Judging by the examples on the walls of Tattoo Paradise in Adams Morgan, you can get a tattoo as complicated as you would like, from geometrically intricate mandalas to elaborate Japanese-inspired artworks. Michael Barber is here for something a little simpler: he’s commemorating the Nationals’ World Series win with a butt tattoo.

Barber grew up in Alexandria watching the Nationals try and fail to reach the World Series over the past decade. “For the longest time I would always say when we were doing well: Nats are hot!” he said, “and it became this thing where even when we weren’t doing so well I’d still say it.”

The 28 year old made a bet in 2009 with a close friend that if the Nats ever won the World Series, he would happily get “Nats are hot!” tattooed on his butt. On Friday, he made use of another client’s last minute cancellation to get a spot in line at Tattoo Paradise. Five minutes and $150 later, Barber had made good on his word.

Nikki Lugo, the artist handling the procedure, wasn’t concerned at the relative simplicity of this inking. “For a first tattoo, it’s not bad. Everyone has to start somewhere!” she said, while posting a picture of the fresh ink to her Instagram story.

After years in the sporting wilderness, a Stanley Cup win, a WNBA championship and the Nationals’ World Series victory means D.C. sports fans are now handling the unusual feeling of being a championship-winning town.

The champagne might not always be flowing, but a number of fans now have a permanent reminder of D.C.’s sporting prowess on their skin.

At Rick’s Tattoo in Arlington, they’ve already inked a dozen Nats tattoos since Wednesday’s win.

Bethesda Tattoo reports a “major increase” in fans getting Nats tattoos since the team’s World Series run began, and that has continued since the series win.

And it’s a similar story at Electric Cat Scratch Tattoos in Shaw. “Before the win I don’t think we had ever done a Nats tattoo,” said Sheila Larson, an artist at the parlor. Now the bookings are starting to come in.

It isn’t the first time experiencing a sports bump for Tattoo Paradise. The parlor received a publicity boost in July when ten apparently sober (tattoo artists generally have a policy of not providing service to intoxicated clients) members of the victorious Washington Capitals hockey team visited the shop to get their own ink as part of their extended celebration tour around the District.

(The shop also posted this truly incredible Nats face tattoo to their Instagram account in June, though we’ve been unable to track down the story of it … yet.)

Ari Yanover, a Calgary-based web editor and Nats fan, flew to D.C. for the World Series, attending game 5 in person and watching the others with fellow fans.

It wasn’t the first game she travelled to D.C. for. “I was there for the turnaround,” she said referring to the May 24 win against the Miami Marlins that turned the Nationals’ 19-31 record to 20–31 and began their march to the World Series. “It all just really came together for me,” she said. She had made a promise to herself that she would get a tattoo of whichever one of her favorite teams won a championship first, the Nats won the race.

Yanover visited Tattoo Paradise the day before her flight back to Calgary to make her relationship with the team official. “I saw all the first 50 games and I watched them ascend to higher heights after that,” she said. “They were just so fun and lovable and it was just an extra fun season so I was like: yeah I gotta do this.”

Yanover got the entire Nats World Series 25-man roster numbers tattooed on her upper left shoulder – starting with the batting order from Game 7, as well as the four starting pitchers, the bench players, and relievers. “I get really sentimental. Like really sentimental,” Yanover said, “and this team was really special.” Although it’s not her first tattoo, it is her first “sportscentric” one, she said.

Judging by the shirtless celebrations of Nats players over the weekend and the distinct lack of ink on torsos, the desire for a commemorative tattoo hasn’t transferred from the fans to the players yet (on the body parts that are visible, at least).
