Tattoos are a big commitment.
They’re expensive and painful with quite a lot of meaning behind them and they’re a huge part of someone’s life.
So it’s a little bit understandable that a footballer who makes the effort to get their actual neck tattooed would want the ink to be included in every depiction of him, something that EA Sports have dropped the ball on.
Gregory van der Wiel is quite unhappy with the fact that the folks at the helm of the player tattoo department at EA Sports HQ (we presume it’s a whole department) have failed to feature his lovely artwork.

We bet they won’t forget Lionel Messi’s full sleeve. #TeachersPet
