This is apparently the season of Premier League soccer fans getting red-card-worthy tattoos.
We're just a few weeks into the season that's already seen not one, but two West Ham fans ink themselves with corporeal commemorations following big wins. But -- thanks to a Manchester City fan who would not be outdone -- we now have a new clubhouse leader for Best/Craziest Premier League Tattoo of 2015.

Let's start at the beginning.
In early August, a West Ham supporter got a tattoo on his butt to honor the club's season-opening upset victory over Arsenal. His derriere now features the date and score of the match, as well as the names of West Ham's two goal-scorers on the day, and when they found the net.
Fast forward two weeks. Late August. West Ham scores another big win, this time away at Liverpool. A different West Ham fan gets a very similar tattoo, although on his forearm instead.
Now we have the Manchester City fan who apparently couldn't even wait for a magical 2015 moment to inspire his fresh ink. Instead, he turned the clock back to 2012. Behold this tattoo honoring one of the most famous Premier League moments of all time.
Loving my new tattoo and will do even more when it doesn't feel so hot lol. #mcfc #together pic.twitter.com/vnSLo2WF71— Manchester City Bear (@mancitybear) September 10, 2015
That's a big tattoo. If you're not clear just what it all means though, here's the deal: At the end of the 2011-2012 season, City's Sergio Aguero scored a last-minute goal against Queens Park Rangers in the final match of the season to secure the club's first-ever Premier League title. Adding to the legend, his score gave City the championship over hated crosstown rival Manchester United.
Calling the game for Sky Sports, Martin Tyler completely lost his mind:
That's a hell of a call for a hell of a moment, right? (The correct response is "yes.")
Whether it's worth getting tattooed onto your body until the end of time, however, is a separate question we'll let you answer.
