The Coolest And Craziest Tattoos We Found For Every Power 5 College Team

We know just how die-hard college sports fans can be. Some people are also very serious about their tattoos. Combine those two passions, and you get some pretty cool, and often crazy results.
We used social media to look for the best tattoos for all 65 "Power 5" college teams, and most fan bases did not disappoint. The Big Ten and SEC schools had some especially interesting ink, as you'd probably imagine. We also have some cool tattoos current and former athletes included in the mix.
If you think your team tattoo has one of these beat, let us know about it.
ACC Atlantic:
Boston College:
Josh Haden, a former BC running back, probably regrets this tattoo. He transferred from the program.
