LOOK: Tattoos in the NBA through the years

Tattoos have long been a part of the culture of the NBA. From Allen Iverson‘s iconic tats to LeBron James‘ extensive ink collection, many players have used tattoos as a way to express themselves and tell their stories.

In the past, tattoos were seen as a sign of rebellion and were frowned upon by many. However, in recent years, they have become more accepted and even celebrated in the league. Many players now use their tattoos as a way to connect with fans and showcase their personal style. Some players even use them as a way to pay tribute to loved ones or to tell their life story.

You can see many examples of that in the pictures below:

TMZ Sports has learned … the Charlotte Hornets guard wanted the three wise monkeys who symbolize the motto inked on him this month, so he hit up his go-to artist, Mike Miller.

The Nets might be willing to accept a deal that includes a combination of sharpshooting point guard Terry Rozier, versatile wing Kelly Oubre Jr., former first-round pick P.J. Washington and draft compensation. The Nets are unlikely to accept Gordon Hayward back in an Irving deal, according to a league source, as Hayward is due in excess of $60M over the next two seasons and has had a number of injuries that have kept him off the floor the past two seasons. -via New York Daily News / June 30, 2022

Jack Bienvenue, an 18-year-old who graduated from Cape Cod Technical High School last weekend, had seen his beloved Boston Celtics climb from the basement of the Easten Conference all the way to fourth place. So when his friends were arguing over who was going to win the title, he didn’t understand what there was to debate. “I said, ‘I’m so confident the Celtics will win it, I’ll get a tattoo of the (2022 banner),” Bienvenue told The Athletic. “My friend said, ‘No you wouldn’t’. So I was like, ‘Screw you guys, I’m getting it done.’”

Ezekiel Elliott showed off his new ‘FEED ME’ stomach tattoo after touchdown

FEED ZEKE.

You’re not going to find a running back in the NFL who doesn’t want the ball. But only Ezekiel Elliott has gone as far as to tattoo that message on his stomach.

The Cowboys need to feed Zeke.

During Sunday’s Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams at the new SoFi Stadium, Elliott found the end zone on a sensational run after the catch where he juked out four Rams players simultaneously.

That scoring effort presented the perfect opportunity to show off his tattoo as his touchdown celebration. Elliott lifted up his jersey and revealed the “FEED ME” message to the NFL world.

And, of course, the tattoo included a spoon. It had to include the spoon.

But I must say, you have to appreciate the longterm potential of getting “FEED ME” permanently inscribed on your belly. Sure, right now, it applies to football. But it’ll be a great tattoo when those six-pack days are over for Zeke.

He had an ironing board out when I arrived and I wondered about it since I had no idea how to use one. He was a shy kid and had those big, jug ears and said as an adolescent he couldn’t get dates. Little known is he has a tattoo, an omega horseshoe above his left breast that he always was a bit sensitive about. He also had developed this habit of sticking his tongue out when he played ball, something his father did when he was working on cars back home, a hobby of James’. The other kids made fun of Michael for the gesture.

“Every time I look at my tattoos, it …

“Every time I look at my tattoos, it puts me back in the perspective of time, or the inspiration behind it,” James says. “So that’s all part of the journey.” In that way, the Lakers’ All-Stars aren’t so different than the tattooed fans who rooted from Bryant from afar. They weren’t ready to let go, so they got something permanent they could hold onto. Ortega is a committed bodybuilder. In his Instagram profile picture he’s flexing bulging biceps in a gold No. 24 Bryant jersey. And though he connects first and foremost to Bryant’s love of family, he says, part of the reason he wanted a tattoo after Bryant’s death was so that he could look at his forearm on the days when the weight is a struggle and “see that it’s Kobe basically telling me, ‘You better not fuck around. Push through it.’”
