Tattoos are a big commitment. Once the ink has hit the skin, the mark left is permanent - barring painful surgery – so it’s best to be completely sure that the image or text you’re having is not something you’ll grow fed up with as the years pass. With football’s deep-rooted tribalism, ‘getting ink done’ to show your support is a popular part of fandom, and although some can be tasteful, others are truly woeful.
This Gooner’s ‘tribute’ to Arsene Wenger has been doing the rounds on the internet in recent days, with the Frenchman, for reasons we cannot even comprehend, riding a dog while holding aloft the Premier League trophy and the FA Cup. The site of Wenger clutching the domestic league's big prize is, bizarrely, not even the funniest aspect of the image! This fan’s efforts got our brains buzzing in FFC Towers… are there worse football tattoos? Well, here are EIGHT, decide for yourselves! [interaction id=“noneâ€]
‘Come on Eeverton…’
Not doing much to ease the football fans being thick stereotype…
Who the hell are these fellas?!?!
Liverpool and Chelsea supporters don’t have much in common, but it seems that this pair are similarly visually impaired…
Erm… not sure what this is!
Soccer fan and lover of Mr Potato Head? Well this is the ‘tat’ for you!
But first, let me take a selfie
Embarrassing celebration, even more embarrassing tattoo. All that’s wrong with the modern world in one picture! https://vine.co/v/OLBuB2gP75m/embed/simple
Another spelling gaffe
Spelling mistakes are even more amusing when they’re in ink!
Nothing wrong with ambition
Does getting out of the group stage count?
More painful than a Brazilian...
One signed and was s*** the other rejected them…
Hope they don’t change their kit
And finally we head over to Colombia where this fan has clearly grown sick of buying a new shirt every season!
