Johnny Manziel Hangs With Justin Bieber, Gets Really Stupid Tattoo

To anyone who has been following Johnny Manziel’s painfully prolonged skid into the gutter over the last few years, it should come as absolutely no surprise that he didn’t spend the weekend at home fretting over his employment (or lack thereof) status.

Three weeks removed from being cut by the Cleveland Browns, who burned a first round draft pick on the former Heisman winner in 2014, and Manziel’s boozy tour of the West shows no signs of stalling. In the last week alone he’s been spotted clubbing in Las Vegas and hanging courtside at a Lakers game in Los Angeles.

Over the weekend Manziel continued to make a strong case to the NFL that he is unemployable by hanging out with the Canadian plague known as Justin Bieber and getting what is, perhaps, the sorriest excuse for tattoo the sports world has ever seen. Not necessarily the worst ink ever, just the lamest.

Manziel initially posted a photo of his new tattoo on Instagram sometime before dawn Sunday morning, before deleting it the following afternoon. Meaning he posted it on the tail end of a weeks-long bender, immediately regretting the decision when he woke up and saw that it was met with near universal mockery and scorn from commenters.

Thankfully someone at the Houston Chronicle had the foresight to screen capture the image for posterity.

LA-based tattoo artist Rafael Valdez also captured the moment on a photo he posted to Instagram, presumably to brag about his famous client. Manziel appears to be either extremely relaxed by being repeatedly jabbed with a needle or straight passed the hell out.

As for the ink itself? Well, that goofy tall crown is the Rolex logo—like the watches. And the Roman numerals XII*VI*XCII would be 12-6-92 in regular numerals, which happens to be Manziel’s birthday. So yeah…a corporate logo and his own birthday.

The worst part is that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is probably out getting the same tattoo right now.
