Supporter has 'England Euro 2024 Winners' tattooed on leg

Dan Thomas, 29, from Swindon in Wiltshire, believes the Three Lions will win the coveted title and defeat Spain in Berlin later today and marked his confidence with a tattoo.

The data consultant spent two and a half hours getting the UEFA European Championship trophy tattooed on his leg at the Reign Barbers and Tattoos parlour in Swindon on Thursday – the day after England defeated the Netherlands securing their place in the final.

“I thought (England) would get far, so it’s come as no shock,” he told the PA news agency.

“I think it will be close and I think it will be 1-1, but go to extra time. I think we’ll win 2-1 at extra time.”

“I went into the studio and just said it would be great to have (the tattoo). I was joking, but then I thought, ‘actually, no, I’m really confident I’m going to get it done’ so it was a spur of the moment, last minute thing,” he said.

“My tattooist has already told me that as a punishment if they do lose then he’s not going to cover it up for at least a year.”
