Barcelona superstar Neymar has added to his ever growing collection of body art by having a religion-themed tattoo inked across both of his legs.

The Brazilian ace took to social media this week to share his new artistic creation with the online world.

Neymar is no stranger when it comes to tattoos, having over ten emblazoned in different areas upon his body.

The 24-year-old gave his 60.7million Instagram followers a glimpse at his latest design by posting an image to the picture sharing site.

With a simple caption alongside the photo Neymar wrote in Portuguese 'Boa Semana a todos / Good week to everyone.'

The new tattoo can be seen to be spread across both shins of the Brazilian icon and features a series of words in contrasting fonts.

Once translated Neymar's latest inked design carries religious connotations, reading: ‘God bless you and protect me.’

The recent addition to the striker's collection of body art adds to the several other designs he has about his person.

 

From his neck through both arms and now down to his lower legs, the Barca ace is slowly becoming covered from head to toe in designs.

On the pitch the number 11 is enjoying a successful season so far for Barcelona, having scored five goals in nine games with eight assists along the way.

Neymar featured for the full 90 minutes in the Spanish giants's recent 4-0 win at home to Deportivo La Coruna, but could not find the back of the net himself.

Barca emerged comfortable victors after Rafinha bagged a brace and Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi were on target - the latter making his eagerly awaited return following a three weeks injury lay-off.

Neymar will now get the chance to showcase his new tattoo in person when he steps out at the Nou Camp to face Manchester City.

The Catalan giants are set to host Pep Guardiola's side this week as the two teams come head-to-head in Champions League Group C.

Barca currently lead the way in the group with six points from two matches.

City are hot on their tail but have racked up only four points so far this campaign after being held to a 3-3 draw at Parkhead against Scottish champions Celtic in their last outing.
