How big a fan of Lionel Messi are you?
Chances are, the answer is that you don't even come close.
Would you get a Lionel Messi tattoo on your back?
Well, this superfan did.
Mr Hernan Baigoria tattooed the Lionel Messi's name and shirt number on his back. Complete with in Argentina's sky blue.
He then tracked down the Argentine superstar on some dark road (stalker alert!) to show him the the tattoo.
Of course the whole moment was captured on video and uploaded on YouTube, aptly titled, "The passion for Messi shows no bounds".
The Argentine superstar took one long look at it with a wide grin plastered on his face, smiled for the camera, posed for pictures with the guy and then signed some random things that Mr Baigoria and his companions handed him.
Mr Baigoria's twitter account, @HernanBaigoria showed that he uploaded a photo with an outline of the tattoo on June 17 this year.

He then uploaded the completed tattoo on his twitter account on July 6, a day after Argentina beat Belgium to move to the semi-finals of the World Cup.

In fact, his twitter account seems to be an online shrine dedicated to Messi, not that Messi minds judging from his smiling face in the video.
So the next time someone says that they are a big fan of Lionel Messi, ask them if they are as big as Mr Baigoria.
