Brett Keisel Tattoo

I have already posted this image so pardon the overkill if some of yinz see it as such. This genius art was created by the greatest portrait tattoo artist in the 412, Jason Angst

Star-divide

Jason is an accomplished oil painter and so wanted to translate those techniques from canvas to skin, he has worked on skin for 15+ years and all this cat does is win.  He swept the proverbial leg.

In a dead humdrum boring uncertain shite time of football limbo I hope this gets your blood flowing like it does mine.

I met a few cats from The Steelers Front Office on Saturday June 4 and they were stoked about this tat, like kids they gushed, it was pretty damned cool.  They even made some noise about arranging a meeting with Brett, if and when that happens yinz will be the first to know. Tical.

I must have seen this about 40 times between its inception and now, it’s still just as awesome.

1 Terrible Towel to you Mr Steeler

Why is the "football" not round and thrown around?

I wanna say it is an ugly tattoo, but that is pretty bad ass.

"No disrespect to Patrick Peterson and Prince Amukamara, but I just think I have better cover skills. They get tested a lot, and that’s for a reason. The other team sees something in their game that they want to attack, and me playing in the same league as Prince, we played the same teams and they didn’t attack me the same. So why does that happen?" - CB Jimmy Smith

Fan or no, the tattoo is badass.

No regrets in life, I live full and leave thinking to the suckers.

sorry - no offense intended

I just don’t like needles, and I get sick of things too quickly to have a permanent tattoo.

Pretty impressive though if you’re into that sort of thing.

I dig that. There is no getting around the pain, needles break the skin, it gets pretty intense. Ha!

But tattoo's aren't permanent

Tattoo’s are, in the scheme of things, very impermenant. Most art will easily outlive the artist but tattoo’s are gone when the owner goes.

If yinz type ‘Brett Keisel Tattoo’ into your serch engine there are plenty of sites where this badass tat is featured including a Yahoo! Video.

Pretty cool, pretty pretty cool.

What I don't get is

there’s a bunch of side-by-side comparisons (on Google Image Search) with your ink and a keisel pic…However, they use thisinstead of the actual picture the tat is made from.

I know

this was used by a trollop named Emma Carmichael of Deadspin whose angle is smarminess from behind her shite keyboard. Fair enough, she either quantified the owner of the tattoo (me) as an idiot based on her position as an contrarian OR she is a sour Jets fans because I think she is a NYer. Everybody is entitled to their shit opinions and mine is that she is a sad little cow.
