Wearing jerseys and waving flags wasn’t enough for longtime Tennessee Titans fan Mitcht Firkins. He wanted a more permanent display of his love of the team.

So he got the Titans logo tattooed on his upper left arm. And then he just kept getting more ink.

Now the self-proclaimed No.1 Titans fan has 33 and counting Titans-themed tattoos to showcase his devotion to his favorite team.

“I’ve had people get on Facebook and say, ‘You can’t be the No. 1 Titans fan.’ Well, I don’t see anybody else getting tattoos like I’ve got,” said Firkins, who is from Kentucky.

Averaging a tattoo every few months, Firkins has added half of the Titans’ field on his back, a large “Tennessee Titans” in the middle of his back, a sword, AFC championship ring, the mascot T-Rac, the team plane on his right forearm, a helmet, a Steve McNair portrait on his right calf, a Marcus Mariota portrait on his left calf, the different Titans’ stadium names, “Touchdown Titans” on his stomach, “No. 1 Titans fan’ on his chest and many others.

But his favorite remains the now infamous “2017 AFC South Champions” tattoo on his right arm that caused Firkins to go viral on the internet and earn a quick spot on ESPN and NFL Total Access.

How did the rest of the Titans’ faithful react?

“Some of them liked it. Some of them said, ‘I’m probably going to jinx the Titans,’” said Firkins.

“I’m not jinxing the Titans. They are going to win the division this year. That’s just the bottom line.”

Once Firkins can get it scheduled with his tattoo artist, he will be adding the Titans caravan bus likely to his thigh and eventually he will get portraits of “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith and Titans’ broadcast team member Amie Wells beneath his “Touchdown Titans” tattoo on his stomach.

“I’m a long way from done with the tattoos, I’ve got more to get,” he said.

As for how many more, Firkins has a simple answer.

“'Til I run out of room.”
