Ink that inspires: Stories behind India's hockey World Cup campaign

Some players on India's hockey team showed off their tattoos before the Hockey World Cup.

Tattoos are pictures drawn on the skin that stay there forever.

Each tattoo has a special meaning for the player who wears it.

One player has a crown because he thinks of himself as the king of the goal area.

Another player has a picture of the Olympic rings, and he says the picture will be finished when his team wins a gold medal.

One goalkeeper has words that say he will always protect the people he loves.

A player named Jarmanpreet has a special tattoo to thank his brother, who helped him practice during a difficult time.

Jarmanpreet had been banned from hockey for two years, and his brother Sandeep made sure he kept training.

Now Jarmanpreet is back on the team and ready to play.

India's first match is against a team called Wales on Saturday.
