But what Speed did recently to show his affection for Ronaldo was simply unexpected. The 17-year-old recently posted a picture on Twitter where he had the likeness of CR7 tattooed on his arm. Speed is no stranger to having tattoos, but no one anticipated him to get a Ronaldo-inspired tattoo.

IShowSpeed didn’t make any statement about the tattoo in the caption. So it begs the question of whether it is permanent or not. However, the streamer himself might soon answer this query on stream. Whatever the case may be, the 17-year-old made a daring move in displaying his love for the Portuguese soccer star.

Twitter found the tattoo funny

Despite it being a big move by IShowSpeed to prove himself a Ronaldo admirer, it received a lot of criticism from fans. The reason for it is the tattoo itself, as it doesn’t resemble the soccer player at all. Instead, they believe it resembles the poorly built Ronaldo statue or the player’s doppelganger with whom Speed once collaborated.

If you had to get a tattoo of your favorite soccer player, who would it be? Let us know your answers in the comments below.
