Native to Cincinnati, the Bengal Tiger still stalks its prey at night, when the sun goes down, and he stadium lights turn on... especially on Monday nights, Sunday nights, and sometimes Thursdays.

Cleveland Browns Tattoo

This 33 man brawl was one the most infamous moments in Browns history. And, because there hasn't been much to celebrate for Browns fans in recent memory, this tattoo celebrates it. On your next vacation in Cleveland remember don't mess with the Browns, because when it comes to fights, "The Browns are downs."

Pittsburgh Steelers Tattoo

As Charles Barkley would say, "Those towels are Turrible!". These towels are as famous in Pittsburg as Turry Bradshaw. A football legacy built with steel, and 60/40 poly cotton blend.

AFC South Tattoos

Houston Texans Tattoo

"In Watt we trust" This Texans tattoo honors the man, and living legend, of Mr. JJ Watt, the most famous Texan since the hero's of the Alamo. Sure, there are other Huston Texans tattoo ideas, but arguably none more handsome.

Indianapolis Colts Tattoo

This Indianapolis Colts tattoo is Papa Johns approved (Peyton Manning requires anyone referencing the Colts to also mention "Papa Johns, better ingredients, better price!" or face a lawsuit.) Look at that colt, looks like one of his receivers dropped a pass.

Jacksonville Jaguars Tattoo

95' - infinity, this Jacksonville Jaguars tattoo is perfect for any hardcore Jags fan. Another expansion team that has a fair amount of success, making sure that all their fans and players are in a "good place".  Let me just say, if you have had someone like Blake Bortles as part of your franchise, you can't lose.

Tennessee Titans Tattoo

The only "ten I see" is this rad, and very Tennessee style, Titans tattoo. And just like the Titans of Greek Myth, I'm sure having a super braggadocious name won't come back to bite them in the butt, or belly...

AFC West Tattoos

Denver Broncos Tattoo

This is a beautiful, yet powerful, tattoo idea for any Denver Broncos fan. The iconic Broncos logo with the majestic Colorado rockies in the background. The only things missing are a craft beer, an edible, and a hipster wearing a fedora.

Kansas City Chiefs Tattoo

The mighty arrowhead and the Kansas City logo are the backbone of any great Chiefs tattoo. Just as the arrowhead was the key to success in hunting many years ago, the Football quarterback, hunting for yardage, needs the right tools to succeed. Or, they can say screw it and enjoy some top notch BBQ. A real KC masterpiece.

Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders are the nomads of the NFL. Just like the pirate on their logo, the blackhole travels from city to city creating chaos. Do they always win? No. Are they always fun to watch? Yes. Do their colors, logo, and mentality, make for badass tattoos? 110% Yes!

Los Angeles Chargers

No, their logo isn't telling you your phone is at 100%. It's telling you it's about to get electric on the field! This Chargers logo tattoo is perfect for a fan who wants a tattoo that is traditional, yet "shocking".

Philadelphia Eagles Tattoo

With fans that can love you one minute and hate you the next, it can be hard out there for an Eagle. This Philadelphia Eagles tattoo attempts to remember the good times, when it seemed to be "Always Sunny", when people sung songs about their wide receivers, legends, gods among men, like Jason Avant.

Washington Commanders Tattoo

The Washington Redskins are dead, this tattoo shows that we are bringing in a new era with the Washington Commanders. This Washington football tattoo is definitely one of the best things to come out of Washington in quite a while.

NFC North Tattoos

Chicago Bears Tattoo

"Da Bears!" are the next tattoo on our NFL football tattoos list, and this Bears tattoo is perfect. First, it's a bear. Second, it's rocking a an 85' super bowl ring. And third, most importantly in my opinion, he's eating Chicago style pizza.

Detroit Lions Tattoo

Just like the proud lion that is their namesake, the Detroit Lions always come roaring back, even if that means going from 0 wins to 2 wins. The Detroit Lions tattoo below combines the D with the lion for some real Motor City pride.

Green Bay Packers Tattoo

Cheese and football, even from the perspective of non-wisconsinites this sounds like a pretty good life. The Green Bay Packers tattoo looks like a patch on the skin. It's real trip, so you know it will be approved by ayahuasca advocate Aaron Rodgers.

Minnesota Vikings Tattoo

Maybe the most appropriately located NFL team name the Minnesota Vikings.(Real vikings came from coldest place on earth, and the only place colder is Minnesota). This Vikings logo tattoo is perfect for enjoying the game with a nice bottle of pop.

Atlanta Falcons Tattoo

The dirty birds, the Hotlanta Falcons. Seeming to always have a roster full of high flying players that cycle in and out, the Flacons is a very apt name. The tattoo below is a perfect combo of many Atlanta football elements.

Carolina Panthers Tattoo

The newest team in the NFC, the Carolina Panthers are still building a fanbase. This means there are not many Panthers tattoos. As a Panthers fan this means you could be the first to get a cool panthers tattoo. Because this is the best I could find, an exact copy of the logo. Do better Panthers fans...

artist unknown, let us know so we can link

New Orleans Saints Tattoo

Just like the Panthers above, the saints haven't been a good team long enough for people to get many Saints tattoos. Luckily, the Saints logo is one of the coolest in the NFL. Hopefully we see more cool Saint tattoos soon.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tattoo

How much does it cost a pirate to pierce his ear? A buck-an-ear! This Tampa Bay Bucs tattoo is perfect for the swashbuckling fan. And, is it just me, or does that buccaneer look like Tom Brady with a mustache?

San Francisco 49ers Tattoo

This San Francisco 49ers tattoo has their iconic SF logo accompanied by, the just as iconic, city scape of the city by the bay. This tattoo really whisks you away... you can almost imagine watching the sunset, while sharing a sourdough bread-bowl with your lover, enjoying the romance of the city, while a homeless man takes a dump on the sidewalk next to you...

Seattle Seahawks Tattoo

You would think that the loudest people in a city award would go to NYC, but you would be wrong. Seattle takes the top spot as the most obnoxious football fans. But, Seahawks fans wear this label like a badge of honor, even ordaining themselves their own position... the 12th man!
