We all know Dabo Swinney is a beloved figure in the Clemson-area, but one fan took it to the next level with her viral tattoo of the Tigers head coach.
Via FOX Carolina News reporter Carmine Gemei, a woman at a event had a leg tattoo of Dabo touching Howard’s Rock. And when she showed it to the two-time national title winner he asked for a picture of it.
The woman reportedly told Swinney he could only take the flick if he signed her leg, which he did, and she immediately got that tatted too.
Noticed a woman’s awesome tat at today’s event!
When she showed it to Dabo, he asked to take a picture and she only allowed him to take one after he signed her leg.
Her tat artist promised if she ever got Dabo’s signature, he’d immediately tat that too.
She did and he did. pic.twitter.com/u6rAy7gQZB

It’s easy to see why Dabo is such a revered figure in the Palmetto State given what he’s built at Clemson since taking over for Tommy Bowden in 2008.
In the years that followed, Swinney has led the Tigers to six College Football Playoff appearances, a pair of national championships, a run of 12 straight 10-win seasons and eight ACC titles.
Clemson is once again ranked in the top 10 heading into 2023.
