Joshua Taylor-Myles – whose tattoos shocked the football world – shows off his VERY dramatic replacement ink in Bali

A rugby player has shown off his newly tattooed words after being warned that the previous words he had tattooed on his thighs were so offensive he could be banned from the sport.

Joshua Taylor-Myles, a 23-year-old prostitute for the Aquinas Colts in Sydney’s south-west, caused a stir after it was revealed he had ‘eat sh** fa***t’ and ‘snort lines and f***’ tattooed on his quadriceps.

About two weeks after Daily Mail Australia revealed Mr Taylor-Myles’ identity, the athlete confirmed on Sunday evening that he had finally covered up his infamous tattoos during a birthday trip to Bali.

Mr Taylor-Myles posted a photo of himself grinning at the front of Finns beach club in Bali, with his shorts pulled up to reveal a fresh bear snarl and a Viking motif on his thighs.

“Gone but not forgotten,” he captioned the photo.

Mr Taylor-Myles (pictured) was told to cover the ink – which read ‘eat s***t fa***t’ and ‘snort lines and f***’ – or he would walk at risk of being kicked out of the NSW Rugby League.

Two Balinese artists added the elaborate illustrations to his two tattoos on Saturday evening.

It comes less than two weeks after the father-of-one was given an ultimatum: either cover up the offending ink or risk being banned from any NSWRL match.

A spokesperson for NSWRL previously told Daily Mail Australia the father-of-one had been given an official warning and asked to cover up the tattoos.

“The NSWRL and Cronulla JRL are committed to providing a safe, fun and inclusive environment for all people, including those of different sexualities and genders. Being an inclusive sport not only reflects our core values, but also the diversity of our local communities,” the spokesperson said.

The tattoos caused a stir after Taylor-Myles was selected to play in the NSWRL Luke Lewis Cup, with an image of his tattoos going viral on social media.

The Aquinas Colts are a Cronulla feeder club. It is understood Cronulla officials were only made aware of the highly offensive tattoos when a photo of them circulated on social media.

At least two images of Taylor-Myles’ legs were removed from the club’s social media pages after commentators branded the tattoos “disgusting” and social media users called for the athlete to have them removed by laser.

Longtime members of the club are wondering how the scandal was handled.

“He should get the boot from the club if he refuses to cover up those tattoos,” a former club member told Daily Mail Australia.

“I get it, we all make mistakes, but there’s hardly any reasonable excuse as to why you would ever get such offensive words tattooed on your body.

‘He wouldn’t play if I was still at the club.’

News Corp commentator Buzz Rothfield called the tattoos “just hideous.”

“They’re so insulting. It’s so homophobic. (The club) didn’t realize that. They didn’t check the leg tattoos of every player they picked in rep teams but when a photo of the player was posted on social media they recognized it and sent it to the New South Wales Rugby League and well done Dave Trodden,” he said.

Rothfield said Mr Trodden, the NSWRL CEO, had “jumped straight on it”.

“He said we have zero tolerance for any form of bullying, intimidation or vilification against people of different sexualities and genders,” he continued.

“They told the guy, ‘Cover them up with tape or you’ll never play in a New South Wales Rugby League sanctioned competition again.’ I applaud them for coming down so hard on his nonsense.

“He plays in a club where a lot of young women and men play for fun, for camaraderie, but that’s just not normal.”
