Given how many he is covered in, it is fair to say that Tim Howard is a fan of tattoos, but now the Everton keeper has revealed he also likes doing them himselves.

Howard was in goal for Everton's opening day draw with newly promoted Watford, but shook off the disappointment of letting in two goals to show off one of his hobbies on social media.

The American international posted a photo on Twitter of himself tattooing someone's ankle with the caption: "#Hobbies #InkGang #ThanksSam."

Given some of the criticism Howard attracted for his goalkeeping last season, you'd have to hope he showed steadier hands while using the tattoo gun.
