I know Dennis Rodman was the first one to get his whole body inked.

After him, AI continued the trend. Now young stars like Carmelo and Lebron are getting inked.

I got 2 questions

1. Who was the very first NBA player to get a tattoo? (ever)

2. Who do you think started the trend?

George Mikan had a tattoo of Vern Mikkelsen's face on his left a$$ cheek.

Got no link for it though, just heard some seniors at my local Canasta club talking about it.

You actually think Kobe was the first guy in the league to get a tattoo? I don't know what drugs you're on, but I want some.

The question was who was the first in the NBA to get a tattoo, not who looks like the biggest tool because of their tattoo's.

No, I mentioned his name because he hadn't been brought up in the thread yet. That's all.

Citizen.Eras3d, where did you find those cartoon jersey pictures in our signature? Could you show me a link? They look pretty cool.

Someone else around here had one as well with a link to the site they got them from, I don't know what it is but I'll try to find it for you.
