The Cuban comedian and influencer José Ernesto González, better known as Carnota, experienced one of those moments that are etched—literally—forever this weekend. The content creator reunited with Lionel Messi in Miami and ended up tattooing his signature just a few hours later.
It all started when a friend informed him of the whereabouts of the Argentine star. He didn't think twice and went to meet him. At the Amazónico restaurant, Carnota coincided with the captain of Inter Miami, who graciously agreed to sign his arm. “After a long time, he signed my arm,” he shared excitedly. What followed was pure adrenaline: after one-thirty in the morning, he was already in a tattoo studio fulfilling his dream.
“Everyone who has seen Messi play since childhood knows what it can mean for you and your inner child to have a memory of him for a lifetime”, he explained on social media, still in disbelief. Carnota also took the opportunity to thank the friends who informed him about the meeting and the tattoo artist who welcomed him outside of regular hours. “Life shows me once again that everything you imagine can become a reality,” he wrote.
The coincidence could not have been more symbolic: that same day, Messi lifted a new trophy with Inter Miami, turning the night into a complete celebration in the city. Among fans, cameras, and excitement, the Argentine remains the undisputed king of South Florida.
With this tattoo, Carnota not only sealed a memory but also a story of admiration that began years ago. Now, she says with laughter, "there's no way it's going to fade away."
