Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart has decided to treat himself during the summer break by taking a trip to the tattoo parlour.
But the 32-year-old's choice of tattoo has got everyone talking after he revealed the bizarre piece of inkwork on his Instagram account on Monday.
Hart, who thanked the artist Hanu Mantra for the work, uploaded two pictures of a bold new black body armour tattoo, which covers his right shoulder and upper arm.
Alongside the unusual tattoo pictures, Hart did acknowledge that not everyone would like it but insisted it 'represents' him.
Hart captioned his post: '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.'
The former England and Manchester City star has similar full-black tattoos around his wrists and shins.
Hart appears to be keeping himself occupied during the summer break as he gets ready for the 2019-20 season.

What most players don't know about Tattoos is, they not only affect their blood, but a tattoo also prevents Injuries from healing quickly and prolongs them, look at neymar for example and then take a look at CR7
