25 Worst Fan Tattoos in Sports History

| January 18, 2012 | 3:02 pm | 52 Comments

There’s nothing a diehard fan should have more than a hideous blob of permanent ink on their body representing their fandomness. And better yet, these lovely markings not only show off their level of fandomness but also their inconceivable degree of nitwittedness.

The cost of some of these tattoos alone make them a bit outrageous, but hey, it isn’t my body…and I’m thankful for it. We regrettably looked at hundreds of bodies to come up with the twenty-five worst tattoos in the history of sports fans. Spoiler alert: the last one crosses the line.


This Oakland Raiderette (presumably) will enjoy the heck out of this tattoo when she’s 40 with three kids and an angry Raiders fan for a husband.

You slept with Shaq, huh? That’s something you might want to keep under your hat, dude. Literally.

This guy obviously failed to put on his thinking cap before going through with this one. Just another brilliant Yankee fan. At least it’s on the back of his head, so he might fuhhgetaboutit.

I hope this guy is a ginger because when that hair grows back, I got news for you, that orange is showing through.

Is he a Cowboys fan or does he hope they get struck by lightning? Is he a Chargers fan too? I’m confused.

Nothing screams intelligence like a dude getting a tramp stamp of his school’s mantra – Auburn – southern gentleman.

Nothing screams intelligence like a dude getting a full back representation of his favorite school – Clemson – and spelling it wrong.

It doesn’t take a seemhead to know that baseballs are round.

This tat is actually pretty nice – except for the fact that this guy just doled out three months’ rent to his tattoo artist.

I don’t like the BLston Red Sox, BLston Celtics, BLston Bruins or NLw England Patriots either, but don’t think you think is a bit much?

Honestly, what is the purpose of this?

Ok, you’re a Wings fan. Don’t you think you could have picked ANYWHERE else on your body to show your affection?

Who knew Mr. Discount Double Check, Aaron Rodgers, had a little beer gut?

Somewhere Tim Tebow is praying for this poor soul.

There is nothing I want to see more when I get out of the shower than another man’s head on my upper thigh.

Somebody jumped the gun – the Houston Texans were beaten by the Ravens this past Sunday.

Apparently in Texas it’s cool to jump the gun. Then again, at least the Rangers made it to the World Series.

Ya see, I’m a big Dirk fan. Can you just put a big blue rectangle on my arm?

This conversation with his children will go nicely.

Eh.

Mike Tyson = tough. Getting a tattoo of Mike Tyson with his mouth open = not that tough.

L is for loser.

Ahh yes, another brilliant Yankee fan.

Some sucker Cubs fan lost a bet that they totally deserved to lose.

NASCAR deserves its own post…

    Note the "swish" under the chin for Nick Swisher a Yankee

  21. Anonymous says:

    "swish" under the chin= Nick Swisher, a NY Yankee

  22. Anonymous says:

    That is JR Smith. The "swish" is probably in reference to basketball, not Nick Swisher.

    The one of the "Aaron Rodgers" Championship belt, that has nothing to do with football, that is clearly just a wrestling fan, he wouldn't have the WWF logo on his belt if it had anything to do with the Packers. Just saying.

    The "swish" under the chin = YunG SwiSh, a member or Young Money. I'm a 51 year old white male and it took me all of 30 seconds to find that out.

    - That Tim Tebow tatt is hideous O_o. They could have at least gave the guy some muscles and a jersey.

    the third to last one looks a lot like the neck of JR Smith, pro basketabll player for the Denver Nuggets (currenlty playing in China). When you make money like that, u can get a tat of anything.

    What empty lives these people must lead that they have to build their lives around some business' marketing brand. You don't see team owners with their teams logo etched on them and they own the team. The players go where the money is. Weak minded people like these are who terrorists and cults recruit because they are easily manipulated and have never had an original thought. Jack Daniels and Budweiser tats next.

    no offense 51 yr old white male but your actually completely wrong. Typically people your age still do not understand the internet and your solid proof. When googling YunG SwiSh you come up with a poser black kid who wishes to be on young money by saying hes a part of the group through myspace. I'm sorry but I highly doubt that man got the "swish" tattoo for the unexistent rapper.

    Really at the end of the day regardless of why he got that tattoo he COULD be a Yankees fan. None of us will ever truly know. Hell it could be representing both. Who the hell knows!? So why argue?? Haha

    Any one who gets a tat on their face, neck or their whole back is a total freak! Loser's all! If that's your way of trying to get attention, you're sick! You aren't respected, you're laughed at! As for Clemons? Only a total idiot would fail to check to see if his 'artist' could spell. But, that's OK because I LMFAO!

    Yup. Could be both. Could be neither. Either way it's still ugly as hell!

    That's a wrestling belt and not related to Aaron Rodgers' discount double check?!?!?!?!? Silly us.

    THE GUY WITH THE SWISH TATTOO IS NOT FOR NICK SWISHER, ITS JR SMITH OF SOME WACK TEAM IN CHINA.. GOD YOU AMERICANS ARE DUMB

  51. Anonymous says:

    It's obviously a YM for young money…I mean it literally says "young money" across it. and I doubt this guy would put "swish" for nick swisher in green, blue, and yellow…..not to mention nick swisher is a white. surely if he put a yankee's name it would be a fellow minority a.k.a. rivera, posada, jeter, a-rod etc.
