Athletes generally seem to love tattoos, and Lions WR Chaz Schilens is no different. CBS Sports is reporting that Schilens spent time this off season getting a giant back tattoo of a tiger. A tiger you may wonder. Doesn’t Schilens play for the Lions after all? Paula Pasche was able to catch it up close and she tweeted this:

So now that Schilens has placed a large Bengal tiger on his body, what will the Lions organization do? A trade to the Bengals is highly unlikely but would make the most sense to fit the player and tattoo with the right organization. Lions fans may also take offense, but that is Schilens’ burden to bare.
