Eagles Fan Finds Creative Way to Make Up For Missed Tattoo Prediction

Fans have all kinds of ways to show their support for their teams. Some take things to the extreme—and, in the case of permanent tattoo ink, make a lifelong commitment that oftentimes looks foolish in the long run.

One Eagles fan, though, decided to lean into the absurd and embrace his newfound predicament.

The bold step of getting an Eagles Super Bowl LVII champions tattoo before Philadelphia’s matchup with the Chiefs backfired after Kansas City pulled out a dramatic 38-35 comeback win. So what do you do when your lifelong commitment becomes a reminder of a painful memory? You lean into the skid.

It doesn’t take a PR genius to know that, when put in a bad circumstance (even if it’s by your own questionable decision making), the best course to take is often to get out ahead of the problem. The “crying MJ” meme is a ubiquitous symbol of internet ownage, and perhaps putting that image on your body could be viewed as simply making matters worse.

But hey, at least you can’t accuse this die-hard Eagles fan of lacking a sense of humor. Now we’ll just have to wait and see their next move the next time Philadelphia makes it to the big game.
