Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese soccer superstar, is one of the world’s most famous sportspersons. He has hundreds of millions of admirers all across the world, and his 532 million Instagram followers are proof of it. Among his ardent followers is also the American streaming sensation IShowSpeed.
The 17-year-old is a prominent content creator known for his upbeat nature on livestreams. However, he has recently become well-known for his passion for soccer. Speed even traveled to Qatar to watch and stream the FIFA World Cup. Speed’s deep affection for soccer stemmed from his admiration for former Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s done some weird things to display his love for the player. Recently, IShowSpeed got a Ronaldo tattoo!

This American streamer has gone on to tremendous lengths to establish himself as the most ardent Ronaldo fan. He even made a song called “Ronald [Sewey]” devoted to the Portuguese star; the clip also has over 28 million views. He even flew to Manchester and Qatar to watch his idol live on the field.
But what Speed did recently to show his affection for Ronaldo was simply unexpected. The 17-year-old recently posted a picture on Twitter where he had the likeness of CR7 tattooed on his arm. Speed is no stranger to having tattoos, but no one anticipated him to get a Ronaldo-inspired tattoo.

IShowSpeed didn’t make any statement about the tattoo in the caption. So it begs the question of whether it is permanent or not. However, the streamer himself might soon answer this query on stream. Whatever the case may be, the 17-year-old made a daring move in displaying his love for the Portuguese soccer star.
Twitter found the tattoo funny
Despite it being a big move by IShowSpeed to prove himself a Ronaldo admirer, it received a lot of criticism from fans. The reason for it is the tattoo itself, as it doesn’t resemble the soccer player at all. Instead, they believe it resembles the poorly built Ronaldo statue or the player’s doppelganger with whom Speed once collaborated.
