In an interview on “Con todo al aire” of the Argentinian radio Pulxo 95.1, Roberto López, the artist who made the tattoo to Messi’s arm said how he was preparing this spectacular picture.

The assignment

‘’I received a WhatsApp message telling me ‘Hi I’m Leo’. He received my number through a mutual friend. I had a clear idea, but I had to find the images and compose it.“

Logistics

“He, personally, organized the trip. He didn’t delegate it to anyone. He pick me up at the hotel. He drove the car and helped me to load my suitcase in the car. I traveled to Barcelona 2 times. And, as details remain to be polished, we will come back after the Copa América.”

Messi as a patient

‘’He’s very resistant to pain. We had 3 sessions in 1 week, something extraordinary, I haven’t done with anyone. We did it at his home, in the living room. He asked me if I wanted anything and he told me I could ask anything I want. Anything.“

The remuneration

"From the outset we agreed that he will tattoo me something. He tattood a 10 on the right wrist, which complements the 9 that Palermo did for me on the left wrist. They’re the only tattoos I have.”

Neymar’

‘’One day he introduced me to Neymar, whom I made a couple of tattoos for, at Messi’s home. He also gave me shirts and stuff. I almost cried’’ (x) (x)
