Ronaldo and the secret to 'immortality' without tattoos

Ronaldo and his father have only muscles and no tattoos.

Nowadays, in the football world, the story of players with tattoos covering their bodies has become too familiar. Just "observing" the moment they change shirts after the match, you will easily come across "living works of art" spread across the flesh.

Ronaldo says no to tattoos

Across the football pitches from Europe to America, even in Asia, tattoos have become an “identity card” to express personality. From superstar players like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos or Zlatan Ibrahimovic to players with names only around the region, all possess “collections” of tattoos to express their ego.

For footballers, tattoos are not just a fashion statement but also a personal statement. Each tattoo is a story: a personal memory, a mark of a loved one, a motto that guides life, or a lucky symbol.

On the contrary, Cristiano Ronaldo chose a different path. When CR7 took off his shirt to celebrate a goal or exchanged shirts with his opponent, fans only saw a muscular body.

Ronaldo has no tattoos or ink on his body, making him a rare exception among superstar footballers. And the fact that the Portuguese captain has no tattoos tells a story worth listening to a thousand times more than the anecdotes about Messi or David Beckham's tattoos.

Ronaldo at 40 is not out of date yet.

Everyone knows that Ronaldo is very stylish, loves fashion, pays attention to himself and likes to express his personality. Therefore, the fact that he does not have tattoos is something that many people wonder about. In 2018, CR7 revealed: "I often donate blood so I do not have tattoos" - donating blood whenever someone needs it, especially children.

Those words are not an image trick. CR7 has participated in many blood donation programs and encouraged his fans to do the same. He does not need a big PR campaign - just quiet but consistent actions, over a long period of time.

For those who understand medical regulations, everyone knows that Ronaldo's reason for not getting a tattoo is completely reasonable. After getting a tattoo, blood donors usually have to wait 6-12 months to avoid the risk of transmitting blood-borne diseases. That means, even a small tattoo can interrupt his journey to help others. In addition to his habit of donating blood, Ronaldo also actively registered to donate bone marrow.

Ronaldo's actions help others and himself

Ronaldo's blood donation not only helps others but also helps himself. We have all heard about the obvious health benefits of regular blood donation.

First of all, it stimulates the regeneration of new blood because after donating, the body is forced to produce more red blood cells, helping to increase the ability to transport oxygen. This is a key factor for endurance.

Donating blood also reduces excess iron, thereby helping to protect the heart, reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, and improve blood circulation. In addition, donating blood also helps stabilize blood pressure and improve circulation: A "rejuvenated" circulatory system helps to recover faster after tough matches.

One thing to emphasize is the positive psychological impact. The reason is that donating blood activates endorphins and oxytocin - happy hormones, which help reduce stress and improve sleep quality.

To this day, Ronaldo still maintains the ability to sprint, jump high, shoot and press like a player in his twenties.

Ronaldo still maintains the ability to sprint, jump, shoot and press like a player in his twenties. Last week, Ronaldo scored three goals to help Al Nassr win a friendly 4-0 against Rio Ave in his home country of Portugal on August 7.

These three goals are not counted in the official record. However, it shows that Ronaldo is still maintaining high performance at the age of 40 and is full of hope to play for many more years to become the first person to score 1,000 goals.

Why can Ronaldo run so well while his teammates of the same generation have almost all retired? Experts have explained this based on 3 pillars: iron discipline, sports science and fighting spirit, but few people mention the factor of “no tattoos to donate blood” as a piece of the whole picture.

But from a scientific perspective, it is clear that donating blood also contributes significantly to making Ronaldo always strong and full of energy in his veins.

Regular blood donations help Ronaldo maintain optimal red blood cell density, improve oxygen exchange and limit muscle fatigue. In intense matches lasting more than 90 minutes, that is the advantage that helps him explode when others are exhausted.
