Let me build a scenerio for you.
Maybe you know Tim Tebow. Maybe you don't.
That's him.
Tebow plays quarterback for the NFL Denver Broncos. He is a really good QB in his first 10 starts. He beats out Denver and NFL legend John Elway in stats comparing the first 10 games they each had. There's really not a comparison looking at just the first 10 of the two, which is all we have for Tebow right now. Bleacher Report says:
"In 10 starts, Tebow has 14 touchdown passes, six rushing touchdowns and four interceptions. And perhaps the most intriguing stat considering how much he's been scrutinized about his passing, Tebow has a higher completion percentage at 48 percent.
"Tebow has also engineered five game-winning drives, which ties him with Scott Brunner and Marc Wilson for the most game-winning drives in the first 10 starts."
That is incredible. And those game-winning drives are a thing of beauty. Just check out some video.
Let's get to something that is not a thing of beauty...
No matter what sport or team you pull for, you have to give Tebow props. He has certainly shown with his first 10 starts that he is capable of a legendary career with the NFL. Capable. I didn't say he had achieved it. So let's not do anything too crazy people. Nothing too perminate.
I think you see where this is going.
Okay, we start with an increasingly popular term. "Tebow Time". It, of course, refers to the apparent awesomeness that comes whenever Tim is around. Tebow Time. Now picture the words "Tebow Time" in a cute font. Like, say, font generally reserved for children's books.
No, we are not done.
I started with the clip from Napolean Dynamite because the main character likes to draw. But he's not too good at it.
This is what my friend at Puppatoons would call "nephew art". Art done by someone's nephew but passed off as being good. Granted that was in a movie, but you've seen nephew art in the real world and you know exactly what I'm talking about. On a mural somewhere, maybe at a pizza place. One of those paintings you see and think "I hope they didn't pay someone to do that! It looks like someone's nephew did it." You know. Nephew art.
Still with me?
Now, picture a centaur.
Wait for it. Don't beat me to the payoff.
Last thing to mention before we get to the meat of this post. Have you read some of the posts I've done about the ice girls of the NHL? In particular, have you seen the one about the LA Kings Ice Crew? They are sponsored by Rocco's Old School Tattoo Balm.

So if you want to keep this looking good...
...go get some Rocco's.
We now have all the elements to properly show you what someone did to their body.
Tim Tebow. The words "Tebow Time" in child-like handwriting. The artwork of Napolean Dynamite. A centaur. And tattoos.
Throw them in a blender and you get...
No, that is not a joke.
I can only assume they lost a bet. Or he (and possibly the tattoo artist) were drunk.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not strictly anti-tattoo. I'm not a huge fan as a general rule, but there are certain places where it works.
A really awesome creation.
Something with personal meaning.
A tattoo of celebrity or sports figure in the genesis of their professional career is not the time to immortalize them on your person. And if you do, maybe not a good idea to do it as a combination of himself and the team mascot where he got his start. But, if you do decide to do that, may I suggest getting someone besides your nephew to do the artwork. And don't add a catch-phrase.
Just a suggestion.
