Fans react to Jake Paul getting the tattoo

Fans are showing concerns over Jake Paul’s decision to get a tattoo of a vodka bottle on his arm just days before his big fight against Tommy Fury. One fan named thad_k0812 commented, “Fake tattoo why would you do that if you’re fighting in two weeks? It won’t heal.” Another fan named _.csp._chispa pointed out, “Alcohol stays in the body for 7 days, not so good idea to do this challenge right now, you have a fight in 11 days.” Jake Paul has shown his sincerity for the sport, so it will be a shame if it comes to waste because of reasons such as this.
