Hubei's Wang Xiaoli's tattoo was a source of talking point in China today Jiangsu's Wang Shi Xian still dons natural beauty despite her advanced age. She has also inked herself with a small tattoo.
Either he still hasn't got over the WC loss, or he's confident of beating a relative unknown and started slow, just guessing.
Such tattoos, Wang Xiaoli's, never appeal to me, Wang Shixian's not that prominent, fine by me. WSX still looks good, really miss her.
