Ronaldo, Nadal, Federer, Xavi, Mbappé… tattooless sports stars
The possible motives behind the Madeira born player’s reasons for resisting the tattoo parlour and his tendency for giving blood on a regular basis could be the principal motive.
After every tattoo, according to the Red Cross one is prohibited from giving blood for at least four months as to avoid any possible infection transmission. Cristiano Ronaldo gave blood on two occasions as he documented via his social media platforms.
The Real Madrid striker is also a bone marrow donor with the illness affecting the son of his former Portugal team-mate Carlos Martins being the motivating factor and this process also requires the giving of peripheral blood stem cells with Cristiano himself claiming the process is painless.
Roger Federer
Why Federer has no ink on his body he did not say, but the vast sums he makes through endorsements based on his wholesome image probably has something to do with it.
