When you donate blood and bone marrow to kids, tottoos should be the last thing on your mind!

FIFA Ballon D'or recipient Cristiano Ronaldo has no tattoos and here's the reason why!

The football star says his efforts to help children conquer debilitating diseases by donating his blood leaves him no choice but to go ink-less.

"I don’t have tattoos because I donate blood very often," he said, while also taking the time to share a photo on his Facebook page that showed him donating at a hospital. According to Diretta News, he donates twice a year.

That doesn't end there. The Real Madrid FC sportsman also donates bone marrows to kids inspired by a teammate's son's struggles.

In a recent interview with Spanish radio, Cadena Cope, Ronaldo revealed his course towards helping children with his bone marrow

"It was the time when Carlos [Martins] was with us on the national team. He told us about the problem with his son and we, the players, showed great unity to help him and his son because we knew it was a very complicated situation.' Donating bone marrow 'is something a lot of people think is a difficult thing to do but it’s nothing more than drawing blood and doesn't hurt.’ "It doesn’t cost anything," he added. "It’s a simple process and then you feel happy because you know you are helping another person." He said.
