HOUSTON – KPRC 2 sports reporter Adam Wexler helped a Texans J.J. Watt super-fan make her dream a reality Monday at the first day of Houston preseason training camp.
Wexler took a photo of Kimberly Cannon’s unique tattoo featuring the defensive end’s face, and queried Twitter: “Should we talk to this Texans fan coming up on KPRC2? Um, yes, of course.”

The Texans tweeted out the moment -- all inspired by Wexler’s original post.

On Tuesday, Cannon tattooed the signature directly onto her arm. Her brother-in-law is a tattoo artist and completed the design.
Cannon spoke to Click2Houston when she originally got the tattoo.
