The shocking reason why football star, Cristiano Ronaldo refused to get a tattoo has been revealed. Where many footballers use their hard-earned cash to draw tattoos on their skin the Real Madrid forward has refrained because he regularly donates blood, it is believed.


The Portugal captain, who isn’t shy in showing off his physique, has kept his body in impeccable condition over the years which has also helped with his performances on the pitch.

Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken of his desire to donate blood on more than one occasion, and in 2015 he told Eurosport:

       “We can all make a difference by donating            blood. Each donation can benefit up to three        people in emergency situations and for long-        term medical treatments.” “That’s why I am          enthusiastic, to the importance of blood                  donation and to encourage people around            the world to become lifelong blood donors            and help save lives.”

The 33-year-old also tweeted on June 13 and December 30, 2017, raising awareness for donating blood.
According to Give Blood, donors who get tattoos must wait four months after getting inked before doing so.
And Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t just stop at blood, he’s a bone marrow donor too.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner decided to make the call after Carlos Martins’ son fell ill.

Nice one champ!
