The legendary Swedish frontman – who also represented the likes of , Manchester and the during his distinguished career – boasts plenty of body art, including a giant lion inking on his back.

He has, however, decided to have one of his tattoos lasered off. That is not a particularly comfortable process, with Ibrahimovic finding that out the hard way. The design in question sits on the left-hand side of Zlatan’s torso.

Having billed himself as a sporting deity when competing at the highest level for clubs around the world, Ibrahimovic decided to get a tattoo which read: “Only God can judge me.” He has now had that removed in a painful procedure.

Previously explaining the tattoo, Zlatan had said: “They could write whatever they wanted in the papers. Scream anything at all from the stands. They still couldn’t get at me. Only God could judge me! I liked that. You have to go your own way, so I got those words tattooed on me.”

Ibrahimovic remains as outspoken as ever since hanging up his boots at the age of 41, with the enigmatic Swede now filling an advisory role at that sees him working with the likes of USMNT star Christian Pulisic and Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric.
