Lauren Philpot, a devoted New York Giants fan, is the woman behind the viral tattoo of Jason Kelce in the nude, and no, she’s not switching teams.
In fact, she got the eye-catching ink as the result of a bet she lost to her husband during the 2022-23 NFL season. And for her, it was all worth it.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce give young fans the gift of a lifetime
“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.”
While it might surprise some that a Giants supporter would voluntarily wear a Philadelphia Eagles legend on her body forever, Lauren insists there’s no bad blood.
In fact, she’s a fan of Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie, and says she has a lot of respect for the team.
“Although I’m a Giants fan, I have a lot of respect for the Eagles and what they are like as a team,” she said. “So, who else am I going to put on my arm? Jason Kelce.”
How the Kelce tattoo became a viral moment
The tattoo itself took about three to three-and-a-half hours to complete. Lauren says she doesn’t remember the exact cost, but it was affordable and worth every penny for the story alone.
She even saw Kelce’s reaction and hopes he took it all in good humor.
Her tattoo features Kelce in the now-iconic pose from the Eagles’ locker room celebration, where he posed nearly nude with a Super Bowl-worthy smirk.
As viral tattoos go, it checks every box: absurd, unforgettable, and oddly endearing.
But here’s the kicker, Kelce isn’t the only NFL player Lauren has inked.
She also has a tattoo of Gardner Minshew’s famous mustache. Her body art may say Eagles and Colts, but her heart stays loyal to the Giants.
What’s next in the Philpot household?
The Jason Kelce ink might be the headline-grabber, but Lauren and her husband are already planning their next NFL season bet, and it could involve more tattoos.
“We usually ask people, our friends, and stuff, or maybe take a poll on Facebook,” she said.
“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.”
For Lauren, it’s all in good fun. Whether she ends up with another piece of NFL-inspired body art or something even more outrageous, one thing’s for sure, football season in the Philpot household is never boring.
And for Jason Kelce? It’s just another reminder that his legend continues to grow, even in ink, on a rival fan’s arm.

NLDS Game 3: Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong’s critical hit gives Chicago new life
CHICAGO — Pete Crow-Armstrong is as emotional a player as there is in baseball. There’s no hiding what’s going on in his head. When there’s a tough strikeout or pop out in a big moment, it takes all of his power to hold back from slamming a bat or helmet, sometimes both.But when Crow-Armstrong comes through for the team, the energy is both equal and opposite. In Wednesday night’s 4-3 victory for the Cubs to stave off elimination against the Brewers in the best-of-five National League Division Series, Crow-Armstrong’s two-out, two-RBI single was the type of momentum-shifting hit that Chicago has been searching for this series.AdvertisementCrow-Armstrong let out a yell when he reached first.
