He got the ink etched in his skin at half-time of England's 6-1 hammering of Panama. His team were up 5-0 at the time.
"I turned to my mate there and then, and told him I’m doing it," he says.
"I told him, 'I'm going to be the first person to have an England World Cup winners tattoo'.
"I don’t care what people think. When we win, it will be considered an absolute stroke of genius.
"It was like an epiphany. I just had a feeling, you know, I just knew it was going to be different this time."
He isn’t the only Three Lions fans who think England can win it all, with many people making comparisons with 1966, when they were last victorious.
One of BBC's Twitter accounts pointed out that Real Madrid won the European Cup in 1966, Burnley qualified for Europe, Manchester City won their league (second division), Chelsea finished fifth in the first division, and England won the World Cup.
All those things have happened so far this year, except England haven’t won the cup - yet.
England haven’t made it past the quarter-finals since 1990. Over the next six tournaments, they won only two knockout matches - the 3-0 win against Denmark in Japan in 2002 and the 1-0 win over Ecuador in Germany four years later.
England lost in the last 16 in South Africa in 2010 and were out of contention after two group games in Brazil four years ago.
England are currently sitting atop Group G and can secure top stop with a win over Belgium on Friday morning (NZ time).
But plenty of superstitious football fans are hoping England fall to second to avoid Brazil or Mexico in the quarter-finals.
