Every time the Kansas City Chiefs have made a Super Bowl since the 2019 NFL season, the team’s cheerleaders have banded together to get a tattoo remembering the occasion.
The wild tradition was revealed by former Chiefs cheerleader Stefanie Hills, who was on Arrowhead Stadium’s sidelines for six seasons.
Hills took four different trips to the tattoo parlor in her stint with the team, with her most recent visit last year adding two pieces of ink to her left foot, the numerals for Super Bowl LVIII and an Arrowhead to make the entire design centered.
Not every cheerleader was forced to get a tattoo and the locations on where they got inked and the designs were up to each person.
The clip is from last March, with Hills getting her new ink from the same tattoo artist that put the pen on her the year before.
The Chiefs cheerleaders are now two wins away from another trip to the tattoo parlor, playing the Houston Texans in the Divisional round on Saturday afternoon.

‘It is not a requirement to get a tattoo and there is absolutely no pressure,’ Hills said. ‘However, I would say the majority of our team got tatted today. Even our athletic trainer, Michaela, joined us and got a cute Vegas-themed tattoo with 34 to represent the members of our team!’

Hills went viral last May, after she was no longer employed by the Chiefs, blasting team kicker Harrison Butker’s commencement address at Benedictine College in Kansas.
In the controversial speech, Butker urged men to ‘fight against cultural emasculation’ and claimed women are destined to be ‘homemakers.’
Hills message said how Butker went through public-relations training with the Chiefs and did not listen to any of it in his speech.
‘You referred to gay people as ᴅᴇᴀᴅly sinners. The gays love football,’ Hills said in the video. ‘We don’t want to lose them as an audience. So you might want to reconsider calling them ᴅᴇᴀᴅly sinners.’
Butker was widely panned for his remarks while Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and teammates such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce defended his right to free speech.
