You know, tattoos were one of those areas of life where no matter how bad, awkward, ill-conceived. etc... it seemed, there was probably always someone whose idea and execution were just a smidge worse. Allen Robinson might be approaching elite territory in this regard here, however, as I cannot fathom why this moment and in quite this, well, way.

I'm no tattoo artist, but I know what I hate.

(While the workmanship is third-tier, the dimensions oversized, the design childishly simplistic, I think that what really redeems it is that the concept is idiotic and that tattoos are sorta permanent.)

This does not look like a PSU player at all. I get that its technically accurate because of the white out game, but between that (no blue in jersey) and the name on the back (which again, technically accurate but gone now - BoB had them for like 3 years), it kind of looks like an unfinished prison tat.

Is that the final work or are they staging it? I'm no tattoo expert, but it seems like the "artist" spent more time/effort/detail on Stribling with the shadowing and of course our jersey/helmet. Seems like he knew he was running out of ink and just decided to do the bare minimum for Robinson.

 

I once blocked a shot in HS, thinking about having that depicted on my forehead.

Such a weird thing to get a tattoo of.  They finished that season 7-5.  We finished 7-6.  Both teams turned in a season everyone involved would like to forget. 

 

I could see if it was a national championship winning catch, or if undefeated Michigan was playing undefeated Ohio State and you made the winning catch, but this I just don't get.

EDIT: and we're not talking about a game winning catch.  We're talking about a catch that SET UP a touchdown that tied it late.  Then Michigan failed to score in the remaining regulation.  Then we played 4 overtimes.

That was mean by me. I find it a little offensive as someone around Robinson's age who listened to NWA as a teenager. That'd be like me saying someone is too old to listen to Kendrick Lamar. The truth is we're too young to have seen them live.

It was a great catch and the photo of it was pretty cool, if a terrible result.(Agree putting Stribling's name on it so prominently is douchy as all get out).

It's his body and his money and likely a big moment for him, I say go for it.  This is the kind of thing that makes college football more fun.
