JAKARTA - Tato artists in Argentina, especially Buenos Aires, are flooded with jobs after the 2022 World Cup. This cannot be separated from the success of Lionel Messi and his friends in winning the 2022 World Cup.
After Argentina became world champion, many fans lined up to get tattoos on their bodies. Images of World Cup trophies and Messi are most in demand.
"For the next two weeks, I have made a special promise regarding the World Cup," tattoo artist Esteban Vucinovich told AFP in Buenos Aires on Monday.
"Some have made promises for snake and skull tattoos, but they turned them into Messi or the World Cup trophy. I have two to three meetings a day," he continued as reported by Antara, Tuesday, December 27.
The World Cup trophy is becoming the most popular, said Vucinovich, followed by images of Messi and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, both of whom played an important role in Albiceleste's win in the final against France.
"I have Messi's tattoo as an expression of gratitude," said a civil servant Nicolas Rechanik.
"Ini menggambarkan bukan hanya apa yang Messi lakukan tapi juga tim yang menghadirkan kami Piala Dunia ketiga dan seluruh tahun upaya untuk meraih tujuan ini," sambungnya.
Before finding his left leg tattooed with a picture of Messi wearing a blue and white line jersey kissing a World Cup trophy, Rechanik had another image of the Argentine football icon Diego Maradona.
"This is a perfect representation of Argentine football and what it means to be an Argentine," he said.
Meanwhile, Alma Ocampo (20) decided to tattoo her body when Argentina suffered its first defeat at the World Cup against Saudi Arabia.
"When everyone lost confidence, I decided that... if Argentina wins, I will be tattooed of the trophy. And I did, with December 18, 2022 from that final match," he said. "It hurts a little bit."
Ariel Sacchi, a physical education teacher, has a tattoo representing five World Cups that Messi has participated in. In the middle is a picture of the captain kissing a trophy.
"I chose Leo (Messi) because he brought enormous joy to all Argentine people," Sacci said.
However, not all tattoos are completed perfectly. Messi's image that doesn't resemble his real face or the wrong naming becomes some trending topic on social media
