‘They’re up to no good’

The Canadian tutor and ‘Jeopardy!’ champion, Mattea Roach, has admitted to being questioned by the show’s producers over their NSFW tattoos. They showed off a tattoo of two cowboys on their arm which many fans considered unambiguous. As fans started steering things up, Mattea cleared things out by sharing a closer picture of their tattoos on Twitter and had a playful exchange with their fans. They made it abundantly clear that the tattoo is completely decent.

It all started when ‘Jeopardy!’ shared their photo with tattoos on their official account with a caption, "Harness the power of Mattea's confidence (and the cowboys on their arm) as you prepare to wrangle your day." The closeup shared by Mattea highlighted other inkings as well, including a flying angel, a large cockroach, and a scorpion, with a lucid caption, "Also bc people keep being all 'what are those cowboys doing? People at ABC had the same question lmao so I already have a closeup on hand. They’re just palling around”.



 

‘Need a Mattea Roach tattoo tour on inside please’

After ‘Jeopardy!’ posted Mattea Roach’s picture with their tattoos, many fans mused over the meaning behind the tattoos. Although the picture did not clearly showcase the tattoos, fans wanted an explanation and took to social media to express their concerns. A Twitter user wrote, “Curious . . . has Mattea shared the story behind the tattoo on her left forearm. Can't seem to tell what it is. I don't think that she's talked about it with Ken?”, while other users added, “Just noticed that Mattea had a tat during today's episode .... or was that she usually wears longer sleeves? #Jeopardy I couldn't get a close look to see what is the tattoo . . . anyone else?” One more user twitted, “Need a Mattea roach tattoo tour on inside please”.



 



 



 

While some fans were curious to know their tattoos’ meaning, other fans snapped as one user wrote, “WTF is the tattoo on Jeopardy Mattea's left arm?”, and another added, “@mattearoach can you let us know what that tattoo is? It can't be what we are thinking”.
