However, the influencer is now regretting the ‘Messi’ tattoo. “I regret having done the tattoo because instead of bringing me positive things, it’s led to lots of negative things, both personally and for my family. I didn’t think I’d be saying this so soon and I felt very proud of what I’d done in the first few days, but I now wish I hadn’t done it,” he shared in Spanish in the video, reported Metro.
Mike Jambs is receiving mixed reviews on social media sites because most people disagree with his decision.
“How far people go for the hunger of “fame” putting together this whole circus and the worst thing is that there are people who believe,” commented a user in Spanish.
“How you’re going to regret having the greatest of all time. Don’t say that bro,” said another.
