    With the money he makes, only the best. Not sure I'd want that much ink. There's some concern for those that get too much ink for Melanoma but unknown for black men. It's his body but man I'd have a hard time with that much ink and it's in spot you can't ever see it.

    Any ways, if I were him, I'd have gotten some kind of Gaelic runes of protection or better yet, a few good Bible quotes on protection because he's going to need it.

    Don’t know why he went to the trouble of one sitting. He had most Sundays last fall to get it done incrementally.

    Yes...one's liberty (or free agency) can either lift one to great heights or...
    bring one crashing down to bedrock.

    I love tattoos. I respect someone’s decision not to get them but have no clue why anyone would question/ridicule someone who does. (Unless it’s playing cards or praying hands or your own name lol) I love the art and if he loved it good for him…. But this is every bad trope in one tattoo.

    I called BS… I have tattoos on my leg several on my back one arm is completely sleeved and I’m working on the other now. You take the pain you deal with it you let it heal and you go for your next one. End of story.

    Ya, it doesn't really scream "though guy" does it. Hopefully he will learn to play through pain some day.

    It’s beautifully done. I dislike tattoos, would never get one, but it’s not my body.

    The first thing that came to my mind was how much that must of cost to be put asleep on top of the tattoo artist. Seems like a monumental waste of post tax money. Its probably because I watched the netflix special of broke athletes.

    His bank account is overflowing today, but no one knows where he'll be in 10 years. He may be a superstar, out of the league, or somewhere in between. Worst thing is, its not always up to the athlete. Injury risk is a part of the game and he's not exactly had a track record of being the most durable qb.

    I can definitely appreciate the artwork. Much better than the guy in my dorm showing off his Winn-Dixie “U.S.D.A.” Tattoo on his butt. But yeah, they’re not for me. You don’t put bumper stickers on a Lamborghini.

    It’s a jumbled mess of cliche tatoos.

    You're judging others for judging tats....then judging his tats as 'as every bad trope in one tattoo'. o_O

    I don't get tats. Don't understand the appeal of staining one's skin with cheap ink, don't get it as 'art', and don't care for it at all. But if one is going to commit so thoroughly to 'art' as to stain their skin with it, then they either cover it up....or they undisputably invite critique into the art they've chose to stain their skin with.

    Just as you did, by characterizing AR's Tattoo, as 'every bad trope in one tattoo'.

    Judge away on the tat(s).

    suggest checking oneself in judging judges who are essentially invited to judge.
