#2 His aversion to tattoos
Trending
Following the footsteps of his Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale has admitted that he would never consider getting a tattoo, but for entirely different reasons compared to his teammate.
Ronaldo has abstained from getting inked because he’s a regular blood donor, and it’s a cause he’s widely supported over the course of his career. The Welshman, on the other hand, felt that he could never get a tattoo or wear over-the-top jewellery because of his father Frank, who is a school caretaker. He, however, did admit to giving his dad a shock by once wearing magnetic earrings for a family dinner back home in Cardiff.
“My dad walked in and I swear I thought he was going to kill me,” said Bale. “He looked at me with such disgust. I thought, ‘Oh my God!’ My mate was in and he felt proper awkward.”
Looks like even when you’re a millionaire, there are some lines you simply cannot cross in the Bale household.
