While Jets fans are huddled in a corner praying for a Dark Knight Rises-esque stadium collapse to occur during the Super Bowl in two weeks, Giants fans are practically glowing right now. And though they may be considered the underdogs, the crazy-eyed smile on the face of normally frowny coach Tom Coughlin should give you an idea of the team's current spirits. Does that enthusiasm justify shaving the Giants logo into your head, like the man above? Sure, why not. But does it warrant getting a tattoo of Eli Manning giving Peyton Manning a noogie on your butt cheeks?
Tipster Derek B. tells Deadspin that his buddy "got this tattoo Eli giving Peyton a noogie today. He's a huge Giants fan." He added that, "The other tattoos on his ass include ants crawling out of his crack and one that says breauxham, as well as a brand of his fathers initials." To prove this isn't some magic-marker hoax (and boy, what an elaborate, carefully-drawn hoax that would be), the tipster gave the guy's name: "I can vouch for it 100%. His name is Travis and he's from Queens."
So Travis from Queens: if you're out there, let us know about how you decided on such a unique tattoo. If other readers have any Giants homages, send us your pics as well. But please, try to refrain from Tebowing, or doing anything that might mildly resemble Tebowing.
