Results A total of 69 penalties were taken, 48 of which (69.56%) were scored. Non-tattooed players took 44 penalties, and tattooed players took 25 (Table 1). The success rate of non-tattooed players was 68.18% (30/44), whereas the success rate of tattooed players was 72.00% (18/25) (p > 0.05). In the knockout stages, the success rate in the penalty shoot-outs was 62.50% (17/24) in non-tattooed and 73.00% (11/15) in tattooed penalty takers (p > 0.05).
