Andrei Kirilenko’s frightening new tattoo

[Scorpion]

This is Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko's(notes) new tattoo. It takes up his entire back, it was done a person whose Twitter account can be found here, and it's ridiculously frightening.
Not only am I suggesting to children that they not get a tattoo that looks like this, I am suggesting to children that they not read Ball Don't Lie for the next day or so, until we can compile enough posts to push this one into the website's archives. It's a lovely spring day, go play outside.
And try not to have nightmares about Andrei Kirilenko's new tattoo.

playing for a team in Utah will do that to ya. you know the big mormon thing. the players want to either leave or they want to stand out and make sure the whole nba knows they are not squares.

Looks pretty cool to me. It certainly beats the tribal arm band or the Chinese characters that all the frat boy types and wanna bee hard asses got.

[Ralphie1412]

guy can't even see it unless he looks in a mirror. what a waste

You know what's really not cool to me?
Tribal arm bands that every square has
The Irish Flag tatoo that every Irish or Irish wannabe has
A picture of your mom
Your ex's name
Some stupid quote nobody wants to bother to read
Some Ying/Yang with your best friend
Chinese characters
or some words like "strength, character"

Basically 90% of tats are gay

The Mormons will not approve of this

I agree 99 pecent of tats are gay. The reason it just went up 9 percent is because of AK's AWFUL back tattoo.

The NBA is a bunch of fugly brothers with tats of their grandmas on their arms but you're making fun of this cat with a dragon tat on his back? How about home boy with granny on his shoulder? How about that bird man creature in Denver?

[tunaguitar76]

I think its a great peice of art and the tattoo artist did a hell of a job. He has the money to go to one of the best tattoo artists in the world and he/she did a amazing job.

embarrassingly lame

would this be considered ironic?

[AMBlai01]

stay classy....

[AntDaAZN]

At least when he puts on his jersey, we won't be able to see most of it . . .

Him or Birdman? Lol.

[Jimmy Proffett]

It looks like a cool picture. Putting it on your entire back, however, seems weird.

Edit: Plus it reminds me of Ralph Fiennes' tattoo in the movie "Red Dragon". Great flick.

[FrozenMAN]

aye who gets a tatoo let alone something like that...aye.....now when the wife lets him cheat on her once a year he can find a goth chick as he's in with that crowd now

[wtt0315]

looks like something from world of warcraft
