Viral tattoos of Vinicius and ‘Lefty Michael Jordan’: which athletes appear and who is the one smiling with glasses

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior’s new tattoo has caused quite a bit of controversy online as it reads “Lefty Michael Jordan.” The Brazilian striker’s stunning drawing on his back has caused quite a stir on social networks. There’s also a mystery: who is the smiling man with glasses on the upper left side of the football player’s back?

Vinicius and ‘Lefty Michael Jordan’ tattoo controversy: which athletes appear and who is the one smiling with glasses

Michael Jordan is depicted as left-handed in Vinicius’ giant tattoo. In fact, the former USA Basketball player is right-handed, but in the image that “Vini” chose to tattoo, “23” is thrown with his left hand. Although he placed it on the right, it was the left that was in charge.

This is the detail that caused the most controversy on social networks. Some users criticized the Brazilian for not bothering to check whether Jordan was left- or right-handed. Others defended Madrid’s “7”, ensuring the tattoo was merely an artistic expression and did not have to be true to reality. Others remember Jordan throwing with his left hand on many occasions. Others even talk about the “mirror effect” of the photo, but the reality is that this piece of art creates a lot of noise.

This tattoo, done by artist Gangsta Tattoo, is spectacular. No matter where you look. At the bottom you can see Michael Jordan (basketball) striking one of his most iconic poses, with the ball in hand and arms outstretched. The picture above is Pele celebrating a goal with the Brazilian team. In the middle, Kobe Bryant (basketball) and Muhammad Ali (boxing) appeared at important moments in their careers.

What no one can argue is that everything Vinicius does generates huge interest on social networks.
