Not an Eagles fan but still got a naked Jason Kelce tattoo? This woman explains her wild reason

Lauren Philpot might bleed blue as a loyal New York Giants fan, but her skin now proudly bears a viral tribute to a Philadelphia Eagles legend—Jason Kelce, in the nude. And no, she’s not jumping ship.The story behind the ink isn’t about team allegiance. It’s about a wild bet she made with her husband during the 2022-23 NFL season—one she lost, and paid for with permanent body art. “This is who I am as a person – a bet is a bet,” Philpot told TMZ Sports. “If I get it covered up, I still went through with it. No, I don’t care. It’s a funny story. It’s something that my husband and I like to do.”

Why this woman chose Jason Kelce’s naked body for a tattoo will leave you speechless

The tattoo, which shows Kelce in his now-iconic locker room celebration pose—nearly nude and all smiles—took roughly three to three-and-a-half hours to complete.

While Lauren doesn’t recall the exact cost, she insists it was affordable and more than worth it for the laughs and the story that came with it.

Even more surprising than the ink itself is Philpot’s continued loyalty to the Giants. Despite the design featuring a division rival, she holds no bitterness. “Although I’m a Giants fan, I have a lot of respect for the Eagles and what they are like as a team,” she explained. “So, who else am I going to put on my arm? Jason Kelce.”

Kelce himself saw the tattoo making the rounds online and reacted with good humor. Initially unsure, he posted, “I’m not sure if I should be offended or flattered.” But after sitting with it for a while, he responded with, “I think it’s more flattered… it’s a generous bird, good-sized head.”Philpot said she saw the post and hopes Kelce understands it was all done in admiration. Interestingly, he’s not the only NFL player she’s had permanently inked on her body.

She also sports Gardner Minshew’s iconic mustache above one of her knees—an equally quirky tribute to another colorful character in the league.

As for what’s next? The Philpots are already cooking up another bet for the 2025-26 NFL season, and the stakes might once again involve tattoos. “We usually ask people, our friends, and stuff, or maybe take a poll on Facebook,” she shared. “I am open to it, whether it’s a tattoo or if I have to take [my husband] somewhere, vice versa.

I’m open to whatever.”In a world where NFL fandom often turns heated, Lauren Philpot has managed to keep things light, fun, and just a little bit outrageous. And thanks to a bet gone viral, Jason Kelce’s legacy now includes a place in tattoo history—on the arm of a Giants fan, no less.Also Read: The real reason Patrick Mahomes keeps winning—Chiefs QB reveals what pushes him every single day
