Ivan-Zaytsev
An Italian Men’s Volleyball superstar Ivan Zaytsev dedicated his latest tattoo to his personal sponsor „Red Bull“ (the most popular energy drink in the world), by putting their logo on his right forearm.
He has done it due to the fact that Italian Volleyball League Serie A1 recently banned commercial sleeved undershirts. Since Zaytsev was wearing this logo on the sleeves, he had to find the new way to make his sponsor visible.
Zaytsev debuted with the „Red Bull“ sign on his forearm in Round 8 match of his team Sir Safety Conad Perugia and Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia, nine days ago, and kept it for the big derby against Cucine Lube Civitanova, two days ago.
The tattoo is a temporary one but in case he decides to keep it for international matches with an Italian National Team (if he gets summoned again after being expelled due to an issue with his footwear, this summer), he might face a ban from the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) since no tattoos of this kind are allowed under their game rules.
