TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians made good on his word when he promised that when (not if) the Bucs won the Super Bowl, he would get a tattoo.
Arians, 68, tweeted out the photo Tuesday with, "I'm a man of my word -- 'When we win the Super Bowl, I will get a tattoo.' Well I got mine and I love it!! #SBLV"

The tattoo features the Super Bowl LV logo with the Lombardi trophy, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo and the final score, 31-9.
"I followed up on my bet, and I'm really, really happy with it too," Arians said of the new ink.
He made the bet with the strength staff and tight ends coach Rick Christophel back in August.
Arians' son Jake Arians told ESPN that his family knew about the bet and loves that this was his first tattoo.
"I think it's awesome. Forty-plus years of blood, sweat, tears and passion went into that," Jake Arians said. "People get tattoos with far less meaning or importance every day. For this to be his first is pretty badass."
Arians may have inspired some of his players to get their own Super Bowl tattoos, with running back Ronald Jones II and cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting each saying they're next in line.
Wide receiver Mike Evans and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. are some Bucs players who have already gotten their own championship ink.
