The Chinese national football team player has been asked to cover his tattoos.
Footballers who play for China's national team have been banned from getting tattoos, and advised to remove them, under a new directive.
The country's sports administration body said it was not allowed to recruit players with tattoos to the national team.
The administration said the move would be a good example.
Some national stars have been told to cover their tattoos.
China has been stepping up regulation to stop tattoos being shown on screens. Footballers have been covering their arms with long sleeves to hide their body art.
The country's General Administration of Sport (GAS) said national players with tattoos were advised to have them removed.
The tattoos must be covered with the consent of the rest of the team in special circumstances.
In Chinese culture, tattoos are seen as a sign of weakness, and in the past they were used to brand criminals. Ethnic tattoos were seen as a sign of uncivilisedness.
They have become popular among young Chinese despite being disapproved by the Communist Party.
China's broadcasting regulator announced earlier this year that it was tightening rules on what it described as "unhealthy content".
In some cases, tattoos and men's ponytails have been blurred from television and internet appearances by sports and celebrities.
A women's university football match in China was called off last December after players were told they were not allowed to have dyed hair.
The National Youth Campus Football League said in a statement at the time that athletes at all stages should not have tattoos, dye their hair, wear weird hairstyle, or wear accessories unless they are ineligible for the competition.
