Tattoo artist: I don’t think I was betrayed by Spalletti, getting a tattoo does not mean staying in Naples forever

November 1 News Juventus’ new coach Luciano Spalletti took office this week. He has a tattoo commemorating Naples’ championship on his left arm. Valentino Russo, who originally tattooed Spalletti, was interviewed.

Please tell me about this famous tattoo

It's very simple. My friend Di Lorenzo called me and said that Coach Spalletti wanted to get a tattoo that I just made for Di Lorenzo. You know, the kind with the Naples team emblem. At first I thought it was a little strange that this was his first tattoo. I'm a Napoli fan, you understand? This obviously excited me and made my hands shake a little, even though I've been tattooing for many years. We had dinner together afterwards, happy, relaxed, and proud of something bigger than ourselves.

You have tattooed half of the team after Naples won the championship, and you have also tattooed some other famous stars.

I also have many tattoos myself. I've always thought tattoos were meant to capture a special moment. People change all the time in life and you can't stand still. Just because you have a Naples tattoo doesn't mean you have to stay in Naples for the rest of your life. It's like feelings, what's left is the emotion, not necessarily the specific situation.

So, despite all the controversy surrounding Spalletti's tattoos these days, I don't feel betrayed by your choice to take it lightly. If I had the choice I would still tattoo him. Spalletti made history in Naples, that Serie A title was a dream, and that tattoo was the symbol of the championship. But now he's been invited to coach another team, and rightly so. I wish him good luck this season and, of course, I hope Napoli wins in the end, not Juve.

After all, a tattoo is not the same as a vow.

A tattoo is like a mark of time, commemorating a happy episode. At that moment in May 2023, under the songs, tears, and the blue sky of Maradona's stadium, we engraved it all on the skin and hearts of all Neapolitans.
