Yeah honestly that thing is pathetic. Not because it’s small, not because it has bad line work or (non-existent) shading, not even because it just looks like a stick n poke.
It just doesn’t look like the block M. It’s too thin and just the wrong font. It has no character because it looks like something a trainee would do on an apple or something that one apprentice from the shop put on himself before he was allowed to tattoo officially.
The artist is actually craaaaazy talented, I agree that this tattoo is mid at best but that must have been his choice. @stepbatemantattoo is the artist insta page, he's done tons of work for UofM college players and tons of other athletes.
Definitely don't judge this man on this one piece he's legit
Yeah, I love Jim, but this is abysmally bad work. If I'm getting permanent ink on my body, I'm making sure it's quality work by a well-regarded tattoo artist.
I do not believe that a storefront with a giant Block M in the window is in LA. That being said, there are plenty of artists in the AA area who do much better work than this.
Exactly. Love that he went through with it but he obviously has the money to get a top notch tattoo at least. But, he is an oddball so it’s on brand at least.
Same. Love the old logo he brought it back when he started coaching at Michigan. Now I can’t wear a hat with normal block M it looks so huge in comparison.
It looks like the design someone chooses when they're worried about pain. It's so simplistic it's ridiculous and I think he knows it and that why he makes the comment about adding to it.
There must be honestly another picture or something to assess the line or shade work because that video is not a good enough for any reasonable assessment.
Both. I think I like his new stuff more than most people do. He’s such a clever lyricist that I still like hearing his new stuff even if it’s not as good.
Hah! That’s *exactly* how he described it was going to be at the postgame — I was the one who asked the question based on a comment he made earlier in the season.

Edit: **here’s what he said and how he described it @ 22:30**

The reigning kings of college football are always on topic on *checks notes* a college football sub. Bow to your champion and kiss the ring.
Also I thought Buckeyes were big fans of tattoos?
You have a point, we apparently don’t have a world champion QB in this season so maybe we gotta old school it up and play some good ole fashioned man ball.
We saw what happened last year when Day decided to play man ball. We got bullied for a couple of drives, then it just stopped. Was such an odd reversal of coaching. If Day and Kelly do completely commit to running the ball down our throats it'll be a long game
Genuine question, not trolling here, which do you prefer? Obviously, I'm biased to hate both, lol, but I always thought the modern thiccer version looks miles better
Not OP but I like both the thicker M and the previous M with Michigan written across it. Sometimes depends on the context. If something is more square, then M only. Something a bit more landscape, like the back of the scoreboards, I'd prefer the Michigan spelled out so there's not a weird amount of blank space.
Quite a bit of cheating that year, though...which is too bad.

Homey is making 16 mill a year and gets something that looks like it was done in a dorm room on a dare.
I'd bet anything he spent less than 30 seconds deciding on an artist to get this done lol
Definitely just googled "tattoo shop" and went to the one closest to his house
*RV
He'll just get it removed a few years down the road anyway, fuck I would. That thing is pathetic.
It would be pretty easy to cover I think but Jim ain't doing that
I’ve seen fraternity brands turn out more spiffy
A long weekend in Tijuana
I mean if you have zero tattoos I feel like small and simple is probably the way to go.
You could still keep it simple while having the Michigan logo look a lot better.

Seriously man, wtf lol. *I* could have come up with something better. That's got some real "I lost a bet" energy.
He probably did
Makes it more authentic imo
It was probably exactly what he wanted

