Laine calls it 'unreal' to have his idol Selanne tweet about him



Sports fans are always finding ways to show love for their favourite team and players. From wearing their jerseys and other merchandise to permanently inking something related to the team or players on their body, sports fans show their passion and admiration in many different ways.

Some of the greatest moments in sports have been turned into a permanent piece of art on someone’s body and now we have another iconic moment to add to the ever-growing list. If you’re a hockey fan you’re most likely familiar with Teemu Selanne’s famous goal celebration when he shot down his glove the night he set the NHL rookie goal record with his 54th marker of the season.



Well, one fan went ahead and had that moment inked on their body.

The tattoo was done in Winnipeg by Jesse Fisecki and it’s a piece that any Jets fan, old or young, will definitely get a kick out of.



This was a tattoo that was just finnish’ed in @cityofwinnipeg, capturing the six gun celebration of the very moment @TeemuSel8nne aka “The Finnish Flash” shattered the @NHL rookie scoring record in 1993, while he was still a rookie with the @NHLJets 🏒

The man himself, Teemu Selanne, came across the piece and he clearly seems to be a fan of the work.



If you have any sports related tattoos we’d love to see them and feature them in an upcoming #BarDownINK piece. Feel free to shoot us a picture or video in our DMs, or send an email to christian.marin@bellmedia.ca.
