Michigan fan gets ‘Saved by the Bell’ inspired Jim Harbaugh tattoo (Photo)

One Michigan fan loved Jim Harbaugh and Saved by the Bell so much that he got it tattooed on his leg.


Recent years have seen a rise in sports-inspired tattoos, I believe are done in part to gain some notoriety in various blogs and other mediums, but one Michigan fan took that to a whole new level with a Jim Harbaugh tattoo documenting his cameo on an episode of Saved by the Bell.

More than 20 years ago when Harbaugh was in the middle of his NFL career and playing for the Indianapolis Colts, he appeared on an episode of Saved by the Bell: The New Class as a relative of Screech. So, it’s not as cool as appearing on the real show with Zack, Slater, Kelly, Jessie, Lisa, Screech and Mr. Belding, but it’s still cool enough for @MarkTheNomad on Twitter to get the image permanently inked on his body.

He lived up to his word when he said he would get a tattoo of Harbaugh if he was hired as the Wolverines head coach, so he’s a man of his word, and he’s got a sense of humor to go with this image, rather than one of Harbaugh in his playing days at Michigan or even from his introductory press conference this winter.

If you’re too young to remember waking up on Saturday mornings and watching Saved by the Bell at 10 a.m. each weekend, then check out this clip to see Harbaugh the actor.
