Zlatan’s Back Tattoos
Let's start with the tattoo on Zlatan Ibrahimović's back. On the left shoulder blade, we can see a huge koi fish in the waves in the design. In Japanese tradition, koi is a symbol of courage and perseverance, and a good sign of childbirth. On the right behind it is a dragon, completely red. The dragon is the bearer of peace and wisdom and represents the element of water in Japanese tradition.
In the middle of Zlatan's upper back, there is a big dream catcher design, which is usually tattooed to get rid of certain negative events. But we don't know the specific meaning of this topic for football players.
He also has two other tattoos on the back. These are quite complex designs belonging to Buddhist culture, symbolizing the pursuit of inner spirit and inner strength.
Zlatan has a very impressive English sentence under his left armpit: "Only God Can Judge Me". This shows the belief of the attacker and his weird temperament.
