Alex Ovechkin is a Stanley Cup champion and pretty much everyone is jacked up about it. Especially his fans from back home.
Ovi took the Cup back to Moscow where he was greeted by friends, family, and civilians across the country to celebrate the win. One of his faithful fans included a gentlemen who already received a massive tattoo of the captain on his shoulder. Every single detail about this one is simply stunning.

It’s pretty common to see fans ink their favourite player onto their body after he leads his team to a championship. Take this individual, for example, who received a bizarre tat of Phil riding a hot dog while holding a mustard bottle.