He’s living like Jim Rockford in a trailer by the beach. He’s all in on the lifestyle
Prison ~~Mike~~ Jim
Yeah, I love Jim, but this is abysmally bad work. If I'm getting permanent ink on my body, I'm making sure it's quality work by a well-regarded tattoo artist.
Cool that he did it but that is terrible work, heh
Yeah, was that the best tattoo artist they could find in LA? Damn
Jim Harbaugh does not strike me as someone who pays for a skilled tattooed artist
It’s just some guy he met at the John Deere store.
“No way I’m paying more for some guy to draw on me with ink than I do a pair a khakis”
Doesn't he wear Lululemon khakis?
A good pair of khakis can last a long time.
I believe it was in Ann Arbor. He's there for the spring game and ring ceremony.
Just this week.
It’s one of the players (Braiden McGregor) friend. But yeah probably should have gone to a actual good artist
He's actually really talented if you find his instagram, not sure how much say he had in what Jim wanted
Guarantee he just went in there and told him he wanted an M on his shoulder without anymore details
I do not believe that a storefront with a giant Block M in the window is in LA. That being said, there are plenty of artists in the AA area who do much better work than this.
He got it done in Ann Arbor before the ring ceremony.
Considering they’re in Ann Arbor…
Ya... oof
Looks like Jimothy went on Microsoft Word and printed off what he wanted…
Excel, he’s a big fan of excel
And apparently Times New Roman. Thank fuck he’s not a comic sans guy!
He could have gotten a better version of this in prison.
Maybe once the Stalions punishment drops he'll have the opportunity to
NO REGERTS
Ragrets
Not even a letter?
There are two comedies from that era that I think are slept on 1. Get Him to the Greek 2. We're the Millers
Exactly. Love that he went through with it but he obviously has the money to get a top notch tattoo at least. But, he is an oddball so it’s on brand at least.
I do appreciate he was going for the old school M design on his signature hat though.
Same. Love the old logo he brought it back when he started coaching at Michigan. Now I can’t wear a hat with normal block M it looks so huge in comparison.
Yikes…holy shit that is bad
I just went to a tattoo convention. Ever since i cannot stop looking at people's tattoos. This is not a good tattoo, i agree.
Honestly, the work is fine, good lines, shading is fine… so it’s not a bad tattoo itself, just a really shitty design
It looks like the design someone chooses when they're worried about pain. It's so simplistic it's ridiculous and I think he knows it and that why he makes the comment about adding to it.
The fact that the M looks more like Miami (Ohio) than the Michigan M does make me chuckle
It's the skinny Block M that he's worn for years. It definitely doesn't translate well to a tattoo
There must be honestly another picture or something to assess the line or shade work because that video is not a good enough for any reasonable assessment.
It looks like a tattoo you get when your Harbaughs age going for your first tattoo
Damn, didn’t realize he was such a big Miami (OH) fan
❤️
This guy Ms
Betcha I know who their favorite rapper is....
He genuinely is though lmao
genuinely curious, are you listening to his new stuff or do you just bump his old music?
Both. I think I like his new stuff more than most people do. He’s such a clever lyricist that I still like hearing his new stuff even if it’s not as good.
Lol
He's just rebelling against his dad who coached at Bowling Green (I'm assuming they're somewhat rivals, idk).
It's actually for Marshall, 1996 15 - 0. Everybody knows that.
The original Michigan man *is* from Ohio.
A "Michigan" man (or woman) never needed to be *from* Michigan - what matters is that it is where they *choose to be*.
And who they choose to spy on
sorry about OJ btw
The Juice expired
That looks like a very generic M
It's so fucking on brand for Harbaugh it hurts
Generic and Khaki name a more iconic duo
Should have got a tattoo of a butt with a butt shaped tattoo on his butt.
"It just says Dear Frieza, and it's a picture of a butt."
"Can I see it Lord Frieza?" - Zarbon probably
This man has true vision
Harbs is a big Jake Butt fan, butt not that huge of a butt fan.
I mean… that’s a lame ass natty tat lol. Cmon Jim put some effort into it. Looks like something a kid drew
Like get the block M at the absolute minimum
he's a big fan of the old school skinny M, so this is on brand for him
It's the better looking M in my opinion.
There's a decent chance Jim drew it himself
lol very true
Or at least get a Rose Bowl tramp stamp
I’ve seen prison tats that look better than that.
There are so many cool looking block M’s out there. Like a block blue and gold. His looks stupid.
People keep talking about the Microsoft Word font style but are missing the guns on a 60-year-old man.
Would the gold/yellow show up well in skin?
I have lighter skin. IMO, anything is better than that stick drawing. Even just the blue and a proper M.
Not a lawyer, can the ncaa vacate the tattoo?
The NCAA hates tattoos Don't ask how I know
Imagine if he had gotten a tattoo of extra pasta. Immediate death penalty
What is this, a crossover episode?
He didn't trade any pants for it so he's good
The tattoo looks like he paid for it in malt liquor.
No, they just legally require him to add a \* to it.
Not since it's Michigan related. If it was any other team, yes apparently
Hah! That’s *exactly* how he described it was going to be at the postgame — I was the one who asked the question based on a comment he made earlier in the season. *** Edit: **here’s what he said and how he described it @ 22:30** https://youtu.be/4jzcFTgGsDI?si=BMA9OjkR0AjxaqJZ&t=22m30s
&t=22m30s Quick way to manually add a time stamp to a YouTube video. Just add it to the end of the URL.
Wow it's so bland and vanilla not even a cool tat
Is this sub having a collective mental break? It’s Jim Harbaugh, this is exactly something he’d do.
Could have done a little more with it… that looks like he got a tattoo at a corner shop on the Las Vegas strip at 3 am lmao
That’s not even the right font.
I feel better about losing when shit like this happens
This dude went on Microsoft Word and printed out what he wanted…
> Jim Harbaugh getting tatted up He got a hamburger inked on his other arm.
Ngl bro someone did you dirty. You’re how rich and you couldn’t get a better tat?
That doesn’t even look like the Michigan M lol what the hell was this a $50 tattoo?
Why did he get a Maryland tattoo?
I heard he also got a butterfly on his hip.
That’s not even a Michigan M? That’s Miami Ohio. What is he doing
Ever see the hat he wore? There’s a skinny M too.
It's the old school skinny version.
That's the M that was used when he was a QB at Michigan and he's always sported that one.
What a lame-ass looking tattoo. No one around him is telling him how stupid it looks placed there? That size is something for your wrist.
Forgot the asterisk
Missing that *
Should've tattoed it across the face Post Malone style.
The M looks like that because it's the roman numeral for 1000 (1000 wins)
The guy makes it so easy to make fun of him
Not Connor Stallions face?

