England midfielder Georgia Stanway has commemorated her recent transfer to Arsenal with a fresh tattoo, adding to her extensive collection of body art. Upon joining the club from Bayern Munich last month, the 27-year-old had the phrase “Whatever the weather” inked onto her right arm—a reference to lyrics from the club’s anthem North London Forever.
Stanway’s decision to mark her move with permanent body art reflects her passion for tattoos, which she estimates number close to 200. The footballer has even developed her artistic skills and now works as a tattoo artist herself, having worked on fellow England player Beth Mead among others. Despite already having numerous tattoos, Stanway indicated there is much more to come, stating she has significant space remaining on her body for future designs.
The midfielder’s signing represents one of the most significant moves in this transfer window for the Women’s Super League. Stanway spent four successful years with Bayern Munich, winning multiple trophies and establishing herself as a key player for the England national team. She revealed that Arsenal’s interest in her made the decision straightforward, describing the feeling of being actively pursued by the club as motivating her desire to join a team building something special in European women’s football.
While excited about her football prospects, Stanway acknowledged that relocating to London from her native Cumbria will require adjustment, noting her preference for countryside living over city environments.
