A 22-year-old Kentucky man who got a 2014 Kentucky “Nati9nal Champions” tattoo on his calf before the NCAA Tournament started is now just one win away from being a modern day Nostradamus instead of a complete idiot.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Tyler Austin Black walked into Vice & Virtue Tattoo Studio and paid $80 to have the bold prediction inked into his right calf on March 13 even though his beloved Wildcats had recently fallen out of the top 25.
Let’s be honest. With the NCAA Tournament still a week away and the SEC Tournament yet to start, the odds of Kentucky winning the national championship seemed about as slim as me being able to bed Kate Upton. But the 22-year-old machinist, who claims he was “sober as a bird” when he made the decision to get the tattoo, thought otherwise.
“The whole fan base had given up,” Black said. “I wanted to show I had faith. I went as hardcore as I could with the tattoo.”
The Wildcats began the tournament as the #8 seed in the Midwest region but are now just one win away from winning their ninth championship in school history. They’re also just one win away from turning this guy, who needed to borrow his friend’s mom’s car to get to the game, into a legend.
But if they lose, he’ll be near the top of this list: The Worst Tattoos in the World
