It seems as though a lockout does crazy things to the human psyche…
Apparently the ongoing NFL lockout isn’t stopping all of the Green Bay Packers from getting their championship rings. Sam Shields, Green Bay cornerback is now sporting a reminder of the Packers 2011 championship; a reminder of the permanent variety. Now i’m no fan of tattoos (especially this one) but they are steadily becoming a party of the culture that surrounds professional sports. In today’s day and age, one would be hard pressed to go to a sporting event and not see some ink on the arm of an athlete. I’m not anti-tattoo, but this one seems a little over the top, especially considering the fact that if Shields ever regresses to… let’s say less than football shape, that “G” is going to look like a blob the size of Green Bay.
What do you think of Shields’ new ink? Leave me a comment, and while you’re at it, check out these other athletes that sport outlandish and bizarre tattoos.
