And Henderson ensured that Ol’ Big Ears stayed with him forever after a visit to Klockwork Tattoo Club 333 in California. But the England international has stated that Alexander-Arnold was also set to get the tattoo – which Liverpool cult hero Daniel Agger set up. However the then-20-year-old, who suggested the idea of a tattoo, pulled out at the last minute following an intervention from his mum. Writing in his autobiography, Henderson remarked: “‘We should get tattoos’, he said. ‘We should get the Champions League trophy tattooed on our calves.’ “I haven’t got many tattoos, just ones of my kids which are on my ribs. Straight away, I said I was up for it though.  Most read in football DERBY Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal LIVE: Gabriel scores to set Gunners on course for huge win stung Brentford stars clashed with Forest staff, but hosts had last laugh with late goal claims Toney issues statement amid reports striker being investigated over gambling SMH Tielemans shakes his head in disbelief as Maddison gets MOTM despite stunner LIVE Man City 2-1 Fulham LIVE REACTION: Ten-man City claim win thanks to late Haaland goal debrief Guardiola in animated touchline chat with Cancelo after red card in win over Fulham “You will do it too, right?’ It was he who suggested it after all. One hundred percent,’ he said. “We were both going to Los Angeles for our summer break so I thought I would send Daniel Agger a message. Daniel knows everything there is to know about tattoos, he’s covered in them, and is a qualified tattoo artist. “I was sure he would know someone that he would be able to fix us up with in LA. I liked the idea that we could turn up, and know we were getting it done properly by someone who had been recommended.  “I told Trent that I would contact Dan, and that we would get them done when we were in LA. We could just turn up and know that they would do a good job.  AFP or licensorsHenderson ensured that Ol’ Big Ears has stayed with him forever after getting it inked on his thigh[/caption] “‘Yeah yeah’ Trent said. ‘Brilliant, love it.’ I wanted to double check with him before I organised it. ‘You’re sure aren’t you?’ I asked again. ‘You’re absolutely sure?’ “He said ‘yeah yeah, absolutely.’ So I texted Dan, and he said it wouldn’t be a problem, and that he knew someone not far from LA and that he would arrange it.  “A week after he messaged again. ‘All sorted’ he said. He gave us the date, the time, the location, and who we needed to see, everything, brilliant.  “At the end of the evening, I arranged to pick him up the next morning, and we would head out. “I’ll pick you up at 11′ I said. Trent said ‘sound.’ So I pulled up outside his villa at 11am, I thought he might be waiting, but it was quiet.  “I waited for a bit and then he came out, he was looking a bit sheepish. ‘Come on’ I said, ‘get in.’ “‘Erm’ he said quietly, ‘I can’t come.’ ‘You what?’ My face dropped. ‘What do you mean you can’t come?’ “I can’t come,’ he said again. ‘I can’t come because my mum says I’m not allowed.’  AFPHenderson has declared that Alexander-Arnold’s mum banned him from getting a tattoo[/caption] “This is a wind-up surely, I’m thinking to myself. ‘You f***ing what?’ I said. ‘Get in the car man, we’ve got to go. Are you serious, your mam says you can’t get a tattoo?’ “He was serious. It turned out that Trent had mentioned the tattoo to his brother Tyler, and Tyler had mentioned it to his mam, and his mam had rang Trent up and basically said ‘You’re not getting a tattoo.
