Countdown to the Mathieu Debuchy’s Birthday: 04 days - Tattoos.

He has lost count of them all now but his entire left arm and most of his back are covered. He has the names of his children Lalou, Lukas and Manon on each leg and the bottom of his back. It is all the work of a friend from Lille.

“Everyone has their own desires on what they want on their body. I just feel a real need to be able to express what I feel — and on my body it is tattoos.” - Mathieu Debuchy.

“There is the fashion side to it but the majority are about my religion and my family. They have meaning. I am going to continue getting more but my wife may not like it. She has a few of her own but thinks I have enough.” - Mathieu Debuchy.

An excerpt from interview from Le Parisien:

LP: Would you want your children to be tattooed?

MD: I think maybe they will blame. My son has already asked me. I told him some things. But later, I think I can not say no.

LP: How do you see your body?

MD: I really like what I have on the skin. After that, I understand that it may not appeal. But I get compliments. It is often said that my arm is very beautiful.

LP: What will your next tattoo?

MD: I’d like a beautiful lion head in the back. I love this animal, which is also my astrological sign. It is thought, but I do not know when I will.

This post has gotten so bad, sorry
