NBA Tattoos

[Marv_Albert]

You see all types of weird, wonderful ink designs on these players.

Who has the best and the worst?

[JR POLO BOY]

man you cant make out any tattoos on these dark ass dudes. lol just playing but i think they're overdoing it too much now away days with full sleeves all the way to the hands. They look like wana be rappers.

[joyner82]

Deron Williams and Chris Anderson probably have the worst. Also Kenyon's lips on his neck is pretty horrendous as well.

culturally Allen Iverson has had the biggest impact on basketball besides Michael Jordan and it is really not close. MJ & AI guys like Kobe and Bron are light years behind.

MJ really influenced any 90s baller. AI has influenced the from 02-present.


I don't think the Derrick Rose's or OJ Mayo's tats are even bad though. That Hoopsvibe was just reaching to get more players involved in it.

http://cdn.hoopsvibe.com/images/stories/ojmayosacrificededication2.jpghttp://cdn.hoopsvibe.com/images/stories/derrickrosepoohdini2.jpg

Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, Sam Young, Zach Randolph are others w/o tats.

[Toizumi]

Zach Randolph

:no:

you hardly see them, but they're there.

http://images.dailyradar.com/media/uploads/ballhype/story_large/2010/01/29/zach_randolph.jpg

Funny thing is, I've never played a video game in which they put tats on him. just a random thing I notice with every NBA game I play. Have to admit I haven't played live 10 though.

:lol this whole year i have been watching him and didn't see any sign of ink. That's when you know you shouldnt have a tat. I've always wondered will we see a guy with white ink on them?

agreed.

and i didnt know paul peirce had tattoos. you can also see his stab scars on his back as well

[Manute for Ever!]

It's pretty crazy when it is easier to count the six or seven players in the league without tats...

[Toizumi]

:lol this whole year i have been watching him and didn't see any sign of ink. That's when you know you shouldnt have a tat. I've always wondered will we see a guy with white ink on them?

same with KG. you have to leek real close to see it.
I remember in the lockerroom after practice a few years back, some guy from another team that trained there was going on about his new ink and I was sitting right there, like 10 feet away watching him point at his arm and I couldnt see sh*t :oldlol:

I ain't noticed any either if that was a million dollar question I would of got that hella wrong.

[Freshprince619]

Blame it on the hip hop community.
Back in the day if you had tattos = Gangster

Even Iverson was tattoo free in Georgetown days

[MeLO MvP 15]

Melo i think has a tiger on his shoulder... and a puerto rican flag on his hand...

personally i like some of JR's but they are soo random... like the megatron/transformers logo, the young money logo, red stars around his neck...

also i heard lawson got a tattoo of a law on his back... that would be pretty bad ass

[QuebecBaller]

Do you remember Damon Stoudamire?

http://images.allposters.com/images/58/004_PS5551.jpg

[MK2V1GP]

Glad KG isn't on there. None of his tats are awful like the ones on that link though (thanks for that btw, some of those are lolable).

I don't mind one or two small tats, but when you got the whole sleeve thing goin and when they cover your whole back or chest/stomach, its a BIT much. I know they have all the money in the world, but could they not do somethig better with all that money instead of making themselves look like idiots?

What are they going to do when they're in their 70s and they're all faded and crap? lol

Definately, no question.

[ThaKid]

Amare officially has the best set of tattoos. He has alot, but it doesnt look overwhelming, or go overboard and some of them look very classy and meaningful. plus the placement of all the tattoos are perfect. :applause:

[gyu]

Can you guys explain the meaning behind Rasheed's?

btw, there are some pretty bad ones, don't understand why would someone do that kind of tattoo...

[ThaKid]

"Black Jesus" :oldlol:
lol well i forgot he had that one, but nonetheless his tats look the classiest in the nba, if u can call tattoos classy
