The club was a cricket club when it formed in 1820 as The Wednesday Cricket Club (named after the day of the week when they played their matches). A meeting on the evening of Wednesday 4 September 1867 at the Adelphi Hotel established a footballing side to keep the team together and fit during the winter months. They played their first match against The Mechanics on 19 October the same year.
Still, as football tattoos go, it is nowhere near as bad as some examples out there. Manchester City fans in particular seem to have a bad ink habit.
At least the only people who will know this is wrong is Sheffield Wednesday fans and even then, QED, they might not be totally sure when their club was formed.
EDIT: It appears it's a fake! Ha! Thought the tattooist had made a good job of making those 7s look really similar. I'll put this in my box of reasons to dislike Sheffield Wednesday along with the 1991 League Cup final and an ex-girlfriend hailing from the city.

^ It's real, you mong.
It's fake. I can tell from some of the pixels and that.
It's a bit of a tradition on Owlstalk.
Someone posts a picture of their new tattoo and some one else photoshops a mistake onto it.
This is what my lad would call an epic fail.
It's fake and was faked by a Wednesdayite.
Go and build a Gary Glitter statue to stand next to Michael Jackson.

100% fake. You've just been pwned by owlstalk.co.uk
whoooooooooooooooosssssshhh!!!!!!!
You can tell the seven has been photoshopped the hair is exactly the same on both sevens
As a Fulham supporter, why would you dislike Wednesday for beating Man Utd in the League Cup Final? We're you a Man Utd fan until Fulham got to the PL? Oooh, that's pretty lame.
I actually quite like Sheffield Wednesday, which is why there are only three negatives in that list. I remember thinking the blue and white striped kit was pretty smart from a young age and the badge being one of my favourite foil stickers in my Panini Albums.
I've been a Man United fan since Atkinson (damn him for 1991) but had a season ticket at Fulham for four years when I lived down there. I'm back up north now.
