Lionel Messi’s biggest fan Suzy Cortez has broken the world record for tattoos of the PSG and Argentina star.
Cortez, who’s a former winner of Brazil’s Miss BumBum contest, has long supported Messi in everything he’s done. There’s no doubting her dedication to the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, as she’s now been inked eight times in his honour.
The latest tat she’s received is of Messi’s signature, the No. 10 from his national team kit, and the three stars he and his international team-mates now don following their World Cup triumph in Qatar last year, earning her a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

She exclusively revealed her plans for a “super tattoo” to Daily Star Sport back in December, prior to Argentina’s triumph over France in the final.
The Messi-mad model said: “My promise is to get a super tattoo and I’m going to celebrate the title in the city of Rosario where Messi was born and I’m going to draw some Messi fans on my social networks that I’m going to take with me.”
Cortez has previously vowed to get identical ink to Messi’s leg tattoo of a ball and the number 10. Among her current tattoos is one of him intimately located on her abdomen.
Speaking about it in 2021, she claimed it had made men “fail” in the past. “Incredibly, I’ve been through embarrassing situations because of the tattoo,” Cortez explained.
“Looking at Messi’s face on my body makes men fail at the right time. I already have Messi’s face tattooed under my abdomen, which I did when he won the best player in the world award (Ballon d’Or) for the sixth time, and I intend to get the same tattoo he has on his left leg.”
While he can do no wrong in her eyes, Messi received boos and whistles from his own fans during PSG’s 1-0 defeat at home to Lyon at the weekend amid his ongoing contract talks.
