Please enjoy the hold photo while Pants deletes everything she previously wrote about disliking tattoos.
Better, whole photo courtesy of @Laurrrr_41. Not only did she survive this but she’s followed by The Backstreet Boys. The girl’s a hero.
Lindsay called for pictorial evidence (not pectoral, though that is also on display) that Neal’s tattoo is getting larger longer increasing in size okay, there’s no way to say it. But it’s true.
I also rescind my previously submitted decision on chains. I will allow this, but it’s borderline. Don’t push the Court, James.
Alas the Gingerbeard is gone, but that just reminds us that next season is another year, another hope of seeing the fully realized Gingerbeard kissing the Cup. Could he wear short sleeves when he lifts the Cup, maybe post-game? Could we get beard and tattoo and then just die happy?
Game 4 post-game interview. Really not fun to watch.
All the Breakup Day sads are here – Pens Player Interviews – full of half-frowns and dramatic sighs. It’s not a fun watch. Have something handy to hug, like a bottle of tequila or a tub of ice cream.
But honestly, why are people still talking about hockey? Call me on Wednesday. Until then, I want to talk about arms. And the fact that grungy, slightly hipster James Neal with the long hair and the tight jeans and now a burgeoning demi-sleeve is becoming…
The new Mike Green. Right?
Is it October yet?

I knew you’d come around. If anyone could make you like tattoos, it would be this guy. Just look at him. *sigh*
I’m elated that the Bruins won, but sad that gingerbeard is gone. It was so purty. At least he kept the hair.
Oh that hair.
James Neal is the New MG.
I must admit, even though I am not a fan of tats, Nealer’s sleeve, has my curosity. I need to see how far up his arm it goes and what extactly is it? Is that wrong of me? The whole hipster look needs a little refining. Did he raid Geno’s t-shirt collection? I still love you Nealer, so I’m totally expecting shirtless summer pictures during the off season.
OH MY GOD: “Could he wear short sleeves when he lifts the Cup, maybe post-game? Could we get beard and tattoo and then just die happy?”
I just fainted. This post, my life. That chain – he’s the perfect combination of grunge and the tattoo and hair? Ugh, next stop, motorcycle (just to look at and sit on, James – those things are death traps).
Arms and tats and chains and long hair. I don’t know WHO I am but James, I love you. Stay away from Pinterest and poetry and real hipster-ness. This is perfection. Alison, keep your eyes peeled ALL SUMMER.
You are a woman who is finally seeing the error of her ways. For so long, you denied the tattoos and the hockey flow, but girl, you just have to let it go.
Accept it. Embrace it. Celebrate it. I’ve been doing it for so long and I’m so much happier for it.

I have a coworker named James Nealon who has a very similar tattoo in the same spot and who has a ginger beard as well. Seriously.
Is he attractive? Is he single?
If so, marry him. Now.
He is, as another coworker pointed out, rickygervaisian. He’s also the Irish, male version of me. Regardless, he is very nonsingle.
Soooo are you ladies working for the NSA or what!?!?!?! Because I seriously was having a conversation with a group of friends about this very subject last night. Actually, our self-appointed summer challenge is acquiring clear, up close pictures of these tattoos because we’ve realized that such pictures do not exist. Yet.
Kaitlin, find said pictures and we shall be your Wikileaks, sharing them with the world.
I like this plan.
Oh my…
I agree. I wonder what it is, exactly. Then, I wonder how far up his arm it goes. Over the shoulder? Across those impressively large trapezius muscles? I think photos of that might make my computer explode. Unfortunately, we all know how rare shirtless pics of this boy are…
I’m already on high alert, desperately checking the Plymouth Whalers website for another alumni game this summer, including James Neal and Tyler Seguin.
Ohhh, I will be going again. And ohhh, I’ll do my best to get close-ups of ALL tattoos!
That aside: Lookin’ good James. Lookin’. Good.
Great! I remember your awesome pics from last year. Not just James, either — the cute ones of you and Tyler! 🙂
I’m not gonna lie. That was easily one of the best days of my life. 🙂
I just searched “Plymouth Whalers” on this site and JESUS. Realizing James’ foxiness only a few months back…I missed so,so much! Who knew Plymouth and Whitby could hold so many GEMS?
So Kaitlin, is that Nealmobile mission accepted then?
And yes, I will join the call for fewer clothing to determine the extent of that nice piece of ink!
Oh I’m taking the challenge. I feel as though my participation will be solely internet searches as opposed to in person, unless Neal decides to vacation in Flyers country.
I had the same exact feeling when the wings were knocked out after that last intense game 7 in Chicago- honestly watching Zetterberg’s post game interview made me want to shut down my computer and tv until hockey stopped existing.
I’m not neccessarily a huge Pens fan, but god when you post all these pictures of James Neal in short sleeves and such well fitting pants, it’s difficult to hate him. So I genuinely thank you for that.
I’m the antithesis of a Pens fan. I just have a major crush on James Neal. I don’t have any logical explanation. And am hiding this crush from my family. If there’s an earthquake in the Philly region my family found out and my grandfather rolled in his grave.
I live in Plymouth and believe me.. I will be on the lookout over here in Michigan for Nealer and his new half sleeve/other tattoos that we are unaware of.
