Influencer regrets Messi tattoo
WHAT A MESS I filmed myself getting huge Messi tattoo across my forehead after World Cup win – two weeks later I hate it
A
LIONEL Messi fan says he regrets tattooing the footballer's name on his
forehead following Argentina’s victory in the World Cup.
Colombian influencer, Maicol Quinonez, shared the shocking moment he got ‘Messi’ tattooed in huge letters across his head in a social media post.
Now only two weeks later, the influencer more widely known as Mike Jambs says he hates the tattoo.
The bizarre inking was a tribute to World Cup champion Lionel Messi and Quinonez captioned his post “Fulfilling the challenge. I love you @leomessi’.
The digital creator also had three stars tattooed on one of his cheeks representing Argentina’s World Cup wins and D10s on the other - a play on the Spanish word for ‘God’ and the footballers famous shirt number.
Quinonez has racked up over 143,000 followers on Instagram, many of whom mocked the influencer for his latest ink.
Viewers commented their thoughts on the influencers tribute tatts, one wrote: “People for likes do very stupid things, I don’t know why I follow you”.
Another commented: “People are so backwards”.
A third said: “Hopefully one day you won't have to regret it and it’ll actually be worth it, I doubt it”.
Initially, he defended his decision to get the tattoo, telling his followers: “I'm not harming anyone, I'm not doing anything illegal.”
But now he has admitted in a recent social media video that he wishes he could turn back the clock, saying: “I regret having done the tattoo because instead of bringing me positive things, it's led to lots of negative things, both personally and for my family.”
“I didn’t think I would say this so soon. I was very proud [of it] the first few days, but I regret it.”
"They just say that I am not a positive example for society."
"Be careful with your words. You don't know the damage you can do to someone because of social media. You don't know how you can destroy your life,” he added.
Tattooists in Argentina were flooded with requests for Messi tributes following the triumphant World Cup win.
Many fans were also left in hysterics after one fan got a tattoo of the Paris Saint-Germain striker on his back that was labelled the ‘worst ever’ by some viewers.
The ink showed Messi holding up the World Cup trophy but his giant head seemed unnaturally large for his body.
One critic joked: “When the tattoo artist is a Brazil supporter”.
A second said: “Looks like Messi in 2026 being 39 and overweight”.

I can see the Messi´s tattoo across the forehead of several supporters. I seem horrible. It´s not strange for me that they were regretted and they want to take off it. They hate it two weeks later. What a mess. “I love you Messi” said Colombian influencer, Mr. Quinonez, and I suppose that 143,000 followers love Messi too. What great is love. In this case, love it wasn´t at first sight, but after a lot of years, because Messi must be more 30. Some people said that the football doesn´t have principles and it´s not true, because it not only joins people but provokes that 143.000 people fall in love with Messi. As in the past, with religion, Messi is God and football is religion. The first principle of football is love.
A person commented: “People for likes do very stupid things” and another said: “People are so backwards”. It doesn´t matter, people do strange things when they fall in love. Doing a tattoo when you fall in love it´s unimportance, I know that there are people who get to marry, none other one than get married. It´s unbelievable.
See you.
Were you on the sherry last night? Your comment isn't to the standard I have come to expect of you.
We all do things that we later regret . many of them are extremely embarrassing (I've had my fair share), but this guy just exemplifies how thick the average football supporter is. Football players aren't renowned for their intelligence, so it's hardly surprising that their loyal fans are also lacking in the brain cell department.

A person commented: “People for likes do very stupid things” and another said: “People are so backwards”. It doesn't matter, people do strange things when they fall in love. Getting a tattoo (done) when you fall in love is unimportant, I know that there are people who get married for no other reason than to be married. It´s unbelievable.
