A tattoo is a very personal, damn-near permanent way that some people chose to express themselves. The decision to get some ink and where to get it should not be taken lightly. Enter crazy, obsessed, and at often times manic-depressive sports fans into the mix, and you can pretty much throw away any sort of common sense. No matter what sport, what country, or what sex, there's an overwhelming supply of photographic evidence showing that sports fans will literally give up their bodies to show loyalty and support to their squads. In a collection ranging from the laughable, to the downright absurd, check out this, Gallery: The Worst Sports Fan Tattoo Fails of All Time.

Shaquile O'Neal
Well, there's you, Superhead, Shaunie, Hoopz, and all those girls Kobe said he "paid off."
NASCAR
The prominence of hairy tits, sunburned fans, and the Confederate flag. Just a few fo the reasons we don't fuck with NASCAR. This track tho >>>

This reminds us of that one time we did 'shrooms and tuned into our favorite NBA program. Twas quite the magical experience.

We're speechless. How long did this thing take from start to finish?

Dale Earnhardt really is a cult hero in the south.

Surely this dude was intoxicated when he got this. #tattedtears

Nothing pays respect to a legend like getting a big blue tattoo of his face on your leg. Elway would be so proud.

A tattoo of a jacked up buffalo with a tattoo, thoughts?

What happens when Stevie leaves the Bills? Or when this guy decides to end his 'roid cycle?

There's probably no instance where getting your favorite athletes face on your body is a good idea.

Nothing like getting the famous faces of your club tattooed on your back, only to be topped off with the face of Jesus.
