Former University of Michigan football coach, Jim Harbaugh, has kept his word and fulfilled his promise to get a tattoo commemorating the Wolverines' national championship win in January. Following Michigan's victory over Washington in the title game, Harbaugh revealed that he had made a pact with his team to get inked if they finished the season undefeated. With a perfect 15-0 record, Harbaugh wasted no time in honoring his commitment.
The tattoo was completed by Stephen Bateman, a tattoo artist based in Michigan. Harbaugh, who had never had any tattoos before, expressed his dedication to his players, saying, "I have no ink on my body. No tattoos anywhere, but I did say that to our players. I said if we go 15-0, I'm getting a tattoo. It's 15-0."
As for the placement of the tattoo, Harbaugh mentioned that he intends to have it on his shoulder, though he is undecided whether it will be on his left or right side. Considering his history as a right-handed quarterback, it is likely that he will opt for his right shoulder.
This tattoo holds special significance for Michigan football as well. The Wolverines made history earlier in the season by becoming the first college football program to achieve 1,000 wins. This milestone was reached with a 31-24 victory over Maryland in the penultimate week of the regular season. With subsequent victories against Ohio State, Iowa, Alabama, and finally, Washington, Michigan's total win count now stands at an impressive 1,004.
Harbaugh's decision to get this tattoo not only showcases his commitment to his team and their exceptional season but also serves as a testament to the historic achievements of the Michigan football program. The Wolverines can now proudly boast a national championship and an undefeated season, cementing their place in college football history.
No details have been revealed yet regarding the design of Harbaugh's tattoo, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the unveiling. Nonetheless, this act of loyalty and celebration by the now-head coach of the San Diego Chargers will surely be remembered as a defining moment in his coaching career.
As Michigan continues to bask in the glory of their outstanding season, Harbaugh's tattoo stands as a lasting symbol of triumph and sets a high standard for future Wolverines teams.
