ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC and all his tattoos are poised to become the first mega
signing of Jose Mourinho’s Man United reign.
But what do they all mean – and why does he have so many?
The Sweden superstar confessed in his book ‘I am Zlatan’ that getting inked “became
like a drug for me”
1 Right wrist: These numbers are known as the ‘Ibrahimovic code’ and
refer to the birthdates of the males in his family.
They feature his father Sefik, late brother Sapko, other brother Aleksander
and the days on which his two sons Maximilian, nine, and Vince, eight, were
born.
2 Right arm: On the top of his right arm, Ibrahimovic has the names of
his two sons in Arabic fonts.
3 Right bicep: Below them lies ‘Sefik’. Zlatan and his father had
little money and in his book, the striker tells of when they had to carry
home a bed from Ikea because they could not afford the delivery charges.
4 Right oblique: Two playing cards. The ace of hearts features a letter
‘H’ inside it and this is thought to be in honour of his wife Helena Seger.
The ace of clubs is apparently a good luck symbol.
5 Right side: This red dragon is to show off his warrior personality
and comes from Japanese culture.
6 Left wrist: Ibrahimovic has the birthdates of his mother Jurka and
sister Sanela here. Unlike the men, the women of Zlatan’s life go on the
left side because they are closer to his heart.
The men are on the right because the superstar believes that represents
strength.
7 Left bicep: Jurka, the name of his mother, in Arabic font.
8 Stomach: This is the tattoo Ibrahimovic says comes out only when he
is tanned – and was his first.
He said: “The first tattoo I got was my name across my waist in white
ink. You can only see it when I have a tan. It was mainly a test.”
