I am not big on tattoos. I don’t have any and I don’t see myself getting any. So when it comes to tattoos of sports teams logos or images, I don’t get it.

But I do wonder what it must take for someone to love their team (or a player) so much that they would get it. Of course, there are cases where a team helped heal a broken relationship or was the catalyst to an important life moment, then it works.

But every now and then I see a person with a tattoo of a sports logo and I just don’t see how it works. I know fans want to show their support, but is a sports team that important with a permanent marking like that?

I can’t put myself in anyone’s shoes because I will never get it. But it surprises me that these kinds of things are happening way more frequently in recent years.
