No, FIFA 23‘s Player Career Mode Does Not Have Tattoos
Unlike Pro Clubs which introduced body ink customization this year, tattoos are still not an option for aspiring stars in FIFA 23‘s solo career. But with fan demand evident, the feature could arrive in future installments.
Key Takeaways:
- Pro Clubs has tattoos – Career Mode does not
- Real-life players have accurate tattoos in FIFA 23
- Many fans requesting tattoos for future Career Modes
- Could improve immersion as your player progresses
Ever dreamed of rising from young prospect to bearded talisman dripping in ink? Like David Beckham or Zlatan Ibrahimovic evolving their iconic looks over time?
Unfortunately that blistering dagger tattoo down your virtual pro‘s neck remains just a pipe dream in FIFA 23‘s player Career Mode.
“We want tattoos!” pleadscmstargazr233 on Reddit. The lack of body art customization frustrated many budding superstars.

So why no player tattoos if they exist elsewhere?
In FIFA 23 Pro Clubs, tattoos can be applied to give your custom player more personality. There is decent variety too – sleeves, necks, behind the ear.
But this perk is missing from the solo career experience where you control just one rising footballer. No chance to gradually craft tattoos befitting their growing legend status.
Some fans argue this deprives career mode of deeper immersion. Just like real footballers evolve tattoos marking milestones, so too should our virtual pros.

Do real footballers have tattoos in FIFA 23?
Absolutely. Star players like Neymar Jr and Memphis Depay boast faithfully recreated body ink – arms, torsos and necks etched intricately.
So FIFA 23 has the capacity for highly detailed tattoos already built-in. Expanding this to career could make your journey to stardom feel more life-like.
What are fans saying about career mode tattoos?
The community is speaking out loud and clear! Reddit and Twitter posts urge EA Sports to enable tattoos in future career installment.
“@EASPORTSFIFA can we please get tattoos on our pro in #FIFA23 career mode?,” tweets @JamieMiley7.
FCG on Twitter even mocked the bizarre situation of body ink omission:

Judging by overwhelming fan response, could tattoos arrive in FIFA 24 career? We can hope so!
The Case For Career Mode Tattoos
- Customization – Tattoos would expand the career editing options
- Identity – Provides another way to put your personal stamp
- Progression – Mark milestones like trophies or caps earned
- Engagement – Players invest more in a unique character
- Immersion – Mirrors real football progression over years
Some worry tattoos could enable explicit or offensive content. Fair point, but safeguards like reporting could counter abuse.
With FIFA 23 sales set to smash records, and a third of adults under 35 tattooed… the appeal is massive!
The Bottom Line
Player Career Mode currently lacks tattoos unlike Pro Clubs. But from fans to features, the stars may align for fresh ink in FIFA 24! Fingers crossed EA Sports listens and we can finally craft truly unique superstars.
Over to you EA!
