A year ago, if you owned a tattoo parlor in Pittsburgh, life was good.

You had exuberant Steelers fans plunking down big bucks to have their love for the Super Bowl champions permanently emblazoned in ink on their skin.

This year the Steelers are coming off a disappointing season, and .

"There's been a dramatic falloff," [a Pittsburgh tattoo parlor owner] practically sighed.

"We're still doing maybe one a month, but last year, during the season, people would come in daily, and not just guys, and not just for the Steelers' logo. I did black and gold yin and yangs, a lot of different things that were Steeler-related. One guy talked about putting a whole sleeve of Steeler portraits on himself.


The best part of the story is that the Pittsburgh tattoo parlor owner says he's never done a Browns logo. He seems to think that's because everyone in Pittsburgh hates the Browns. I think it's because a Browns logo would just look like a birthmark.

5.

no one cares about the steelers. they're overrated plain and simple. everyone knows superbowl 40 was a fluke how can any team play in a city that's occupied by inbreds?


6. What is the real reason that Bill Cowher had supposedly resigned from being head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is it basically because he wants to be closer to his family down here in N.

C. yet he had talked about going to AZ. I must say this but his family doesn't want any part of him after he had gotten his secretary pregnant.
