Barcelona forward Lionel Messi might also be the world's best tattoo artist

Some surprising photos have emerged of Lionel Messi on Sunday alongside the man who does his tattoos in Barcelona, Roberto Lopez. 

In the images, Messi is demonstrating his ability to tattoo. 

Barça's No.10 has slowly filled up his own body with tattoos, and now he has tattooed his autograph on Lopez's wrist. 

"It is the best autograph in the world," Roberto Lopez said according to the Twitter account @leomessifanclub. 

Thoughout the series of photographs you can see Messi doing the tattoo on Lopez's right wrist, then you can see the result at the end. 

And the result is the number "10", the shirt number which Messi wears for Barça and Argentina. 

The photographs were originally published on Roberto Lopez's Facebook page and it's thought they were taken on April 7.
