Anonymous asked: Hey, I'm a journalism student who is writing an article on the tattoo industry/tattoo culture for one of my classes. I was wondering if you would be all right with me citing you/your information in my story, because I feel like the prominence of tattoos in sports (especially basketball) has helped the rise in popularity of tattoos in general. I was also wondering if you would have any statistics from seasons before 2010-2011. I've always wondered how prevalent tattoos were in the NBA, so thanks!
of course! Feel free to cite as needed and if you have additional questions you can email me at nbatattoos@gmail.com. Sadly I don’t have statistics prior to the 2010-11 season. A 2002 Village Voice article titled 36 Tattoos (click on the previous text to open the article) reports that 35% of NBA players were tattooed in 1998, and at the start of the 2002-03 season, more than 50% of players had tattoos. But I’m not sure the origin of that statistic.
