Alright having a tatoo does not make you a thug. I think it depends on the drawing and where it is placed on the body. I have 4 tatoo's on me at the current moment and am planning to add more. I have the chinese character of love on my right arm, peace on my left arm, happines on my lower back (all in chinese characters) and a tribal like cross down my back. Whether or not they are classy is all based on individual opinions. I really doubt that Yao will have any tatoos ever. He looks as someone who just doesn't swing to that sort of style.
i really hope he doesnt deface his body in an attempt to make us feel better about him as a basketball player.
alright how about this: not all people with teech are thugs, but almost all thugs have teeth. idiocy....
HAHA i dont know about all that BUT its not gona help his image in China much so he wouldn't do it. People over there look up to him kids ect. Tatoo wouldnt go well with lots of peps there, they are more conservative than the US is
