What is it with all these sportsmen and their tats?

Imagine having to explain to your grandchildren one day, when those muscles have sagged, the eagle on your shoulder has turned into a wrinkled vulture, and you're no longer married to the woman whose name is engraved on your arse...



Clarke



Michalak



Johnson



Flintoff



Cooper

Aye, overall it's just a shallow 'look at me' thing to do. They always come with a story explaining why. I couldn't give a flying f*ck, personally, why you have a Tweetie Pie toting a gun on your calf...

Beckham's most visible one is in some ways worse. Like a stress buzzard at his neck.

I say "worst", because I have no way of knowing who has "Mother", Invader Zim or Homer Simpson inked into his peenis. Possibly Kev.

Agreed. Gaywadish behaviour.

Michalak apparently has a sponsor's logo engraved on Monsieur Guillaume, though I'm not sure just what the sponsors expect of him. Judging by the myriads of pics of him starkers littering the Internet, and the fact that he advertises a brand of condoms, probably frequent exposure.

Having tats as a sportsman tends to suggest you're a c*nt. Clarke, Johnson, Cooper, KP.......even Fred had his moments.

I always thought that tac was the type to have tats.

Nah, they're pretty taboo in Japan.

Yakuza?

If a Japanese person sports numerous tattoos, people will often assume they are Yakuza.

Tac seems the type of guy who frequently scours Yakuza 'establishments'......

Their tats are all out of view.

Unless they use the communal baths...

Hey, I just noticed Cybernanny has removed the pic of Michalak - and the sponsor's logo wasn't even in view!
