Medal count | Olympic schedule | Olympic news
Sports cause people to do crazy things. One of those things is get sports tattoos.
Over the years, as the popularity of sports has exploded and tattoo art has presumably become more and more elaborate, those tattoos have become more and more crazy/bad/disgusting/cool/foolish/misguided/alarming/insane.
It’s gotten to the point where any memorable moment or lasting image gets emblazoned on arms, legs and other body parts around the United States and the world. It only took a day or two for Michael Phelps’ now-famous glare to become ink:
But the Phelps tattoo is relatively mild compared to some other sports tattoos over the years. Here’s a look at 10 of the worst.
1. CLEMONS UNIVERSITY
This is terrible even if “Clemson” had been spelled right.
2. TEBOW TIME
Nope. Just … nope.
3. TEBOW TIME, PT. 2
How about Tim Tebow as a normal human being rather than a centaur? Nope. Still nope.
4. 40-0
Never get a tattoo before something actually happens…
5. RANGERS WORLD CHAMPS
… No exceptions …
6. LIONS SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!
… Especially if you’re a Detroit Lions fan.
7. 0-16
You probably shouldn’t get tattoos after the fact if you’re a Lions fan either.
8. O.J. SIMPSON
Why.
9. WHAT IS THAT
Head tattoos are almost always a bad move.
10. LOUSVILLE SLUGGER
Why would you want your arm to look like a piece of wood?
11. STEELERS (?)
If you’re going to get a sports tattoo, at least get a real tattoo artist to do it and not a 7-year-old kid.
But really, just don’t get sports tattoos in the first place.
