Totally normal behaviour

A Cristiano Ronaldo fan has shown his support for the five-time Ballon d’Or by getting his name and number tattooed on his back.

Ronaldo’s fame spreads across the entire world with the 37-year-old renowned for his glittering career that has seen him play for Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and now Al Nassr.

One fan has shown his love for the forward so much that he has decided to to get Ronaldo immortalised onto his body forever.

Parthiban from India got the tattoo on his back as well as his name at the top as well as the number seven – Ronaldo’s famous shirt number – below.

Ronaldo himself doesn’t have any tattoos. It’s believed that he doesn’t have them so that he is able to give blood regularly.

The tattoo appears to have the same font that the LaLiga used, where Ronaldo broke endless records during his time at Los Blancos.

Parthiban shared the post on Instagram and explained that he has gone to extreme lengths to show his love for the 37-year-old, even admitting to crying when Portugal were knocked out of the World Cup in Qatar.

“I am a huge Ronaldo fan; I love his attitude and his hard work,” he told Newsflash.

“He also came from a middle-class family and I can relate to him.

“He made his country proud and he made Portugal a well-known country around the world. He doesn’t have any bad habits. These qualities and his character made me a fan of him.

“I admire him most, so I decided to tattoo his name and number.

“I know Ronaldo doesn’t like tattoos, but I tattooed for myself and I felt heartbroken when Portugal lost in the World Cup. I was emotional when he cried.
