Many famous footballers love body painting, aka tattoos, but not Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 – nicknamed Cristiano Ronaldo – does not have a tattoo because he regularly donates blood every year.
Cristiano Ronaldo is known as one of the footballers who is very painstaking in caring for his body. The Portuguese player is active in exercising to keep him physically fit so he can play football until he is 35 years old.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t just care about his health. Cristiano Ronaldo also cares about the health of others. Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo wants to donate his blood to help others.
This noble activity has been carried out by Cristiano Ronaldo for a long time. Cristiano Ronaldo first donated blood when he was 24 years old.
At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo helped the son of his teammate in the Portuguese National Team (Timnas), Carlos Martins, who needed blood and spinal cord donors. Cristiano Ronaldo also donated blood and spinal cord to help Martins’ son.
Since then, Cristiano Ronaldo has routinely donated his blood. This noble activity will be hampered if Cristiano Ronaldo has a tattoo on his body.
Reporting from Hellomagazine, Monday (25/1/2021), according to NGS’s Give Blood organization, donors must wait four months from the date of tattooing or body piercing before donating blood.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly donates blood twice a year. Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo chose not to use tattoos on his body.
“I don’t have a tattoo because I donate blood very often. Blood donation also doesn’t cost anything,” said Cristiano Ronaldo, quoting from Wittyfeed, Monday (25/1/2021).
“It’s a simple process. Then, you feel happy because you know that you have helped others, ”he said.
