An England supporter has altered a tattoo marking a World Cup victory by adding the words “just joking” after the team failed to win.
Sean Carrington said he was more troubled by England not lifting the trophy than by the tattoo. The amendment turns the original message into a self-deprecating reflection on the outcome.
The available details do not specify when Carrington originally had the tattoo done, where it is on his body, or which World Cup the tattoo referred to. No further information has been provided about the design beyond the addition of the phrase “just joking”.
Carrington’s response suggests the disappointment of England’s result outweighed any embarrassment over the body art. The latest known position is that the tattoo has been changed to acknowledge the failed prediction rather than removed.
