Granit Xhaka Tattoos: Does Granit Xhaka have tattoos?
Xhaka has a sizable collection of tattoos on his arms, similar to many football players.
He thought about getting his first tattoo while on vacation with his family and how his mother disapproved while speaking to Arsenal.
The number 34, which served as his squad number while he was at Basel, was the design on his first tattoo.
Since then, he has had numerous additional tattoos, most of which are the names of his loved ones.
One of them refers to him as “Pocho,” which is what his mother used to call him and means nice, handsome boy in Albanian.
Xhaka continued by saying he would never get a tattoo just for fun and that he would only get more if they had something to do with his family, friends, football, or past.
