Jugadores

A friend of mine has a tattoo on his arm "Jugadores", so i asked him why he has a tattoo which means "Player"/"Gamer" in English.
He was responding that it has several meanings but i did not think so.
It is even plural which makes less sense to me.

To my question: Does "Jugadores" mean anything else than "Player"/"Gamer"?

'Players' or 'Gamblers' is the only translation I could think of.

Thank you for that

That's exactly what i told him, too, but he didn't believe me. Who on earth would do that :P

There are entire blogs dedicated to Chinese tattoos which the wearer believes to mean one thing where in fact they either mean something else or make no sense.

He is a hustler... I suppose. Is he into rap? It could mean he is a money maker, a person with a lot of women or has good good things like fancy rims on a car. Like they say in American rap songs. "Playas" or "Playa" That is the only thing I can think of when he says that it has other meanings.

He's more into R'nB, but he also listens to rap. He does make a lot of money and has at least 2-4 girlsfriends + some hookers.
He has an IQ of 40 and i don't really envy him. He also pronounced it wrong because the "J" letter is spelled differently in German.

I still wonder why it's "Jugadores" instead of "Jugador".

haha I just notice where you are from. I am probably wrong now. I can see someone in America using Jugadores and it meaning "Playas" which is a person we both described. A Hispanic would do something like that. I did a bit of research and a person who has a lot of women is called a "mujeriego"... That would be a womanizer. Another I can think of is Don Juan. For someone who makes a lot of money I can not think of a word for someone like that.

ADDED*
Though I don't think someone would label themselves as a mujeriego. Don Juan I can see someone using that or getting a tattoo of Don Juan.

I just asked him, he said exactly what you wrote before.

Women, money and all that. He digs Cuba.
