Ink-Redible! Thierry Henry gets tattoo sleeve of New York landmarks

Henry's tattoo covers the whole of his left arm
Former Arsenal star Thierry Henry has shown off a brand new tattoo depicting various New York City landmarks on his arm.

The New York Red Bulls striker has revealed the sleeve, which covers his left arm, via tattoo parlour Bang Bang Tattoos Instagram account.

The ink begins at the bottom of Henry's arm with an image of a baby, which could be his daughter Tea, 8, and then evolves into the Statue of Liberty and what appears to be Brooklyn Bridge.

Further up, a red-tinted Empire State Building sits alongside a series of typical New York buildings complete with fire escapes and lit-up windows.

A large angel at the top of Henry's arm, surrounded by the moon and stars, finishes the artwork. Large red letters also run around the striker's elbow joint.

The former Arsenal forward is not the first famous visitor to Bang Bang Tattoos. In recent months the popular parlour have posted images of their work on music superstars Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Adele.

The inclusion of some of New York's most famous landmarks suggests that Henry is enjoying his time in the USA, after signing for New York Red Bulls in the summer of 2010 from Barcelona.

The 35-year-old was named his side's Most Valuable Player last season and earned a second consecutive spot as an MLS All-Star.
