Nate's new tattoo: what do you think?

[Stu]

When I saw that the other day, I thought it was something he had shaved into his neck beard.  LOL.

it is his body and he likes it, thats all that matters.

What if he had tatooed a Confederate flag on his back? Would that matter?
At some point you gotta stop trying to compensate for something

has anyone noticed this? it looks like an 8 on his neck in very dark ink - almost looks like Taz's 13 (from ECW)

according to NBA style watch he got it before game 4 of the ORL series...seems weird to do at that time of year

regardless, he's gotten some playing time since he got it, so that works

Looks painful!

Any significance you can think of for the "8"?

I thought for a second it was a red sox B and I almost fell out of my chair...

Don't think he should have had it done before game 4... what about infection risk etc?

Kind of looks like the Bentley logo, but more like an 8.

How do you go get a tat in the middle of a series?  Those can result in illness, no?  At least sometimes?

a confederate flag....u got to be kidding me.  i told u in the past, i refuse to speak about anything regarding race or ethnicity with you, so i wont go there with u now.

why does he have to compensate for anything?  maybe he just likes tattooing.  who are you to judge what someone else chooses to do with their body?!?!

I thought it looked cool at first glance, but it doesn't matter to me. I doubt he'lll be back next year anyway.

did make me wonder why he didn't pick the jersey #8 - maybe didn't want to be a repeat of Marbury (or Sprewell in NY)

Not really.. Not if you're going to a respectable tattoo shop and aren't letting one of your friends do it with an electric toothbrush with a guitar string for a needle and fecal matter as ink.

But I think Nate can afford to go out and spend money on a tattoo, so it's fine with me.

It looks like he had a tracheostomy with the dressing and collar tattooed on his neck.  That's an RN's opinion, anyway.

Looks like Nate got another one before Game 1 with the Lakers.
