Things To Consider Before Getting That New Chiefs Tattoo

Well, the Kansas City Chiefs just won the Super Bowl. And everyone hates them even more than they did before. Or do they? Before I get into what designs I’d…

Well, the Kansas City Chiefs just won the Super Bowl. And everyone hates them even more than they did before. Or do they? Before I get into what designs I’d suggest if you are looking for some Chiefs ink, let’s take a second to address the latest tattoo trend that is sweeping the nation.

The Rising Popularity Of The Chiefs Tattoo

Since KC just took home the Lombardi Trophy, the interest in Chiefs tattoos has skyrocketed. According to abc10.com, tattoos featuring the world champs have been searched on the internet more than 2000% than before the Super Bowl.

That begs the question: If people really do hate the Chiefs so much, why are they getting Mahomie tattooed on their left butt cheek?

Some are getting their new tat to add to their existing collection of Kansas City victory ink. Which I can appreciate. But then there are those who are suddenly KC fans and need to immortalize their conformity on their bodies. To which I ask, why didn’t you have a tattoo of Arrowhead on you before the Super Bowl, Bandwagonner?

Which begs another question: Are people trying to curse the team by getting that tat of the red and gold heart hands? Nice try. That only works in breaking up relationships. I get it though. The Chiefs do seem totally unstoppable. Nobody can blame you for resorting to that level of desperation. You’re probably thinking there’s gotta be something that will throw these guys off.

Right idea. Wrong approach.

Look, I’m tellin’ ya, you’re doing it all wrong. Nothing fires KC up more than being the villain. Especially Kelce. And boy, did the 49ers learn that the hard way. Again. I was at Super Bowl Opening Night at Allegiant stadium. I heard the Boos. And on Super Bowl Sunday, I also heard the Boo-Hoos. The only thing that Opening Night trash talk did was rile KC up.

Chief Tattoo Ideas To Think About

Bottom line is if you’re looking for a tattoo to derail the Chiefs, I’m not sure it’s a great idea. It’s just gonna make them stronger and leave you with a permanent reminder of your resentment. However, if you are doing it because you’re enjoying the ride on the bandwagon, well then buckle up kids. I have some ideas for you.

The Permanent Autograph

While I don’t advise playing a game of Beer Pong with Mahomes and Kelce for money, I REALLY think it’s a bad idea to bet a tattoo on the game. But that’s exactly what Post Malone did and LOST. Or did he? His tattoo isn’t just of the KC Arrowhead. Both players signed his arm as well. That’s a helluva way to get an autograph.

The KC Slasher

The Slashed-up KC logo is a nice one. It represents the kind of year the Chiefs had. Beat up and tattered, but somehow they scratched and clawed their way to victory. Bonus: this tat also says, SLAYER!!! Or is that just me?

Bray Payton does some incredible work, and this piece is no exception. Mahomes, Kelce and Big Red, all on the same tat. I think I would change it, though. I would rather have Kelce’s face dominant, because he’s HAWT. Reid? Not my type. 

Back Tat or Treason?

Imagine being on a opposing team and still flying the KC colors. Or in this case of this tattoo, the KC black and grey. Oh believe me, Ray took a lot of flak for this bad boy. But hey, he’s KC born and raised, so haters can hate. Shane Ray can take it.  

Carlota's Pick

This, my friend, is the crème de la crème. The is my favorite of any on this list. Hands down. Or, more accurately, arm sleeve down.

The Native American sporting the KC logo. The landscape of the Kansas City and then The Joker burning money too? What the…Dude, I’m broke, I’ll take that cash! And this Tat!!

Better than one of Mahomie on my left butt cheek for sure.
