My tattoos with Jürgen Locadia

At the end of the summer transfer window, TSG signed Jürgen Locadia. Not only did the club get a top-class striker; they also got a constantly evolving work of art. The 25-year-old's torso is almost completely covered in tattoos - countless images, quotations and memories are etched across his skin. Interviewed by SPIELFELD magazine, the Dutch goalscorer discussed his favourite tattoos and what each of them means to him.

What is so special about your favourite tattoo?

''It's the face of my grandmother. I was more or less raised in her house, as my mum always had to work such long hours. My grandmother looked after me so much in my childhood. I was obviously devastated after her death so decided to get a tattoo on my arm in order to commemorate her.''

How old were you when you got your first tattoo?

''I think I must have been 15. I got a tattoo of the lyrics to the song that played at my grandmother's funeral.''

Any idea what your next one will be?

''I have no idea. I have tattoos on pretty much my whole body now. (laughs). I probably wouldn't ever get one on my face - but who knows, maybe I'll change my mind on that one day.'' (laughs)

Are there any celebrities or athletes whose tattoos you particularly like?

''I like the tattoos that the musicians Chris Brown and Tyga have. I also think the tattoo my former teammate Memphis Depay (now at Lyon) has on his back is amazing.''
