What's the meaning of life? Are we alone out there? Why did someone get a nude Jason Kelce tattooed on 'em? We finally have an answer to at least one of the universe's biggest mysteries.

TMZ Sports chopped it up with Lauren Philpott -- a New York Giants fan (!!!) -- in an effort to get to the bottom of the viral tattoo ... which stems from a bet she lost with her husband dating back to the 2022-23 NFL season.

Lauren says despite not being a fan of the reigning Super Bowl champions, she is a big supporter of Jason and wifey, Kylie. For that reason alone, she has no regrets about the tat.

Jason Kelce is experiencing quite the conundrum after a fan got a tattoo of his naked body in cartoon form this week ... asking out loud if he should be more offended or flattered.

The ink started making rounds on social media on Thursday ... with artist Joe the Wizard sharing the startling project and saying, "Jason Kelce pin up for y'all."

The finished product shows Kelce in the buff posing like a Playboy model ... with an Eagles logo conveniently placed over his junk.

Brooklyn Beckham’s loyalty is crystal clear -- 'cause he's showing off an elaborate tat that’s practically screaming how his wife Nicola Peltz is helping him navigate their messy family rift.

Not long after fans caught him hiding his "mama's boy" tattoo, Brooklyn shamelessly plugged the ink on his upper back, just below his neck. And it’s not just any design ... it’s an encouraging note from Nicola herself, written to him before their April 2022 wedding.

The note reads, "My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I've ever met and hope I never go a day without your love."

Startin' off hump day right with this TikTok stud who's lookin' fine and oh so right! Can you guess which Hollywood hottie put his tatted bod on full display in this show-stoppin' shot?!

May come as no surprise, but this handsome fella started posting thirst trap vids on TikTok back in 2020. He joined "the Hype House" and was also on the Netflix series. He defeated YouTuber Deiji during the "Battle of the Platforms."

Looks like Brooklyn Beckham’s family feud is becoming permanent … or permanently covered -- 'cause he’s now seemingly obscuring the ink he once dedicated to his mom.

The heavily tattooed eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham posed shirtless for Glamour Germany with wife Nicola Peltz -- but eagle-eyed fans noticed something missing. That "mama’s boy" tattoo on his chest? Now buried among a bouquet of flowers that look suspiciously like Nicola’s bridal arrangement.

The OG quote was already on the smaller side, but now that it's drowned out by a much bigger tat -- yup, it sure does look like Brooklyn's trying to swap Mom for Mrs.

If Michael Malone is having regrets over his Nuggets tattoo now that the team unceremoniously fired him, the man who put the ink on the coach's body tells TMZ Sports he's down to cover it up.

The former Denver head man famously got the Maxie the Miner piece etched onto his shoulder after he won his first-ever NBA title two years ago ... but if he now wants it gone, Mike Diaz of Triple W Tattoos says he'll break out his needle once more.

The artist -- who designed the whimsical championship piece for Malone in June 2023 -- told us he's hopeful the 53-year-old will keep it, as it's an amazing memory for him and his city ... but he added, "If he really wanted to do that, I would help out."

For many celebs, tattoos serve as a major creative outlet, and some get pretty innovative with their designs -- case in point: this inked-up star.

Now, the tattoos run all down the abs, and this star’s using them to flaunt that physique -- so, can you guess who it is?

Romeo Beckham and Vinnie Hacker are goin' head-to-head with their shirtless shots, but which stud's ink is makin' you wink 😘 ?!

So the key question here is ... Who'd You Rather?!

Angelina says the show -- the first Broadway play she's produced and the first show her kiddo had a job on -- means a lot to both of them, both collectively and separately ... and, they wanted to commemorate the accomplishment.

Jayson Tatum's first NBA championship will be with him -- or on him -- forever ... 'cause it seems the Boston Celtics star just got a new tattoo ... showing the NBA superstar kissing the Larry O'Brien trophy.

The resurfaced pic of Boebert soaking up the sun in Palm Beach, FL has gone viral alongside Ginger’s caption ... "We love confident, healthy, patriotic women like Lauren."
