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.
