You can wear your heart on your sleeve, or your missed goal on your back.


There are a lot of reasons why people get tattoos. Maybe it’s for self-expression, a way to show people your personal likes and beliefs. Perhaps it’s to remember a good moment in your life, or sometimes it’s to honor a horrible one.
That’s what happened with Mauricio Pinilla. The 30-year-old Chilean striker whose last-second shot drifted a few inches too high against Brazil, ultimately sending the game to extra time where Chile eventually lost in a shootout.
Don’t beat yourself up too much, pal.
