Bryce Harper
Phantastic Tat!!!
Published
Bryce Harper‘s tattoo collection just got a whole lot more phantastic.
It was revealed this week the Philadelphia Phillies star recently got an image of his team’s mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, etched permanently into his wrist … and check it out, it’s awesome!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The artwork features the lovable green character riding an ATV — with its trademark tongue blown out of its mouth.
Hannah Matthews, a Utah-based tattoo artist, did the work … and in a series of photos of the ink sesh that she posted to her Instagram page on Wednesday, you can see Harper was clearly thrilled with the final result.
The 32-year-old outfielder, of course, has had an epic relationship with the Phils’ mascot since he joined the team in 2019.
Coming over from the Nationals, he quickly embraced the Phanatic … interacting with it whenever he could — and even wearing images of the fuzzy fellow on his cleats.

The bond, though, has obviously reached a new level … and given the way the Phanatic has shown love back to Harper over the years — we fully expect to see a little Bryce in that green mane by Opening Day.
