Retired NFL star Jason Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, gave a blunt and hilarious reaction to a fan’s viral tattoo of his son: a revealing pin-up style ink that has stirred laughs and disbelief across social media.
The tattoo, placed on a woman’s forearm, features Jason Kelce completely nude, posed in a cheeky pin-up position with only the Philadelphia Eagles mascot covering his private area.
The now-viral art was the result of a bet between married NFL fans: Lauren Philpot, a New York Giants supporter, and her husband, an Eagles fan. After losing the bet during the 2022-23 NFL season, Lauren followed through and got the tattoo.
Ed Kelce addressed the eyebrow-raising image during his recent guest appearance on “New Heights,” the popular podcast hosted by his sons Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
When the brothers showed their dad the tattoo, Ed immediately asked, “Did somebody actually do that? Permanently? That’s not a henna?”
His reaction didn’t stop there.
“F—ing looney,” he said, shaking his head as Jason Kelce laughed loudly. “I saw that on social media, and that’s cringeworthy. Even without it being on somebody’s arm, just the picture itself.”

Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce couldn’t contain their laughter. Jason Kelce joked that the artist “did me a solid,” while Travis Kelce added, “This might be the best you ever looked.”
Ed Kelce, clearly overwhelmed by the image, asked the crew to take it off the screen.
Jason Kelce had earlier reacted to the tattoo on X, writing, “I’m not sure if I should be offended or flattered.”

He later added, “I think it’s more flattered. It’s a generous bird, good-sized head.”
His wife, Kylie Kelce, was clearly stunned, commenting “Excuse me???” on the original video of the tattoo reveal.
As for Lauren, the woman behind the ink, she told TMZ, “This is who I am as a person, a bet is a bet… It’s a funny story.”
And a story that even the Kelces won’t forget anytime soon.
