15 Sports Themed Tattoos

We've all seen the tattoo covered athlete, such as "King of the Bros" Colin Kaepernick's covered arms that you have seen when he does his (oh, so classy) bicep kiss. Also seems like tats are contract mandated in the NBA so many stars have them.

But, we wanted to take a look at specific sports themed tattoos from fans & athletes - some are pretty cool, some? ...not so much.

  • NASCAR TATS - nothing says "NASCAR fan" like a terrible Dale Earnhardt tat.

 

 

And who wouldn't love a "NASCAR Girl"?

 

 

  • BOXING - Boxers love to love themselves as this tat readily attests to. "I like me!"

 

 

and some sweet(!) bloody gloves on Arturo Gatti ...

 

 

  • Olympics - Evidently you can't swing a cat in the Olympic village without hitting an Olympic rings tattoo

 

 

  • PGA - Golf & Tats? Not usually a combo you see a lot, but here's a Masters tat - Go hardcore golf fan!

 

 

  • BASKETBALL - The meta sport of athletes & tattoos!

 

But, he's not wearing Air Jordan's?

 

Brooklyn Nets v Washington Wizards

 

Hey - self-love is not only for the Boxers - Carlos Boozer likes himself too!

 

 

Texas & Basketball - in one tattoo. And it's big 'cause...TEXAS!

 

USA Basketball Senior National Team Training Day 3

 

  • SOCCER - yep, even the beautiful game..

 

"Don't Foul Me Bro!"

 

 

  • ODDS & ENDS

 

This says DUCKNUT - we are not that kinda website.

 

 

Vin Scully tat anyone? Why yes, I think I will...

 

 

...And finally this one. No real way to test the veracity of this claim, but it is on this gentleman's forehead
