Lionel Messi received a prestigious honor on Thursday, being awarded the MARCA America Award, which recognizes the player with the most titles in soccer history.
After accepting the award and a unique painting from artist Javier Tortosa, Messi took time to interact with fans. He posed for photos and signed jerseys for several attendees. One creative fan, not having a jersey, asked Messi to sign his arm instead. The fan planned to get Messi’s autograph tattooed shortly after the event.
Once the event concluded, the fan wasted no time and headed straight to a tattoo parlor to immortalize Messi’s signature on his arm, creating a lasting memento.
Throughout the event, Messi was all smiles, celebrating his achievements and the artistic award designed by Carlos Benavidez.
Currently, Messi is preparing to wrap up the MLS regular season with Inter Miami before heading into the playoffs. He comes off a remarkable performance, having scored a hat-trick against Bolivia while playing for Argentina.
