Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson got a massive back tattoo this offseason. On Wednesday morning, photos of his new ink surfaced on social media
Watson’s girlfriend, Jilly Anais, will now travel with him everywhere he goes. That’s because he got her face tattooed near his left shoulder blade.
Additionally, Watson had Martin Luther King Jr.’s face tattooed on his lower back. It appears that MLK is wearing a hat that says, “I have a dream.”
Outside of the faces tattooed on his back, Watson paid homage to his hometown, mother, and championship rings. He left one blank, which could be his way of saying he’ll eventually get a Super Bowl ring.
Andres Ortega, the tattoo artist who worked on Watson’s back, told TMZ it took nine hours to complete this. He received a signed jersey as a gift.

NFL fans appear to have mixed feelings about Watson’s back tattoo. At the end of the day, it shouldn’t impact how he performs this upcoming season.
Watson is entering his third year with the Browns. He finished last season with 1,115 passing yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions.
The Browns are hoping Watson can return to his Pro Bowl form this fall. They’re certainly paying him to be an elite quarterback.
