Brazilian Miss BumBum star Suzy Cortez has vowed to get a new Lionel Messi tattoo after already having his face tattooed above her nether regions.
Cortez, 31, who hails from the Brazilian city of Campinas, is well-known for her love for FC Barcelona and the club’s talisman Lionel Messi.
The curvy model won the national Miss BumBum pageant in 2015 and the Miss BumBum World contest at the end of 2019, and already has Messi’s name and shirt number tattooed above her bum as well as the Argentine superstar’s face above her nether regions.
She has now revealed that she plans to copy the football star’s elaborate tattoo on his lower left leg.
The Brazilian stunner, who recently posted saucy images of her wearing an Argentina shirt ahead of their 1-0 win over Paraguay in the Copa America, said: “I already have Messi’s face tattooed under my abdomen, which I did when he won the best player in the world award (Ballon d’Or) for the sixth time, and I intend to get the same tattoo he has on his left leg.”
Cortez, who reportedly travelled to Rio de Janeiro recently to try to gift her used bathwater to Messi, added: “My history with Barcelona started when I went there on an exchange programme and ended up staying there for six years. It was there that my love for the Barcelona team and Messi began.”
The former Miss BumBum got in hot water with Messi’s partner Antonela Roccuzzo back in 2016 for allegedly sending the Argentine footballer some saucy snaps.
Discussing the incident, Cortez explained: “To this day, people still ask me about that controversy, but I don’t actually know what happened.
“I think it was out of jealousy that she (Roccuzzo) blocked me and entered his (Messi’s) account and blocked me there too.
“It has now been a couple of years since he unblocked me, but I never sent him any nude pictures. I admire Messi as a player, but he is not my type to date.”
When asked about Messi being compared to other greats such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, Cortez said: “I think the comparisons are ridiculous. Neymar is a great player, but he will never reach the heights Messi has reached.
“Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, is just a slightly improved Tulio Maravilha (former Brazilian forward). Messi can only be compared with Pele and Cruyff, my other Barcelona idol.”
With regards to rumours that Messi could leave the club he has spent his professional career at, Cortez said: “I’m sure he’ll renew with Barcelona with the arrival of Aguero.”
