Some fans celebrate a big win with a night out, others buy a commemorative scarf or jersey.
But one Newcastle supporter decided to take things to a whole new level—by getting a QR code tattooed on his leg that links to a video of Dan Burn’s famous goal in the Carabao Cup final.
Newcastle Ends 70-Year Trophy Drought
Newcastle United finally lifted a domestic trophy after 70 years, securing a dramatic 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Wembley.
The Magpies’ success was fueled by Dan Burn’s powerful header just before halftime, followed by a goal from Alexander Isak.
The emotional win sparked wild celebrations across the city and among fans worldwide.
The Tattoo That Links to History
To ensure he never forgets the moment, a devoted Newcastle fan visited Lev-ink Tattoo shop, where artist Brian Levitt inked a QR code on his calf.
When scanned with a phone, the code directs users to a video of Burn passionately celebrating his goal with his teammates.
Beneath the QR code, the fan added the phrase, “It’s the boy from Blyth,” a nod to Burn’s hometown just outside Newcastle.
Rival Fans Try to Spoil the Fun
While Newcastle supporters admired the unique tribute, rival fans had other ideas.
One social media user on X (formerly Twitter) urged others to mass-report the video to get it taken down, potentially rendering the QR code useless.
The post received over 17,000 likes, suggesting that some football fans are determined to sabotage the Newcastle fan’s creative memento.
Newcastle’s Wild Celebrations
The tattoo is just one example of how much this victory meant to the Newcastle faithful.
The celebrations lasted for weeks, with players and fans partying together at Box Park immediately after the final.
The city later hosted a grand open-top bus parade, drawing around 300,000 fans to the streets.
Even beloved TV duo Ant and Dec joined the festivities, celebrating alongside the squad.
A Night to Remember at Town Moor
The victory tour culminated with a massive event at Town Moor, where the team took to the stage in front of thousands of adoring supporters.
Club legend Alan Shearer delivered an emotional speech, dedicating the win to his late father.
Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes then stole the show by leading fans in an x-rated chant aimed at fierce rivals Sunderland.
Back to Business in the Premier League
After weeks of celebration, Eddie Howe’s men must now refocus as they return to Premier League action.
Newcastle faces Brentford in their first match since the historic cup win, looking to carry their momentum into the league campaign.
One thing is for sure—whether Newcastle wins another trophy soon or not, one fan will always have a permanent reminder of this unforgettable moment inked on his skin.
