Thierry Henry, a football legend whose career spanned Paris, London, and Barcelona, has unveiled a new tattoo sleeve that pays homage to his current home, New York City. The Red Bulls striker, known for his iconic playing style, revealed the intricate design, which covers his entire left arm.
The tattoo sleeve features iconic landmarks such as the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty, along with a vibrant New York street scene. These elements reflect Henry’s deep connection to the city that has become central to his life post-retirement.
In addition to the cityscape, the design includes a heartfelt tribute to his daughter, Tea, with an image of a baby on his forearm. At the top of his arm, an angel surrounded by stars adds a personal and spiritual touch to the piece.
The 35-year-old World Cup winner chose Bang Bang NYC, a renowned tattoo studio known for inking high-profile celebrities including Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Adele. While these stars are also known for their fame, none have the distinction of winning a World Cup.
The sleeve, which likely took several hours and multiple sessions to complete, marks another personal milestone in Henry’s life and a testament to his lasting bond with the vibrant city of New York.
