Elliott: New 'Feed Me' midriff tattoo was 'super painful'

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott unveiled some new ink during the team's Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams: a midriff tattoo featuring the phrase "Feed Me" as a nod to his famous eating gesture.

Elliott got the tattoo in Dallas just before training camp and admits it was more painful than his other tattoos.

"It was super painful," Elliott said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. "I think the next day we went and threw at (Dak Prescott's house), and it was all swollen and puffy. It was awful. Not going to lie, it was painful. But happy with the result."

Elliott's mother, Dawn, gave the tattoo a thumbs down on Twitter, but Elliott said her opinion is starting to sway.

"At this point, my mom is over getting mad at me for getting tattoos," he said. "Now she's coming around to them."

Elliott rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in the Cowboys' season opener while also catching three passes for 31 yards and another score.
