Admiring NFL players is one thing, but getting one of them tattooed on your body is a whole other thing. One NFL fan, Lauren Philpott, took this a step further by getting a former NFL player tattooed on her body who not only didn't play for her team, the New York Giants, but her rival's team.
After losing a bet with her husband, Philpott got a tattoo of a nude Jason Kelce on her body and doesn't seem to regret the decision one bit, per TMZ.
"This is who I am as a person, a bet is a bet," she said. "If I get it covered up, I still went through with it. No, I don't care. It's a funny story. It's something that my husband and I like to do."

It's dedication to get any sort of NFL-themed tattoo, but to get one of a player from your team's biggest rival takes that to an even deeper level.
Not many Giants fans are going to jump at the chance to have a rival player tatted on them for life but that didn't stop Philpott, who apparently had to get the tattoo due to a bet she lost to her husband during the 2022 NFL season.
"Although I'm a Giants fan, I have a lot of respect for the Eagles and what they are like as a team," Philpot said. "So, who else am I going to put on my arm? Jason Kelce."
Philpott mentioned to TMZ that the tattoo took 3-3.5 hours and "didn't break the bank". For those wondering about Kelce's response to this whole thing, he posted about the infamous tat in May and wasn't sure whether he should be flattered or offended, and ultimately decided to go with flattered.
Hey, if this is the sort of thing Philpott and her husband like to do, more power to them, even as weird as it might seem to everyone else.
