Kyle Walker has opened up about the vast array of tattoos which cover his upper body and insisted that he doesn't regret getting any of them.
Walker has amassed an impressive collection of ink and in a video the Manchester City defender revealed the deeply personal reasons behind each of them.
In an interview with Unscriptd posted to his Instagram, Walker said he stood by his decision to get each of the tattoos because: 'At the time I wanted to do it, so I can't regret it'.

Walker revealed his first tattoo was of 'K. Walker' on his hand with initially just one star
The right back revealed his first ever tattoo was 'K. Walker' on his hand with a star beside it - though he later added a second star after his friends gave him stick for his low rating of himself.
Walker explained the eye tattoo on his forearm was in memory of his late grandfather who introduced him to the sport.
'I got this eye for my grandad who took me to Sheffield United and got me into football, he passed away,' added Walker. 'I got the eye to say that he's always looking down on me and he guides me through a lot'.

Walker then lifted up his shirt to reveal his youngest son's birthday in Roman numerals and the footprint and handprint of his eldest son.
And the 27-year-old then pointed to the tattoo on his shoulder of an angel carrying a baby, which is in tribute to his sister's baby who passed away.
Walker's career took him from hometown club Sheffield United to Tottenham, where he played for eight years before his £54million transfer to City this summer.
He has been included in Gareth Southgate's latest England squad to face Slovenia at Wembley on Thursday before a trip to Lithuania on Sunday in their final World Cup qualifying fixtures.
