Saudi Arabia is one of the most conservative countries in the Muslim world, and according to one of the country's most respected clerics, Nayimi Sheik Mohammed, Saudi law prohibits tattoos, no matter what their form, and every player has to abide with these rules.
The cleric went on to stress the importance of respecting the status of "Sharia" (Islamic law) and that the tattoos must be covered at all times.
Pino, who plays in the Saudi league, has expressed "deep sorrow" for his actions and said he respects the laws of the country. He was released from custody when a team delegate arrived and discussed the matter with the police.

I would never go to Saudi Arabia ever. Saudi moral police are so creepy.
No matter what they paid you, Brixter?
money isnt everything....you cant put a price on freedom: P
So, e, you wouldn't spend for example a year in Saudi Arabia no matter what they paid you? You wouldn't sacrifice your freedom for a year even if it made you fabulously wealthy? Money isn't everything, sure, but then money can buy nearly everything. A selfless person could even use all the fruits of his or her temporary sacrifice to better the world and help other people for the rest of his or her life.
What god or diety demands such harsh laws....wtf is that god scared of ? ....the people giving their prayers to another diety...only the insecure get jealous and impose limits like that...I know a few men who impose similar limitations on their partners....just shows how insecure the guys are....this so called god (or at least, the laws written by some blokes many years ago) reek of such insecurity. Man up islam god.
Q. How do people keep on believing this god fiction ?
I spent several months in Riyahd, Saudi Arabia as part of the build up to Desert Storm. Women have zero freedom or rights in that society, and I was personally harassed by the mutawa (religious police) but thankfully, not arrested. The crime? I wasn't wearing a shroud over my head while I was in a shopping mall on the only day women were allowed to shop there. No, I would not EVER set foot in that country again. Not even for a brazillion dollars.
