World’s Most Garish Sports Tats
By Kyle | November 18, 2009
The invincible Rick Reilly on guns, incorrect bible references and unfortunate spelling in pro athletes’ tattoos. What do you call a typo on a design inked into a man’s skin? Also, just wondering but given that poor people are unlikely to be able to afford tattoo removal and given that everyone ages, how long will it be before tats are associated with poor, old people and become disgustingly uncool?

I miss the old Reilly, who was snarky enough to take on targets that didn’t only cross his p.c. sensibilities. His “Dean Smith is a great man because he’s liberal, and he forces his players to visit death row inmates” column was sanctimony at its lowest.
Now we get the pleasure of reading him across from Bill Simmons - the anti-Reilly - who decries journalists for their lack of balls while having no temerity to walk into a locker room himself. Reilly’s penance - play the old codger to Simmons and his new anti-journalism.

I wish that tattoos were disgustingly uncool, and the same with multiple ear piercings. Johnny Depp had “Winona Forever” changed to “Wino Forever,” which seems worse than wearing your old girlfriend’s name for the rest of your life.

Tats will go the way of cigs.

Megan Fox says every time she gets a tat it’s a personal “FU” to people who told her not to do it.
Waiting for someone to tell her not to put her head in a tree chipper.
If a beautiful woman is going to put words all over her body, then it should at least be something useful like baseball play by play descriptions to help you, um, concentrate.
