Dude's New York Mets 'World Champs 2015' tattoo was probably a bad choice

It seemed like a good idea at the time?

The New York Mets lost the World Series to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday night, making Mets fans very sad. But one New York supporter has reason to be a little extra sad: He's now apparently stuck with a tattoo commemorating a Mets title that never happened.

Meet Josh Davis -- or @JDeezal, as he's known on Twitter. During the first game of the entire World Series, last Tuesday, Davis tweeted of plans to up the ante for a Mets championship.

Bout to make a bit of a risky move with my New York Mets— Josh Davis (@JDeezal) October 27, 2015

Hey, that's actually a pretty nice-looking piece:

Too soon?? Lol @JDeezal 's new tattoo @SportsCenter @espn @MLB #ConfidentMetsFan pic.twitter.com/XnUrq1tZF8— Kevin Hynson (@KevHyns) October 28, 2015

The night Davis got tatted, his Mets were busy blowing a ninth-inning lead to let the Royals win Game 1. The day after Davis got tatted, his Mets got creamed 7-1 to dig themselves a two-game deficit in the series. Four days after Davis got tatted, his Mets lost again after blowing another lead. Five days after Davis got tatted, his Mets lost the World Series.

But on the bright side, Davis now has a totally unique, one-of-a-kind keepsake that no one else has. And he could always just say the "NY" actually stands for Royals manager Ned Yost, right?

Davis admits to no regrets.

@samcmlaird Actually I don't, I've been a huge Mets fan my whole life. And whether I keep it wrong or fix it, I'll always love it.— Josh Davis (@JDeezal) November 2, 2015

Either way, perhaps American sports fans should borrow an idea from their British counterparts: At least wait to get regrettable commemorative tattoos until after the outcome has been decided.
