Fan Lands Signed Travis Kelce Jersey After Bold Tattoo Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has been busy with his Tight End University, an annual event that he hosts alongside George Kittle and Greg Olsen. Despite that, however, he has been trending for an entirely different reason.
While some would think that Kelce’s appearance at TEU with his girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, was the reason fans were buzzing about the Chiefs tight end, that’s not entirely the case.
The couple’s appearance at the opening night ceremony for Tight End University may have turned a lot of heads, but what really got people talking about Kelce was a fan’s wild tattoo of him.

Accelerator Active Energy — an energy drink brand that Kelce endorses — shared on Tuesday that someone has taken up its offer to have a pinup Kelce tattoo featuring the brand’s name.
The offer came after someone had a Jason Kelce pinup tattoo that even caught the attention of the former NFL player himself and his wife.
“omg someone actually did it,” Accelerator Active Energy wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of the left-leg tattoo that shows Travis Kelce wearing only red gloves and socks with shoes, while his body hugged an Accelerator can.
“Don’t worry, he’s being hooked up.”
In a press release sent to Athlon Sports, Accelerator Active Energy identified the fan as 29 year-old Nick Jones, who is based in Delta, Ohio.
Jones, who is also a Dallas Cowboys fan, told Accelerator Active Energy: “I couldn’t let an Eagle have all the spotlight so I had to back Travis up. I have had Travis on my fantasy team for the last couple years.”
As a result of his move, the fan is now set to receive 25 cases of Accelerator drink as promised. Aside from that, he will also receive a signed jersey from Travis Kelce.
Meanwhile, several fans commented on the tattoo, with many amazed by the gesture and several others in disbelief.

“A masterpiece,” the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” show commented. A fan page added, “No way!”
“IM SCREAMING” a follower shared.
Another fan remarked, “This tattoo would’ve been 13% better if he was wearing a friendship bracelet!”
“That is dedication,” a social media user stated.
A sixth poster asked in disbelief, “Is that real?”
