An England football fan who had "Euro Winners" tattooed on his leg before the final says he has no regrets and will not cover it up. Dan Thomas, from Swindon in Wiltshire, received a tattoo of the Henri Delaunay Cup and the words "England Euro 2024 Winners" ahead of the final that England lost 2-1 to Spain on Sunday.

Mr. Thomas, 29, remains optimistic that the Three Lions will triumph in the next Euros tournament in 2028, when the UK and Ireland are the hosts, and is even considering a minor adjustment to the tattoo. He said he "still loves" the tattoo and has encouraged other England fans to get their own to show support ahead of the next tournament.

The data consultant stated, "We came close. I don't regret the tattoo. If anything, I don't think it would be hard to change the four into an eight in four years' time. I won't be covering it up. Absolutely no regrets, and I still love it."

Mr. Thomas described the match's outcome as "bittersweet" and praised the team for reaching the final. "The result wasn't what we wanted, but it's a great achievement to reach another final," he said. "It's only a matter of time before we win something."

He spent two-and-a-half hours at the Reign Barbers and Tattoos parlour in Swindon getting the sizable tattoo on his left leg. He live-streamed the moment he got the artwork tattooed, which received 42,000 views on TikTok.

"I don't really tend to look at the comments on my tattoo. Other people's opinions don't faze me," he said. "I'd encourage others to do the same in future tournaments to get behind the team."
