Marc Cucurella returned from the World Cup in July not only with a winner’s medal but also with a new piece of body art. The Spanish national team defender kept the promise he made before the tournament started: if “La Roja” won the trophy, he would honor head coach Luis de la Fuente with a tattoo. And that is exactly what happened — at the next national team training camp, the player appeared with the finished portrait of his mentor, turning a personal promise into a public gesture.

Petria Thomas Got a Tattoo After Winning the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

A vivid example of this approach is the recent story involving Petria Thomas, the chef de mission of the Australian team, who decided to immortalize her team’s triumph at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
