    Why would you want players not happy in their own skin?

    Tattoos on athletes suck. Did Magic, Bird, Olajuwon, Jordan, etc. have tattoos? I don't think so. Battier, Hayes, Scola, Yao - another reason to appreciate these guys.

    I know that had to hurt like hell. I don't know what I'll do if I ever lost my daughter.

    Well, back in the Magic/Jordan/Olajuwon/Barkley era tattoos were not as popular. Dennis Rodman was the anomaly.

    Feel free to call me prejudiced, but this is my personal opinion as well.

    I don't care for tats (which were big when I was in college in the dark ages; it was a nite drinking and a NYC tat parlor, a 28th Street Ladie) but they'll never leave me as cold as what the NBA did by airbrushing AI's.

    In the Paint: Tattoos of the NBA and the Stories Behind Them [ILLUSTRATED]

    [​IMG]

    Product Description
    Photographs of the wildest, weirdest and most interesting tattoos of the NBA, accompanied by firsthand accounts of what the tattoos mean and why they're there en years ago, Dennis Rodman was the only NBA player with tattoos worth mentioning and back then he was considered a freak. Now around 70% of the league is 'tatted out.' The game is played so fast that it's hard to tell what even the most obvious tattoos actually are. And some of the most interesting ones are hidden behind jerseys or under socks. Allen Iverson has more than two dozen tattoos-some you can see, some you can't. Some are obvious, like his nickname, 'the answer,' and some are cryptic like 'Jewelz,' or 'NBN.' What's on Stephon Marbury's forearm? What's covering Cherokee Parks' entire body? In the Paint takes you in the locker room and as close as you can get to the tattoos and the stories of the NBA.

    Seems like a good read, and pretty cheap.

    Now for my take.....Birdman, JR Smith, Robert Swift, Kenyon Martin, Jason Williams and Allen Iverson have always stood out to me. I'm sure I'm leaving quite a few off of the list.

    Wow you ignored two posts by me with the pic of Artest with his visible tattoo. Maybe this will help you:
