QPR fan gets INCREDIBLE Ian Holloway tattoo after Fulham bet BACKFIRES
A QPR fan has had Ian Holloway’s name tattooed on his body after a bet on the West London derby against Fulham backfired horribly.
Writing on Twitter before kick off, Rs supporter Olly joked that he would get ‘Ian Holloway is my dad’ inked on his wrist if “we concede less than three goals”.
He added: “We’re going to get thumped mate.”
After 45 minutes of the game, it appeared Olly would avoid having to book an appointment at his local tattoo parlour.
Tom Cairney had fired Fulham ahead with a precision strike from the edge of the box before Lucas Piazon doubled the lead on 45 minutes.
However, the tide turned just before the break as Massimo Luongo struck seconds before the whistle.
QPR dominated in the second half as Fulham struggled to get their fluent, attacking football going.
And the Rs got a deserved equaliser on 81 minutes when Pawel Wszolek made the most of Denis Odoi’s blunder to stroke the ball past Marcus Bettinelli.
Fulham failed to find the crucial third goal so Olly was off to get his skin inked.
He posted the tattoo - in all its glory - on Twitter yesterday, with the caption: “It’s done.”
QPR responded by posting a gif of Ian Holloway winking to the camera, to which Olly replied: “Class.”

A number of Twitter users were quick to share their shock that he had followed through on his bet.
One said: “I would of just deleted the tweet.”
Another added: “Full respect but looking forward to seeing you on Tattoo Fixers.”
While a third said: “Could’ve picked a better font mate.”
