Thankfully Josh Caddy puts a bit more thought into his footy than he does with his tattoos.
The Richmond star was a guest on The Footy Show last night and explained the motivation behind a bizarre tattoo on his lower left leg.
The artwork is of Instagram model and beauty blogger Marina Laswick, who Caddy liked the look of enough online to get inked on his body for eternity. The pair are now literally inseparable.
“It’s just an Insta famous chick that I went and got a tattoo of,” Caddy said. “I went to Richmond, I had to fit in.”
And what does Caddy’s girlfriend have to say about his tatt?
“She hasn’t said much about it. She’s probably not happy,” he said. “I like it but I don’t think I’ll get any more.
Footy Show host Neroli Meadows said what every viewer at home was thinking when she pressed Caddy on why Laswick — who has more than 700,000 Instagram followers — won out over every other subject. Of all the possibilities, why her?“What actually goes through your mind before you get a foot-long tattoo on your leg of a complete and utter stranger, an Instagram model?” Meadows asked.
Caddy replied: “Probably not much. Looking back now, probably not much.
Asked if he'd sent the model a photo of his tribute, Caddy said: “She’s a bit out of my league, she’s over in America.
“I’m very happy with my girlfriend. She’ll be home watching.”
