Most tatted up NBA players?

So many players have sleeves of ink nowadays. Off the top of my head:

not that tatted but the ugliest person to have tats

[ErhnamDjinn]

I think Birdman takes this hands down. Damn when I saw him a couple of games ago, I was WTF happened to him, cause I dont think he was like that last year.

[QuebecBaller]

I think the fight is really between Earl Smith jr and The Birdman

[jtj5002]

lol the total IQ of those guys are like 43.4

Yea the Birdman is completely littered in ink.
Dude looks like a walking box of crayons...

The Birdman only have one tattoo on his back, and the front of his body is not fully loaded

tatts on niccaz always look like trash and they overdo it

[Nash]

Black people can get away with many tats. If white people have too many tats then it looks disgusting.

Bird looks like he has more because he's white and all of his have color, not saying he doesn't have the most tatts, just saying the reason he looks so weird is cuz he's pale but covered in color. Melo has a lot too. I'd say JR Smith probably has the most and Beasley has a lot too.

[GOBB]

Birdman arms/neck are covered in tatts but someone posted him without his jersey top on. And people think he wins still? :confusedshrug:

Anyway I'll never understand having all those tattoos littering your body parts. Some you cant even make out.

[PowerGlove]

I dont think dark people like shaq should get tats, I cant even see what the hell they are. If I was white or light skinned I would get some because they would be visible, but unless they have a safe glow in the dark tattoo out now, I'll pass.

[NauruDude]

Don't they get higher FG% with more tattoos?

[midatlantic09]

Those tattoos look absolutely disgusting and look more like a disease than a piece of artwork. David Stern should implement a rule limiting the amount of tattoos a player can get because it's just getting out of hand and I'm sure the NBA is losing fans because of it. Would anyone else be able to show up to work looking a hot mess like that? I think not.

While it doesn't affect their ability to play basketball, having tattoos like that is a huge turnoff to those who watch the games and pay money to attend the games. I realize it's basketball, but the NBA is getting a bit too thugged out these days.

[clipps]

I guess if you have the money to do it and you don't have to worry about looking for an average Joe job, so be it. I wouldn't waste my money on tats though.

[LT Ice Cream]

haha I just noticed that larry sanders has the same "chosen 1" tattoo that lebron has on his back.

[Grinder]

Add Sonny Weems, Amir Johnson, Nate Robinson, and Anthony Carter to this list.

[ThunderKat]

I'm betting most of them regret them when they leave the league. Can you see the birdman going to get a real job? People would be like the WTF... circus is that way. :cheers:

[Alamo]

You should update that picture of JR Smith. He has the "Swish" neck tattoo and stars now. Not only does it look foolish, but really painful :eek:

[flipogb]

I didn't know JRIch and Bass had tats until I watched a Magic game in HD, whats the point if you can barely see it

[OmniStrife]

Someone should invent WHITE INK tatts for black people, he'd make millions...
Plus it would look sick...

Congratulations on making the worst post I've read all week.

I can't believe no one has yet to mention MR. INK himself, the MVSteve Nashty:

That's clearly outdated.

Without Dennis Rodman no one in the NBA would be tatted up at all....

[reppy]

Every time I see Birdman I think he's wearing a turtle neck then I realize his neck is just tattooed all goofy colors.

And yes, he'll definitely have trouble if he ever has to look for a job after the NBA. Maybe he can be a bouncer for a club. I've gone to some pretty suspect venues that he'd fit in at.

[jn2rons]

Dennis was definitely the 1st to go overboard on the Tats. Blue Edwards on the Jazz was one of the 1st to have an arm tattoo...visible during game play, when he was on the Jazz (Late 80's-early 90's). The reason I remember is that eveen though it was just a few letters... it REALLY stood out, since no one else had any.
