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.
