‘Crazy’ Mario Balotelli Fan Tattoos Player’S Name, Number On Back

Mario Balotelli hasn’t played much soccer in recent months, but the devotion of at least one of his fans hasn’t diminished.

A Balotelli fan tattooed the Italian’s name and number on his own back. After seeing a photo of the tribute with his own eyes, Balotelli shared it and asked Instagram user haza3f the question on everyone’s mind.

@haza3f THANK YOU for the support but don't you think is a bit crazy?

Balotelli, 25, joined AC Milan from Liverpool last summer on a season-long loan. Injuries have limited Balotelli to just five games, but he has regained his fitness and now is expected to feature heavily for AC Milan in the last four-and-a-half months of the season.

Meanwhile, the Balotelli superfan should be concerned about one thing above all else: When one of soccer’s biggest mavericks wonders whether he has gone mad, he probably already has gone over the edge.
