Overzealous Alabama fan pays $1,700 for equally overzealous tattoo

Let’s just say Zack Smartt is failing at living up to his name. A huge University of Alabama fan, Smartt recently sat under a needle for three sessions totaling 10.5 hours at an Atlanta tattoo shop, earning a spot on the All-Time Worst Tattoos Ever team when the work was completed. Smartt paid $1,700 for a back tat of the Alabama elephant mascot literally enveloped by a crimson tide (or an ocean spray of cranberry juice). It’s something you might do after rocking out to Lynyrd Skynyrd while eating mushrooms and watching a replay of the most recent BCS Championship Game. By the way, Smartt’s alma mater? Middle Tennessee State. [Source]
