What's the story?
Orlando Pirates star Thembinkosi Lorch has updated his matchday look with a staggering piece of body art.
Lorch was suspended by his club for three weeks and will be returning to the fold with a new tattoo, which is similar to work done by Andile Mpisane and Memphis Depay.

New ink for Lorch
Thembinkosi Lorch is set to make a return to the pitch following his almost month-long suspension from Orlando Pirates after being handed a three-year suspended sentence, having being found guilty for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
The 30-year-old got himself inked up during his suspension, getting a mural tattoo of a Lions face, sticking to his hyper-realism theme when it comes to his tats.
Lorch is covered up on both arms and chest and his new tattoo has effectively covered his entire back. The Buccaneer was tatted up by a Midrand-based artist, 'Katlego33ink', who specialises in realism tattoo art.

Take a look:
Lorch's ink could be inspired by the work done by Atletico Madrid star Memphis Depay, who has a similar portrait of a Lion on his back, with a little more shading.
Royal AM's Andile Mpisane is also on the giant Lion tattoo wave, getting his version of the tattoo a little over a year ago.
