Sunrise reporter debuts her ‘disgusting’ GO THE BLUES tattoo after losing a State Of Origin bet

Sunrise sports reporter Katie Brown was has been left with a regrettable tattoo after losing a State Of Origin bet to her New South Wales supporter colleague Michelle Bishop over the weekend. 

Brown unveiled her unfortunate inking during Monday’s Sunrise, rolling up her sleeve to show the words ‘Go The Blues’ written in blue ink on her forearm. 

‘I’ve been fake smiling all morning and I will have to continue. But sorry mum and dad! This is a morning of firsts,’ the Queensland Maroons supporter told co-hosts Natalie Barr and Mark Beretta.

‘It’s disgusting, yeah it is so disgusting!’ she laughed, adding: ‘I always told Mum and Dad I wouldn’t get a tattoo, and look, it’s pretty real!’ 

Beretta joked that Brown wouldn’t be allowed back in Queensland with her new tattoo. 

Brown replied: ‘I’m going to have to see a tattoo artist and get that removed this morning, stat. I do fly back [to Queensland] tonight.

She however later hinted that her ‘tattoo’ may not be real.  

‘It was a quick job. Only took a couple of minutes, actually. I was pretty impressed with the stencil. It wasn’t free-hand,’ Brown chuckled, perhaps hinting that her ink is actually a temporary tattoo. 

Brown’s tattoo nightmare has sparked lively discussion on social media, with some critics accusing the blonde of telling porkie pies.

‘What a load of horse manure. Easy to see that is biro and also if she had that done it would still be covered also redness around it and shiny through Vaseline,’ one viewer Tweeted. 

‘Too bad it’s not real! It’d be a bit more red if it was only a few hours old,’ another agreed. 

Others poked fun at her unwanted ink, with one Tweeting: ‘I’d argue it suits you. Let’s face it, blue is a much better colour than maroon!’

‘Next tattoo surely is a full maroon sleeve to cover it up?’ another fan commented.
