This understated fellow, to whom I was introduced by the leggy vixen at This Suit Is Not Black, is Glenn Timmerman, the self-proclaimed World's Biggest Bears Fan. Yes, that's a Bears logo tattooed in his head. Yes, that's Mike Ditka's signature below it. And yes, those are autographs of 44 present and former Bears. I don't know what else to say here, so I'll leave the words to Glenn:
Why the Tattoos? That has to be the Question that I hear the most. My answer is that I'm a Die-Hard fan, that wasn't happy just wearing the t-shirt with the Bears logo on it. To show my team colors. I wanted to show mine all the time.
And I won't even buy a Seahawks jersey (although I do have Seahawks memorial liver-scarring). Alas, one Bears tattoo, as you know, is never enough.
[T]he next step was a little more bold! I shaved my head bald, which was a big deal since i actually looked good with hair… before you know it I was walking out with the tattoo on my head. Now I was getting the responses that I wanted. everyone that saw it was amazed and had to stop me to let me know how cool it was.
Amazed? Yes. Cool? Uhhhh… me and Glenn must hang with different crowds. And I'm gonna go ahead and bet that his crowd is a little tougher.
Oh, and Glenn? The head tattoo isn't regrettable. But Rex Grossman's signature*? Really? The Sex Cannon? Buddy, c'mon. Those tattoos are permanent.
*Grossman's signature, I believe, is "INT." Zing!


ya, so what was that thing we used to get back in the day……pussy, he’ll take or shall i say “needs” some of that too
matt, no pictures of hot girls today? i fully expect a very good power rankings post to make up for such a folly
Maybe I’m expecting a bit too much grammar from a guy with a tattoo on his head, but c’mon: Who capitalizes “Tattoos,” “Question” and “Die-Hard” but not “t-shirt”?
Say what you will about Bears fans; at least they’re dedicated. Can you imagine, say, a Falcons fan doing this? “Hey, is that Ray Perkins’ autograph on your adam’s apple?” “Why, yes… yes it is.”
I can understand a man who has served with an organization getting the USMC or an EGA tattoo. Or a Ranger Tab or SF tattoo. Or a S.E.A.L. tattoo. You know, organizations that are honorable and of which they have been a member. But seriously, a guy getting a team tattoo is like a non-Marine getting a Marine tattoo to show his support for the Devil Dogs.
I promise you that guy sleeps in either a bunk bed or a water bed.
