Guess I made a mistake on that one, I had a look at his pics on google but he wears long sleeves much of the time.

Keogh has a full arm of them on show last night. .

[Charlie Darwin]

Keogh and McClean are the most decorated of our players. It's weird, there seems to be a tattoo culture in the Irish squad but I can't pinpoint exactly who it emanates from. Keogh would be the most likely person as he's been around a long time and is very popular in the dressing room.

[Olé Olé]

Shane Duffy is well-decorated also.

Quite a sleeve for a 20 year-old.
