Joe Hart might wear a long-sleeved shirt next time he’s on camera at Euro 2024…
The former England goalkeeper first appeared on the pitch ahead of the Three Lions’ opening clash against Serbia on Sunday.
He is a part of the BBC’s punditry team in Germany and looks set to be a regular feature, giving expert insight into each match.
However, it wasn’t Hart’s words on TV that meant he went viral at the weekend, it was actually his arm tattoos!
What do Joe Hart’s tattoos mean?
Now-retired Hart has multiple tattoos on his arms, shoulders and legs.
And all of them are completely blacked out.
He has two huge black hoops on his right forearm and another dark tattoo over his shoulder while on his left wrist, he has another two rings.
On Instagram, Hart has also shown off more hoops on his right ankle.
The shoulder tattoo in particular seems to be shaped like body armour and that’s what he called it on social media in 2019.
Thanking his tattoo artist Hanu Mantra, he wrote: “You are the man @hanumantra thank you, this is the only time of year I could take this on so I appreciate you fitting me in and smashing it!!
“I got my armour on now… let’s see what’s next. Not everyone’s taste I understand that but this definitely represents me and thank you for making it happen.”
Hart hasn’t revealed a particular meaning behind them, however, he admitted that the tattoos represent him.
In that same post from five years ago, the former Manchester City shot-stopper admitted it wasn’t everyone’s taste and that is certainly the case at Euro 2024.
After Hart’s appearance on BBC One at England’s opener in Germany, one fan wrote: “What on earth are Joe Hart’s tattoos just then.”
Another said: “What the hell has Joe Hart done. Please tell me that these are not tattoos omg”
“Still thinking about Joe Hart’s tattoos,” a third supporter wrote the day after the game.
Hart will continue to cover Euro 2024 this summer and is set for some more appearances on TV throughout the tournament.
Maybe a few more viewings of the tattoos will win some fans over…
