Brentford Women striker Wiktoria Kiszkis takes us on a Tattoo Tour.
The forward, who joined the Bees in February 2026, explains the stories behind her ink, from her favourite animal and a tribute to her dog to the tattoo that helped her through injury.
What was your first tattoo?
"The first one is on the back of my neck. It's just my astrology sign. I'm a Gemini, born in June.
"That was my first tattoo when I was 16, with parental consent. My dad did it; he's a tattoo artist. That started my tattoo journey."
What is your favourite tattoo?
"My favourite one is my favourite animal, which is a penguin.
"But also in the same type of style is my dog, who passed away in May last year. Her name was Zosia; in English, it translates to Sophie."
Do all your tattoos have a meaning?
"I'd say it's a 60/40 split: 60 per cent meaning, 40 per cent they just look great.
"My Spider-Man's also one of my favourites, a childhood superhero. Then you've got the little ghost with a football, which is pretty self-explanatory.
"I got that done during my injury alongside 'patience'. It took me some time to get back."
Why are so many of your tattoos on your left arm?
"I don't know, maybe around the stigma of tattoos from when I was younger, like 'You won't be able to get a job'.
"I just decided to stick to having them on one arm so I can roll up my right sleeve if I need to be professional."
Who has done your tattoos?
"A few of them were done by my friend who did them for free, which is pretty cool, because they were doing their tattoo course, so it was a blank canvas for them.
"I've gone to Poland to do some of them, and my dad's a tattoo artist."
How would you describe your tattoo style?
"It's chopped and changed a little bit. There's a bit of fine line, a little bit of shading, a little bit of red. I like red."
Are you planning any more tattoos?
"I want to get more, just don't know what yet. I don't really plan it. If it comes to me, I'll go and book a session in the next week.
"Right now I don't have any plans, but I'm sure when something catches my eye or I have something to commemorate, I will."
Kiszkis and the Bees are back in action on Sunday 15 November when they travel to face Marine Academy Plymouth at Ivybridge Town Football Club in the FA Cup second round (1pm kick-off GMT). The game will be streamed live on the Brentford website.
