At the heart of the game, in the studio of stories: Georgia Stanway in Munich

"Georgia Stanway left her mark on FCB Women over the past four years - and how: she celebrated winning the league title in every season with them, plus the double on two occasions. Now the England international is looking for a new challenge. Munich got right under her skin, which is rather fitting, as her passion is tattooing. Her first steps as a tattoo artist didn't take place behind closed doors. Instead, they happened right in front of the cameras."

""To start with, I tattooed Caro Simon, and it was filmed for a Bayern documentary," recalls Georgia Stanway. "It was nerve-wracking - and such a rush of adrenaline at the same time! I'll never forget that day." Typical Stanway: whilst others might prefer to take things slowly at first, the England international threw herself straight into the thick of things - and that's exactly how she's been during her four years in central midfield at FC Bayern."

"There's a world of difference between a tattoo chair and the centre circle - yet for Georgia Stanway, both places represent a stage, a sense of responsibility and a rush of adrenaline. "As soon as it starts, nothing else matters," she says. "That's what makes it so wonderful." When the machine starts to whir - that howl, then that steady vibrating sound that no one who's ever heard it will ever forget - she leans forward, fully focused."

""When I'm tattooing, I have to be completely in the zone," she explains. "It's like in football - you pay attention to eve""

Georgia Stanway leaves FC Bayern Women after four successful seasons, including league titles every year and doubles on two occasions. The England international seeks a new challenge and finds it in tattooing, with Munich inspiring her. Her first tattooing steps began publicly, as she tattooed Caro Simon for a Bayern documentary, creating a nerve-wracking rush of adrenaline. Stanway compares the tattoo chair to the centre circle, describing both as stages requiring responsibility and intense focus. She says that once tattooing starts, nothing else matters, and she must be completely in the zone, similar to football attention during play.
