'The Bachelorette': Was Page sent home because of his 'soup nuts' tattoo? Chef's ink sends fans into frenzy

'Finally broke a milestone on the bachelorette by having a guy with hand tattoos and they send him home on the first night....smh,' wrote a user

'The Bachelorette' Season 16 premiered on ABC on October 12. The first episode ran high on drama as the bachelorette Clare Crawley met with her 31 suitors in her quest for true love. However, when an unexpected issue ensued between two of the contestants, it thwarted the others' big plans to spend some quality time with Clare.

Page Pressley, a 37-year-old chef from Austin, Texas, was one of the two contestants to be eliminated in the first episode of ‘The Bachelorette' Season 16. He was heavily tattooed and took a bit too much pride in flaunting his inked body. At one point, he even revealed a tattoo of his heart inked right over his actual heart. Strange much? There's actually more to the Austin chef's love for tattoos. 

Soon after he got eliminated, people on Twitter started to specifically talk about his hand tats. Even though we didn’t get to see much of him during the episode, from the time he entered the show to the time he left, we got a good view of all the tattoos on his body.  While exiting the show, he even said how he was shafted and had he spent more time with her, he could have built a legitimate connection with her. 

However, the tattoos on his fingers seem to have garnered enough attention on social media. Page's finger tattoos spelled "Soup Nuts". Fans wouldn't miss out on an opportunity to discuss the rather eccentric ink on all of Page's 10 fingers. One twitter user even shared the definition of "Soup Nuts" and said Page's tattoos make sense for a chef.

Apparently, "Soup Nuts" is an "American English idiom that conveys the meaning of 'from beginning to end'. It is derived from the description of a full course dinner in which courses progress from soup to a dessert of nuts."

Reacting to Page's tattoos, one user worte, "Who let the guy with SOUP NUTS tattooed on his knuckles be on #TheBachelorette tho?" Another asked, "Does Mr Necklace Hands finger tats read soup nuts? #TheBachelorette". One tweeted, "Finally broke a milestone on the bachelorette by having a guy with hand tattoos and they send him home on the first night....smh"

'The Bachelorette' Season 16 airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
