And if you want to pay tribute to an Internet celebrity, well, you should be ready to hear what social media thinks – and it’s usually not all that flattering.

That was the case when a golf fan met Paige Spiranac at a recent event and decided to make a rather bold move: He asked the golf influencer to sign his arm, which he then went and made permanent by getting it tattooed.

Spiranac posted a photo of herself and the fan named Tony on social media, with him revealing the fresh ink on the inside of his left bicep.

“Met Tony at an X-Golf event where he asked me to sign his arm. An hour later he comes back with it tattooed on him,” the blonde bombshell posted earlier this week on X.

Social media users wasted no time laying into the poor guy, relentlessly trolling Tony for shooting his shot with Spiranac.

“Things men will do to try to…” one person wrote.

“She’s still not gonna……dude,” another replied.

Several others simply replied with various versions of “Yikes.”

A couple other user replied asking how Tony is going to explain this ink to future girlfriends, since he likely is currently single.

“He must be single. His future wife is gonna love that tattoo,” one person wrote.

Another asked “How to explain that to the future Mrs.”

X-Golf, the event’s sponsor perhaps summed things up best: “Well, at least Tony will never forget that day,” adding a laughing emoji.

Spiranac has been riding a massive wave of popularity, having gained more than five million followers across her social media channels and launching her own subscription-based website, OnlyPaige.com, which features exclusive golf advice and some sultry snaps.

After making her SI Swimsuit debut in 2018 with a photoshoot in Aruba, Spiranac was one of 27 women featured on three different “legends” covers to go along with four more traditional covers, featuring the likes of Kate Upton, Gayle King, Chrissy Teigen and Hunter McGrady.

She also threw her hat into the ring to compete at this year’s Nathan’s hot dog eating challenge after world-record holder Joey Chestnut was banned from the event.

She even shared her record for hot dogs eaten in a 10-minute session: A respectable 6.5 hot dogs and buns.

“I’m available to fill in. My record is 6.5 hotdogs in 10 minutes,” she posted on X in a reply to a post about Chestnut’s ban.

She followed it up on Wednesday morning, providing video proof of her hot dog-eating prowess while amending her record to six hot dogs and buns.

“I have found the video proof. And I lied it was only 6 hotdogs and not 6.5. I might have to try again this July 4th. Thoughts?”
