Former Manchester City star Joe Hart has two other tattoos that were covered up during BBC’s coverage of England vs Serbia.
On Sunday night, England began their quest for Euro 2024 glory as they took on Serbia at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
Despite a nervy performance, the Three Lions got the job done as Jude Bellingham’s header in the 13th minute sealed a 1-0 victory.

However, all the talk prior to kick-off was about the tattoos on Hart’s arm as he appeared on BBC as a pundit.
Back in 2019, the former England goalkeeper showed off his ‘full armour’ tattoo as he wrote on social media: “You are the man @hanumantra thank you, this is the only time of year I could take this on so I appreciate you fitting me in and smashing it.
“I got my armour on now... let's see what's next. Not everyone's taste I understand that but this definitely represents me and thank you for making it happen.”
Aside from that, Hart also has similar tattoos near his ankle and on his thigh.
Prior to the tournament, Hart spoke about what he wants to bring to fans as a pundit.
He said: “The reason I wanted to get into punditry is to educate people who are interested in goalkeeping, and hopefully I can help people understand the position a bit better.
“I'll be trying my best to do that by giving a goalkeeper's perspective, which can be very different to that of an outfield player. Sometimes when a goal goes in, the analysis you see on TV is about how the keeper should have done better, or has made a mistake.”
England will take on Denmark this week before ending their group stage with a clash against Slovenia.
