And with indelible ink: journalist gets Messi's autograph tattooed
Indeleble Field.- A TUDN journalist got a tattoo of Lionel Messi's autograph , in case anyone thought there was a limit to the Gauchos' fanaticism.
That's what Argentine actor Julián Gil did. For this Club World Cup (where, by the way, there are no longer any Argentine teams), he joined the TUDN team and got the Inter Miami player to sign his arm with a marker.
Actor Julián Gil met his idol, @leomessi , who got him to sign an autograph that will now forever be part of his history in a tattoo. 🎉⚽️

“I want your signature tattooed on me, sign it for me. Slowly so it looks good and I can get it tattooed,” Gil says to Lio as they leave the hotel where the powerful MLS squad is staying… which, without qualifying, is playing in the Club World Cup.
The autograph now covers his entire arm.After Lio scratched his arm, the journalist made an appointment with a tattoo artist in Miami to have the Argentine star's signature permanently left on his skin.
With the tattoo now complete, Gil posted the final result, showing the engraving that could easily compete among the worst indelible marks people have ever made in a fit of emotion.

"I've been imagining this moment for years. Yesterday, Messi signed my arm. Today, that signature is a tattoo," wrote the journalist, who surely believes it's normal for his team to receive a penalty every game.
“Thank you, Leo. For so much joy and for giving me strength, my soul… I mean, my arm,” the actor added in his post. He will now have to wear long sleeves whenever he does a scene in a soap opera.
In case you missed it: this was the moment Lilly Téllez's megaphone cable was cut.
