West Ham keeper Joe Hart shows off new tattoo

West Ham´s new goalkeeper Joe Hart has got a new tatto and it strikes a strong resemblance to Paulo Dybala´s armband tattoo.

Hart has become the latest footballer to get an armband tattoo with players like Dybala, Sergio Ramos, Oscar, Wesley Sneijder, Alejandro Gomez and Stefano Sturaro all sporting similar designs.

The England international revealed his new tattoo to his followers on his official account on Wednesday. 

His caption read: "Great to go back to Shrewsbury and get some world class body art."

The meaning behind the tattoo is yet unknown but the assertive goalkeeper always wears his heart on his sleeve and has been a leader for many years. 

With Mark Noble, long-time Hammers fan and academy graduate, currently captaining the side it is unlikely that Hart will be wearing the armband anytime soon, so maybe this was a way to obtain an armband of his own.

However, Juventus forward Dybala admitted that he chose the armband design purely for aesthetic reasons.

"I did it because I liked it. A team mate had the same tattoo and I liked its aesthetic. It is similar to the bracelets used by the ancient Romans for war, but I did it for the aesthetic reasons, rather than for whatever meaning it may have," he told an Argentinian magazine. 

West Ham head to the Saint Mary´s Stadium next to face Southampton and Slaven Bilic will be hoping for a positive result after their comprehensive defeat to Manchester United on the opening day.
