Opinion Five Worst AFL Player Tattoos

[bunsen burner]

Give it up loser.

Give up what? I'm not the one having a hissy fit because some random on the interweb thinks getting tatts of humans is a bogan thing to do. You need to get over it.

And you need to get some decency.

Out.

you need some tissues.

That Armfield tattoo is horrible. Luckily he can't see it back there.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

the one on his neck looks terrible.
Looks like he has a tie on and needs to loosen it asap but it's thing so fair enough but strange place to have a tattoo imo.

yeah that's fair enough - can't say I'm a huge fan either but as long as he is playing well and staying out of trouble, doesn't bother me too much!

Some have said he needs to think about his life after footy and that his tattoos might disadvantage him find employment once his career finishes but I think Dusty is more likely to go for a job outside of the white collar world (maybe something like a trade or something) so maybe they won't hinder him moving forward.

Putting a tatt on your neck is just plain dumb. He's not a Rhodes Scholar so it's probably not going to affect his post football employment prospects, but the whole thing just reeks of "I think I'm a bad kent" and "look how rebellious I am. Body of a 28 year old, mind of a 15 year old"

yeah can see where you're coming from regarding the employment - as I said in another post, doubt Dusty will go for a white collar kind of job (especially since he left school early). Would probably be more suited to something more hands on so the tatts might not make much difference anyway.

Not sure why but there seems to be a bit of stigma in society about tattoos and people (heck I'm guilty of judging some people for the types of tattoos they have too). In Dusty's defence, the tatts obviously have some sentimental value to him and his heritage. I don't think he got them just purely to be some kind of 'tough guy' though only he would be able to say either way.

 

[Wosh]

Ben Cousins 'Such is Life' a fitting tatt for an arrogant wanna be gansta

 

[NarrowMind]

Carlisle has the names of his sisters tattooed on his body.

Well this bloke is never getting laid.

 

[HBFlanker]

That is horrible

 

[Smell The Glove]

What? No mention of Rioli?:

Sorry, that should be RIOLI.

 

[Silvagnis]

Well this bloke is never getting laid after he retires.

*fixed*

 

[NarrowMind]

Couldn't see him grabbing anything these days either.

 

[thebluelagoon]

i can't see what all the negativity with Swan and Beams tats are. Tats are about expressing who you are. be real to yourself. if you feel like a drug dealer who has spent half you life in prison, but can afford real tats, hell, you go girl!
what i don't understand is why the rest of the collingwood team are so clean skinned?

I think young Dyson will live to regret this:

Read that Swan Districts players can be dodgy people...

Arny loves getting inked.

Thoughts of home are never far from Tuohy's mind. He has decorated his left arm with a series of tattoos (and plans to get "a lot more"). Most of them are family-related.

An inscription on the underside of his bicep also holds special significance as it honours two friends who committed suicide: an old schoolmate in 2008, and a Gaelic football teammate in 2010. This traumatic period coincided with Tuohy's initial babysteps at Carlton.

He wanted to honour his fallen mates with tattooed prose about mental health and contentment, and stumbled across a verse from 16th century English poet Sir Edward Dyer. It reads: My mind to me a kingdom is / Such present joys therein I find / That it excels all other bliss / The world affords or grows by kind.

Reimers - Looks like he just walked into a tattoo shop and picked something off the wall.
Bower - Stupid looking tribal.
Walters - Similar to Reimers.
Edwards and Membrey - Palm trees? Really?

Tempted to throw Swans name in here too, not so much for the sleeve but the tattoos on his knuckles. I can appreciate a nice tattoo, but the hands and face are a no-go.

Daisy Thomas has a tattoo of a horse on his butt-cheek.
Can't he just buy underpants with a picture of a horse on it?

I don't get the logic of the whole tattoo thing. For starters, it looks incredibly ugly and dirty and a tainted brown/grey colour on the skin. The one that Melbourne player wears Nathan Jones is about the worse- just a mess of rusted grey-brown on his arm. But how to do you qualify worse when they are all the worse?

Do they think it makes them look tougher? I immediately think they are stupid when I see people with tattoos- not tougher, but more stupid. I had a reasonable amount of respect for Daisy Thomas before I found about a tattoo of a horse. I guess we are all flawed in our own way. Live and learn.

 

[estibador]

I reckon Nathan Jones has the best looking sleeve I've ever seen.

Maybe the only decent looking sleeve I've ever seen.

Pitty this is about AFL players,

It's lime me getting a tattoo of the union jack. A bit of maori blood and is trying to jump on the bandwagon

School holidays are wicked

Not really sure for Dusty it's about 'jumping on the bandwagon' given he got them with his dad once he turned 18.

At a guess, I would assume Maori people or people of Maori descent probably feel a strong affiliation to their cultural background than your average caucasian person would feel towards the union jack.

True but I do question how entrenched in the Maori culture Dusty is. But at the end of the day it's his skin
