Lawson's ties to Nuggets deepen with new ink

Bird_mediumThe thing most Nuggets fans or fans around the NBA like to talk about is how the Nuggets unofficially lead the league in tattoos. Chris Andersen showed off his new "Free Bird" neck ink at his basketball camp and now Ty Lawson shares a new over-the-shoulder half-sleeve tattoo on his Twitter account.

Star-divide

 

 

Always a fan of the ink, it's fun to keep track of the Nuggets new art. Who else will be sports new artwork for the upcoming season?

I forgot to include this picture of Renaldo Balkman's latest eyelid tattoos.

I saw that twitpic when he posted it

Pretty nice tattoo…as far as tattoos go I mean.

You know it’s a slow news day for the Nuggets when this article is front page’d though…;)

Ty's got an advantage (or disadvantage)

depending on how you feel about it. He is dark enough to where it not TOO noticeable but you can definitely see it. I like it

MELO!!!

not bad

sorta generic but looks ok. birdman’s makes it look like he’s wearing a neck brace of some kind.

JR has the best tattoos of anybody. At least his arm sleeves. I thought the neck ones were pretty cool till he started coloring em in red. Birdman’s wings are pretty cool too.

Um

Anybody with tattoos in the league has something generic like that. Player, a ball, a hoop, meh, lame.

I like his tattoo

And seriously, a lot of people do that.

LeBron is the worst. He dedicated his entire f*cking back to himself

Antoine Walker will win the 2015 NBA 4-point shooting contest. That's right, I said it first.

Better than Richard Jefferson and Tyson Chandler's

Both just have thier names tattooed on their arms. How brilliant is that?

maybe sometimes when they fill out bank account forms they forget their names

and then they just look down at their arm and go ohhhh yeah

Boozer has something similar

Where he’s standing with a basketball below a mountain.

Why doesn't he just carry a mirror around instead

When someone gets a tattoo of themselves I think it’s weird. Then again, maybe his tattoo is of someone else wearing a Lawson jersey. The guy in the tattoo doesn’t seem to have a tattoo on his left shoulder so it can’t be Lawson.

by MMGraves on Jul 1, 2010 9:14 AM MDT reply actions  

Yeah I never understood that

People getting their names or initials inked. Do you foree forgetting your awesome initials or signature at some point? You’re on national TV several times a year. I’m sure people recognize who you are, no need to remind them by pulling up your sleaves to prove it.

Not really a big fan of tatoos

Mostly just because 90% of the ones I see just blow my mind in terms of how dumb they are, but I salute Lawson for making it through Nuggets initiation. I like the mountain too.

Mountain?

In his tattoo? I see a pyramidal shape in there, but it looks more like a heavenly light from on high than a mountain. Or an encounter of the fourth kind.

Nah man

The backboard is beaming him up.

Lawson has a tattoo now? Sweet!

Looks awesome. :]

Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
