Soccer Player Diego Maradona Totally Stole The Idea For Our Next Tattoo

Argentine soccer legend [Ed. note: Actually, we don't know anything about soccer, except that David Beckham looks great shirtless. But "legend" sounds good, no?] Diego Maradona is getting Hugo Chavez’s ruggedly handsome visage tattooed on his flesh:

“I’d like to get some sort of Chavez tattoo, really,” Maradona told reporters on Wednesday ahead of a celebrity indoor football match.

Maradona has a tattoo of Argentine-born revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara on his right shoulder and another of Cuban leader Fidel Castro on his left leg.

Maradona, considered by many the best football player of all time, lived several years in Cuba while recovering from drug addiction. There he made friends with Castro, who is a close ally of Chavez.

Will Chavez wiggle his ears when Maradona flexes? Or look back coyly over his shoulder from his permanent perch on Maradona’s lower back? God, we’re so jealous.
