Former Arsenal star Henry shows off ink in honour of city (but it's not London!)

Thierry Henry has revealed an intricate new tattoo involving a baby, the Empire State Building and an angel on Instagram.
A video showing the sleeve design, which covers the entirety of the Frenchman's left arm, was posted by Bang Bang Tattoos, a New York based tattoo parlour.
The ink begins at the bottom of Henry's arm with an image of a baby, which could be his daughter Tea, 8, and then evolves into the Statue of Liberty and what appears to be Brooklyn Bridge.

Further up, a red-tinted Empire State Building sits alongside a series of typical New York buildings complete with fire escapes and lit-up windows.

A large angel at the top of Henry's arm, surrounded by the moon and stars, finishes the artwork. Large red letters also run around the striker's elbow joint.

The former Arsenal forward is not the first famous visitor to Bang Bang Tattoos. In recent months the popular parlour have posted images of their work on music superstars Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Adele.

The inclusion of some of New York's most famous landmarks suggests that Henry is enjoying his time in the USA, after signing for New York Red Bulls in the summer of 2010 from Barcelona.

The 35-year-old was named his side's Most Valuable Player last season and earned a second consecutive spot as an MLS All-Star.

He has taken on David Beckham's mantle as the MLS' most famous player and is seen as a key figure in improving the league's reputation around the world.

Return: Henry celebrates scoring for Arsenal during a loan spell in 2012

Having signed a 'multi-year contract' when he joined, Henry looks likely to see out his career at the Red Bull Arena despite returning to Arsenal for a brief loan spell in 2012.

The Red Bulls currently sit third in the Eastern Conference of the MLS, four points off current leaders Sporting Kansas City.
