Confirmed my dear Sernando were ships passing in the night as Fernando was arriving in Miami just as Sergio arrived back in Spain. To get another tattoo.
R.I.P. Sergio's right bicep. It was nice while it lasted.
It looks like another honking tattoo rivaling the size of the Saint scene on his other arm, but all I can make out right now are a treble cleft and shine lines. A sun? Action lines? I fear the Eurocopa could make an appearance given the World Cup on his calf, their historic Euro, and the fact that he's flashing a "three" sign (Euro-WC-Euro, the only team to ever defend their Euro title and be European Champions/World Champions/European Champions). Or maybe this lover of gestures was just too torn between thumbs up and the peace sign.
I should've suspected he'd be inking again soon--and apparently amassing bracelets. Did he collect a bracelet from each locale on vacation? Because they keep multiplying. It's nothing new that Sergio is incredibly fond of ink, but as someone incredibly fond of his beautiful skin, I humbly beg, please at least preserve the pristine chest and abs. It seems to be becoming an obsession (maybe I should blame this on him playing beside David Beckham in his formative youth). Let's focus on the bright side and hope there's a(nother) coded homage to Torres in this latest tattoo...because seriously, I'm convinced the existing elvish tat already is.
Enjoying Sergio's creative decision to not face the camera during this picture with friends; maybe he just really wanted to show off that Lebron jersey again?
Deep thoughts just weren't enough. He needed to make a Lebron interpretative dance statement as well. This is Ramos. You go big, or you go home.
I'm sure the others were making it happily to their new Twitter followers as it was tweeted as a "greeting to you all" by one of the friend posse, Cayo, but they make mention of the gesture as T of Tower or "T" Tower (depending on the bad google trans fu), which is "torre" so hey, maybe while they're doing that to gain tweeps, Sergio has dual motives, making interpretive dance moves for his honey.
Must say, I cracked up at Leo's face (the tattoo artist on the left). He's clearly a character. Also very talented; it's easy to see how his carefully executed craft draws top tier players. It makes me weirdly happy that Leo's twitter feed results in him seeming like a shipper on deck for Sergio and Fernando--who both travel to this same Argentinean tattoo artist in Spain. He had Fernando about a month before the Euro final (adding "post nubilia phoebus" latin for "after the clouds, the sun"), Sergio roughly a month after the final (with whatever soul statement Sergio is making now), and he's very fond of both--even celebrating the Eurocup win with them.
Love the fact that the two trophy moments he chose to tweet were Sernando-y: Fernando carrying the cup with Sergio close behind (about to share some more sweet celebration) and the shot closely following when Sergio handed the cup to Fernando, who passes it off to Cesc and then proceeds to give Sergio the light-up-love/that's my baby look. More on that when I get my Euro recaps posted. ;)
