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

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

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

Loafer

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

Cougarclaw

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

RWaters

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

One of us would probably take you with them.

IGlowInTheDark

Bro, come to a game at LES! Cheer loudly

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

BYUtka

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

WJCougar

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

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

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

zonacougar

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

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

Trappist1F

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.

Brisket

BlackBart

HTCougar

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

Peter Venkman

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Combat trained? Can you go with me to the next BYU game played at RES?

I had the same thought.

bbqoug

6:38pm

Swag Kazekage