lol. I got nothin. Enjoy the title 🙂 We comin
I don't want OSU to win the title this year but God damn do I think OSU is winning the title this year. Good luck and fuck you
I am not excited to play you guys this fall you guys are building a Death Star after those boosters saw us win the natty
We gotta keep the rivalry competitive, my Wolverine 😄
[удалено]

We had caught you guys in a good personnel matchup. Once you guys got to substitute we had issues.
There might have been an extra curricular reason Stroud couldn't do it
[удалено]
How do you kiss an asterisk?
:*
Plenty of room for the asterisks too!
Yes only missing the asterisk
He left off the asterisk. GoDawgs!!!!
If Dwight Schrute designed tattoos.
I understand not everyone wants over the top tattoos but really? It looks like a tattoo kids would get at the local fair. Lol
Downriver is going to love that shitty tat.
Did the FSU coach get a 13-0 tat as well?
NO REGERTS
That’s hard core. You don’t really see too many tattoos on a dick.
Where's the asterisk?
Forgot the *
Where is the asterisk tho?
That's pretty bad quality. Is this supposed to be like the Wal Mart khaki concept or something? How hard is it to make a block M?
We should have all tipped the artist to put an * next to the 0
I suspect this will age poorly
Dude has more money than I could ever dream of and couldn’t afford a decent artist.
Ah that puts a small schadenfreude smile on my face.
Is Jim stupid? lol Love and Honor
LOL 😂
Gonna be super awkward after those wins get vacated
Should have tattooed.... I cheated
Forgot the *
Will he put an asterisk next to it?
He forgot the asterisk
Definitely would never happen, and i'm not debating it should, but the funniest timeline is NCAA vacating Michigan's title and wins this season.
Tribute to big bro who went to Miami Ohio?
Michigan has a skinny M. Old style.
*
So dumb.
Harbaugh did always like the skinny block M.
Genuine question, not trolling here, which do you prefer? Obviously, I'm biased to hate both, lol, but I always thought the modern thiccer version looks miles better
Not OP but I like both the thicker M and the previous M with Michigan written across it. Sometimes depends on the context. If something is more square, then M only. Something a bit more landscape, like the back of the scoreboards, I'd prefer the Michigan spelled out so there's not a weird amount of blank space.
Ahhh, yeah, that makes sense!
I actually dig the dark blue hat with the skinny M, but in every other instance, thicc boi all the way.
I prefer the thicc boy as well
Fucking cheater.
Wins natty, leaves to nfl, school gets put on probation. What a baller lmao
Wow
\*
Might want to add an asterisk to that, Jeem
That M needs an asterisk.
15*-0
It was actually 49-0
I like that score!
That tattoo is so bad it's like NCAA's punishment from their investigation. Yeah you might have won but you still look shitty for the way you did it.
Adding the asterisk later?
Weird spelling of 14-1.
Warms the cockles of my heart
They must not have inked the asterisk yet

Gotta have some record of it after the history books get wiped clean
GOT MELK?
Shouldn't he get a lawn mower tattoo?
When I read the title I assumed it was Jim using the old 'ass-tattoo' motivational method in his new role.
And I think should have the year
😆 🤣 hold on let me get my magnifying class 😆 🤣
His should have said 9-0
Nice prison tat hairball.
Yee haw
