RICHARLISON has shown off a huge new back tattoo featuring himself alongside Neymar and Ronaldo.
The Brazilian was left heartbroken after his side’s World Cup exit last Friday, as they went down on penalties to Croatia in the quarter-finals.
Now finding himself with a bit of time off, Richarlison has decided to get a huge new back tattoo.
The design features head shots of himself, team-mate Neymar and R9.
It also features a child wearing a backwards cap and a “Richarlison 9” jersey, looking out over a favela.
The detailed tattoo takes up the star’s entire back, and has been done by regular artist to Brazilian stars Dom Tattoo.
Dom has also inked Richarlison’s fellow Prem stars Antony, Bruno Guimaraes and Fabio Vieira.
He shared a short video clip of the Tottenham striker’s design to his 157,000 Instagram followers, with Richarlison subsequently re-posting it to his own story.
After a snap of the tattoo was posted on Twitter, a number of social media users couldn’t believe that Richarlison had decided to get his pal Neymar tattooed onto his back.
One wrote: “It’s weird to get neymar tattooed on you.”

A second asked: “Why Neymar…?”
While another added: “Out of all Brazilian legends he took Neymar.”
Up until 2020, Richarlison didn’t have a single tattoo – although he has since gathered an ever-growing collection.
Earlier this year, he got a tattoo on his neck saying “he’s Brazilian” in reference to the song that Everton supporters used to sing to him.
His then got a piece of art on his chest.
Richarlison has a heart with a Brazilian flag with Dom stating that it represents his “addiction” to the national team.
But Dom claims that it wasn’t planned with the footballer asking for it in the spur-of-the-moment.
He duly obliged and worked his magic.
Richarlison also has his favourite cartoon characters on his arm, including Daffy Duck, Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny.
Spurs fans won’t get to see Richarlison in action for a while, with the forward set to miss a month with a hamstring injury suffered ahead of Brazil’s clash with Croatia.
He played on for 84 minutes with the issue, but will now need to rest and recover.
