What is it with obsessive football fans feeling the need to get their favourite club or player permanently etched into their skin?

Roma legend Francesco Totti is no stranger to being the subject of the odd fan tattoo here and there. Only last year, his decision to take a selfie after scoring against Lazio in the Rome derby inspired one AS Roma fan to get the image of his celebration inked into his forearm. https://twitter.com/FootbalIStuff/status/555465301484404736 Now, the 39-year-old has had the opportunity to meet the owner of one of the more recent Totti tats. According to James Horncastle, the Italian pointed out that although it was perhaps a little too big, it was still great. The tattoo's Swedish owner also decided to get Rome's colosseum needled on to his skin as the backdrop for the image of Totti. https://twitter.com/jameshorncastle/status/726098227490119680 Snapchat
