IShowSpeed has definitely elevated from being the ultimate Cristiano Ronaldo fanboy to one of the most successful streamers/influencers in the world.
The American streamer recently concluded a chaotic tour of the South-East Asian countries, which helped him surpass 32 million subscribers on his YouTube.
His live stream videos of him visiting different countries got millions of views. He even broke a YouTube record for having over 1 million views watching live during his tour of Indonesia.
Even though the streams were utterly chaotic with thousands of fans almost always surrounding him, Speed still had a lot of fun and created some memorable moments interacting with different people.
He also ended up getting a brand new tattoo during his tour of South-East Asia.
Speed opened up on his love for the popular Anime ‘One Piece’ and it looks like he commemorated his adoration with a brand new body art.
In one of his final streams before leaving Asia, Speed was able to reveal a One Piece inspired tattoo he recently got inked into his body. This design is actually that of the Luffy Gear Five version of the protagonist (Luffy) of the anime.
This transformation is considered as Luffy’s strongest form, as it helps him enter into this cartoon mode where he’s immune to any damage and can also deal an insane amount of damage to his opponent.
Speed probably got this new tattoo done in his tour of the South East Asian country, probably as a memorabilia to how amazing his experience was.
Speed is earning a lot of fanfare for the impressive design and execution of this One Piece tattoo.
The way it shows Luffy’s transformation and the Luffy Gear 5 form has impressed many people and probably earned him even more affection from some of his fans.
This isn’t the first time that Speed has done a tattoo inked to his skin.
He’s well known for having a number of different tattoos, including one of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.
Last year, Speed decided to get a portrait tattoo of Ronaldo wearing a Portugal kit by a relatively amateur-ish artist in his country.
The execution, to say it lightly, wasn’t really that impressive at all.
The Ronaldo tattoo on his hand doesn’t exactly resemble the Portugal legend, with the jaw line of the forward and his hairline being quite messed up in this design.
Hilariously, Ronaldo isn’t the only footballer whose tattoo Speed has on his body.
Even though he loathes Lionel Messi and starts shouting at anyone who says Messi is better than his idol Ronaldo, Speed actually has a Messi tattoo on his arm too.
A few years ago, some fans were able to discover a ‘Messi 10’ tattoo that is in the inside of his right arm.
The design is quite simple in this one, just having the word ‘Messi’ and ‘10’ imprinted over somewhat of a blue color resembling the Argentina national team jersey.
Speed was probably forced to get this tattoo after losing a bet or a challenge, and has tried his best to hide it from people ever since.
The American influencer also has a hilarious large tattoo of the character ‘Talking Ben’, which is basically an animated dog who can talk.
Talking Ben is a popular character that was created many years ago for people to ‘interact’ with online.
Basically, the character has some short responses to queries that people ask him, be it on a mobile phone or a PC version.
Speed has had some hilarious streams over the years where he’s asked Talking Ben some strange questions and gotten some funny answers.
As a way to remember the animated dog, Speed actually ended up getting a Talking Ben tattoo on his arm. It’s a pretty large design that captures the entire face of the animal and even the word ‘BEN’ is written in large fonts in the lower section of the tattoo.
Speed’s recent South-East Asia tour proved that he’s only getting more and more popular with people around the world.
Considering how even his tattoos are receiving viral responses on social media, he’ll probably get even more wacky art inked into his body going forward.
