Heck no. Some might give you odd looks out of curiosity but plenty of tattoos & piercing & beards in LES stands.

And that’s just the coeds.

Ok now I’m curious, how’d you become a BYU fan?

Most would welcome you and you should be treated well.

Projectoor

2:01pm

You won't be the only one with tattoos. I bet most people won't even notice

Schultz is back

2:02pm

There are plenty of active LDS members there who have tattoos too.

Belboz

2:14pm

If you're wearing BYU gear, you'll likely be complimented instead

Team Chaos

2:03pm

I don't think you'd get much scorn.

Eddie

One pagan ritual to definitely avoid is you better not show up with...

You would be treated very well, and far better than BYU fans are treated when

Loafer

2:05pm

We need more of you at the games. Come on down

Cougarclaw

2:05pm

Wear BYU gear & you're good. You'll make friends.

Buy a ticket from the opposition and wear their shirt and you'll even get

We love all people but especially our fellow fans (at least we aspire to that)

RWaters

2:08pm

Bro, you'd be surprised at the diversity of people at LES. You'd be welcomed.

cougarblue

2:12pm

Fans in LES are very, very kind to even opposing fans.

Belboz

2:13pm

One of us would probably take you with them.

IGlowInTheDark

2:13pm

Bro, come to a game at LES! Cheer loudly

Jericho

2:14pm

You might get an extra look here and there, but that would be mostly due to all

BlueTooth

2:17pm

Plenty of people with the Tattoos all over, all over LES.

BYUtka

2:19pm

As long as you have BYU apparel you will be just fine.

WJCougar

2:21pm

As a tattooed fan, nobody has cared when I go to games.

nslcougar

2:24pm

I have 3 kids covered in tattoos that are all BYU fans!

cornellcoug

Not at all. You'd have a great time and be welcomed. Are you going to the UCF

Shut up and get over here! Your presence is wanted!

CougaRR4L

widowmakerbrett

2:35pm

With name like that I'm pretty sure you'd make a great LDS bishop!

zonacougar

2:46pm

Just checked out your YT vids. You need a royal blue & white kilt and a BYU tat.

Abe Froman

3:02pm

Bare knuckle? Royal Blue? I'm a fan now!

zonacougar

2:44pm

MAKE THE TRIP! This is about football and those who bleed BLUE! You are welcome

Cougar TD

2:44pm

BYU fans are only bothered if they see Utah fans with tattoos.

ImaFBfan

2:51pm

It's only PAC12 tattoos that cause a stir.

zonacougar

2:55pm

lol, imagine the poor suckers repping Wa, OR, Fresno, SD, Boise, Colorado states

Jericho

3:02pm

And they are attending a BYU game when BYU isn't playing Utah.

Les IsMore

2:56pm

Mocking your Pac12 tat isn’t being “bothered”, it’s making fun of your Pac12 tat

Abe Froman

3:16pm

Please come! We need more like you!

Refugee

3:00pm

You are one of us! It's BYU football, not church football. There are plenty like

BYU fans appreciate fans like you most of all. Makes us look less like homogenized milk. 🤣. As long as you’re repping

We play the visiting school's fight song prior to the game and give ice cream...

Trappist1F

3:51pm

At a BYU game, absolutely not. You'd be welcomed.

Blue Ghost

3:58pm

Look up Tristan Hoge's dad, Marty Hoge. He was loved when he attended games.

MacGyver

4:02pm

Truth be told we need more of you and you would be treated extremely well at games.

HTCougar

4:17pm

We love scary looking guys in BYU gear. Makes us look less dorky

Peter Venkman

Tuskaloosa Cougar

4:24pm

I had the same thought.

bbqoug

6:38pm

Swag Kazekage

5:09pm

We could really use you for our road game vs Utah in SLC in Nov…

byubrian

5:38pm

Worst case: folks think you're for other team... then we give you free ice cream

5:42pm

Are you going to the UCF game? My son and I would love to sit next to you at that game.
