Footballer Andre Horta gets tattoo of Nadal's face

Published Dec 18, 2018

Andre Horta is not the first fan to get a Rafael Nadal tattoo, but he may be the most famous. The 22-year-old is a Portuguese professional football player, currently representing Los Angeles FC.

He's idolizes Nadal and visited him at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca this week.

Horta joins a unique crew of Nadal fans that have inked either his resemblance or his Nike bull logo on their bodies. In Toronto, one man earned viral fame for getting Nadal's autograph tattooed on his arm right beside his bull tattoo.

Nadal will be meeting more of his super fans when the 2019 season gets underway in less than two weeks. He's scheduled to play the Mubadala World Tennis Championships in Abu Dhabi starting on Dec. 27.
