Marko Arnautovic’s tattoos cover his chest, abdomen, arms and hands, with newer reporting mentioning a neck phrase. Football photographs reveal different sections depending on his kit and pose. Bild, Corriere della Sera and Austrian coverage add context for the phrases and family references he has shared.
Marko Arnautovic torso tattoos after a West Ham match
A post-match West Ham photo shows Arnautovic shirtless, with “Emilia” across his upper chest and a larger line across the abdomen, usually read as “If you can DREAM it you can do it.” Shaded work also covers the arms. His posture turns the shoulders unevenly, so the image gives an overall view rather than a full catalogue.
Marko Arnautovic forearm tattoos in a raised-arm celebration
A second West Ham celebration frame shows his arms raised, exposing script and symbols along the forearms and hands. Coverage has identified Arabic writing, “la vie continue” and “only God can judge me.” Small letters bend around the arm, so the photograph supports their placement more clearly than a precise transcription.
Marko Arnautovic arm tattoos in a close national-team portrait
In a close Austria portrait, Arnautovic clasps his hands in front of the national-team shirt. Both forearms angle toward the camera, making smaller script and shaded marks easier to distinguish. The mix of sizes and line weights suggests the work accumulated over time, though this frame cannot date individual pieces.
Marko Arnautovic abdomen tattoo in a Stoke City match
An ESPN match photo from Arnautovic’s Stoke City period shows him lifting his shirt in the rain. The abdomen phrase is visible, beginning “If you dream…”, but the whole line is not equally clear. The image shows that the torso lettering was already present during his Stoke years; it does not settle the exact wording beyond the readable section.
Marko Arnautovic sleeve tattoos in a crossed-arm portrait
A West Ham arrival portrait shows Arnautovic with his arms crossed over his shirt. The forearms overlap, making the shaded bands and script read as one shape before their separate paths become clear. It offers another angle on the same broad arm coverage, with a different pose from the raised-arm frame.
What the documented phrases and family references show
Bild reports the personal phrases and family references on Arnautovic’s arms, including “Emilia” across the chest and motivational wording on the torso. Corriere della Sera has also described parts of the collection. The reports identify some words and context, but do not establish the meaning, artist and date of every visible tattoo.
After joining Red Star Belgrade, he was reported to have added “Luck follows the brave” around his neck. That belongs to a later chapter than the older forearm and torso photos here.
How the collection changes with the football setting
Each football setting reveals different surfaces. A shirtless post-match frame shows chest and abdomen; raised arms expose the hands and forearms; the Stoke shirt-lift catches a section normally hidden by the kit. The images are distinct moments, not alternate copies of one pose.
A career sequence from Stoke to Inter
The Stoke photograph shows the torso phrase in an earlier club period. West Ham and Austria frames give different views of the arms; later Inter and Red Star coverage adds newer contexts. A club change or different haircut can help place a photo, but the body locations are the more reliable guide when comparing the tattoos.
What remains uncertain about the designs
There is no dependable public list of every design, artist and date. Some script is too small to read, and a match image may hide the edge of a larger piece. The sources support extensive arm coverage, the chest name and abdomen phrase, and newer neck lettering; other marks are best described by appearance and placement.
How to read the photographs together
The West Ham shirtless image gives the overall torso view. The celebration and Austria portraits help compare arm lettering, while the Stoke frame shows the abdomen phrase in an earlier setting. Read each photo for the surface it reveals, and use named reporting for the words or personal context.
Closing perspective on Arnautovic’s football years
Arnautovic’s tattoos have been photographed across club, country and match settings. His most readable phrases include the family-linked “Emilia,” the abdomen motto and reported neck wording; much of the smaller work remains untranscribed. The interview below is from his return to Inter.
