Every Sunday, most Americans transform into deranged lunatics who passionately watch grown men smash each other into early deaths for millions of dollars. Any football fan knows what it's like to temporarily become so passionate they end up screaming at a TV screen and drowning their sorrows in queso dip, but some people take their love of the game and team way, way too far. Then they might do something regrettable, like, for example, permanently inking a token of the love for their favorite team on their body.
Once they decided they were going to get an NFL-themed tattoo, it's not like these people had much of a chance of walking out of the tattoo parlor with a dope piece. However, for various reasons, these 11 Terrible NFL Tattoo Fails are particularly awful.
Boston Fan
Team Referenced: New England Patriots
If you ever wondered how to combine every major Boston sports logo into a single tattoo, here's an example of how not to do it.
Make It Rain
Team Referenced: Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints
As if we didn't have enough of these “Calvin Pees” parodies already.
Undefeated, Unforgotten
Team Referenced: Miami Dolphins
We know this is a reminder to never forget the Miami Dolphins' undefeated 1972 season, but we've been trying to erase the memory of this tattooed beer belly since we first laid our eyes on it.
Cheese…Arm
Team Referenced: Green Bay Packers
Just in case you weren't sure, yes, you will regret putting a block of cheese in the shape of the state of Wisconsin on your arm.
A Permanent Jersey
Team Referenced: Philadelphia Eagles
The day Brian Dawkins got traded to the Denver Broncos was the saddest day of this Eagles fan's life.
“Ball2More”
Team Referenced: Baltimore Ravens
Just...too much going on here to even comment.
Flexing
Team Referenced: Chicago Bears
Of all the places to put your Bears tattoo, why did you place it on your non-existent bicep?
Too Many Questions
Team Referenced: Jacksonville Jaguars
When did the Jaguars' logo become affected by a zombie virus? And why is its arm coming out of its mouth?
Mugshot
Team Referenced: Buffalo Bills
If you have to pull your pants down in an alley to show off your OJ Simpson mugshot tattoo, it might be time to re-evaluate everything you've got going on in life.
“Steeers”
Team Referenced: Pittsburgh Steelers
Getting an NFL-themed tattoo is already questionable, but getting one in prison? The odds of it coming out decently is less than the Jets making the playoffs.
Tebowed
Team Referenced: Denver Broncos, New York Jets
You'll have to do more than get down on one knee and pray if you think this tattoo will seem like a good decision anytime soon.
