Dan Thomas, a passionate England fan, has made a bold move by getting a tattoo ahead of the Euro 2024 final. He is confident that the Three Lions will emerge victorious and has already declared it by getting the words 'England Euro 2024 winners' permanently etched on his leg. Dan, who hails from Swindon, Wiltshire, is so sure of England's success that he has already started celebrating and even has an open top bus ready for the victory parade.
While most people will be eagerly watching the game tonight, Dan doesn't feel the need to do so. In his mind, the outcome of the match is already decided - it's coming home. He is so confident in Gareth Southgate's team that he has even included the European Championship trophy in his tattoo, before the game has even begun. When asked about his decision, Dan, who works as a data consultant, said that he wanted to avoid the rush of getting the tattoo after the game if England wins.
"I'm pretty confident," Dan said with a smile. "I truly believe it will happen. I wouldn't have gone through with it if I didn't have faith in the team. I think it will be a close game, maybe 1-1, but we will eventually win 2-1 in extra time."
Dan's tattoo was done at Reign Barbers and Tattoo parlour in Swindon, where his friend Jack Wilkinson owns the shop. Jack, who initially thought it was a joke, was surprised when Dan actually went ahead and got the tattoo. He even warned Dan that if England loses, they will not cover up the tattoo for at least a year. But Dan's positive attitude and confidence in the team convinced everyone that he truly believes in England's victory.
The artist who tattooed the European Championship trophy on Dan's leg, Tinashe Chikereman, admitted that he had to triple-check with Dan if he really wanted the tattoo. "I couldn't believe it when he said he wanted it, but he was adamant," Tinashe said. "Hats off to him for showing such faith in the team."
This isn't the first time Dan has considered getting a similar tattoo. He was also tempted to get one in 2021, before England's defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley. But this time, he didn't let his doubts get in the way and went ahead with his decision. He even live-streamed the tattooing process on TikTok, with 42,000 people tuning in to watch.
When asked if he had any regrets about getting the tattoo, Dan confidently replied, "No way! England is going to win, and I'll proudly show off my tattoo to everyone." He even joked that it was better to get it done before the queues start on Monday, as he is certain that England will be crowned as champions.
As the final approaches, Dan's tattoo has become a topic of discussion among football fans. Some believe it's a bold move, while others think it might be the kiss of death for England's chances. But Dan remains unfazed and is eagerly waiting for the game to start. Will his tattoo be the perfect prediction, or will it turn out to be a bad omen? We will find out tonight between 10 and 11 pm. Let's hope Dan's confidence and faith in the team are not misplaced. Go Three Lions!
