I agree... my first thought was "Sweet Ed Hardy shirt Jordan."
Victorino’s clothing line looks just like it and apparently they make shirts vast enough to still mostly cover Andruw Jones too. Toolery sweeping the nation.

I have 2 Ed Hardy shirts
But I think a most of them are stupid looking. Plus, they’re expensive like no other

I was thinking that about Martini the first time I saw this. Loves it.

Chipper has a tribal ring on his bicep and i think JJ has one on his upper back. idk about Esco and im pretty sure Tommy doesnt have any.

Chipper has a bulls head on one arm, because he’s a Taurus. It may have a tribal ring around it. I remember he, Andruw and somebody else all got them in ST one year. It was right after Chipper and his first wife divorced.
Shouldn't Reid Gorecki get a shot in RF before that Heyward kid everybody talks about?
Andruw had the spider webs on his elbow. You think Bobby’s got any?

Funny, because that guy is the best pitcher in the world.
Q: If on-base pct is so important then why don't they put it on the scoreboard? -Failcoeur
A: Because the Braves don't want to show their fans how bad you suck.
Tim Lincecum?
He’s such a pussy. I remeber he bitched at Esco to hurry and get in the batters box while Yunel was doing his pre-AB ritual. Esco politely responded with a 400ft bomb to CF. I really don’t like that guy.

First off, if Medlen smokes pot, it’s really none of your business. And secondly, why try making a shaky connection like that? There’s really no reason to try and smear Medlen’s name, because of what you thought you might have seen. What does it say about our society when we conduct a witch hunt on every public figure who we think smokes cannabis, while paralelling expecting pretty much every proffessional athlete to consume alcohol, which is a much more damaging drug to the body, mind and society as a whole?

I was simply making an observation! Medlin is the one with what appears to be a pot leaf on his arm. I was just simply pointing out what he has brought to our attention. I have smoked pot in my life time and i don’t care who smokes on there time. I was simply saying i hope he is smarter about it then Lincecum. If you can show me how this is a smear campaign by all means show me the errors of my way!
I guess I just don’t think that five-pointed star shape is a pot leaf.

Right on. That would be funny if he had a tat of a pot leaf, tho. I wonder…..hmmm

haha he does chief 1:26 you can clearly see it. After looking it appears the upper arm has like some star fish and what appears to be a coy fish. The lower part of the arm clearly looks to be a pot leaf.

Medlen is a professional athlete. What he does on his own time is everyone’s business now. If he is breaking the law, people have a right to know about that.
Not saying he is a pot-head, but just making the general point.

I'd agree here...
with the exception of those who work in the public sector. “Public” officials can be considered as having some of their privates lives being public business. But others, I’d consider that either their own, or between them and their employers.
Well put, timmy3. Big deal if someone smokes pot. Who is worse- the Jose Cansecos, Ken Caminitis, and Billy Martins of the world or the Tim Lincecums, Bill Lees, and Khalid El-Amins of the world?
Buffaco, regrding the “i hope (Medlen) is smarter than Lincecum” comment… the only thing he did that wasn’t smart was allowing the search of his vehicle.

Schafer has the best tats of any one on the team, but Marteen’s tat on his bicep is pretty sick too

I’m 58 and had some tatoos done when I was young. I don’t recommend them as they become amorphous blobs in time. I have one where all the red in the tat has pretty much been absorbed by the purple, it was once a nice tatoo, now my son says “What the Hell is that supposed to be?” Oh I had it redone 12 years ago but it seemed to make it spread even faster. I told my daughter not to get them but she did anyway and 11 years later she’s seeing what I mean.
Senator, we have another old saying,"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining." Fletcher
Yeah
I have friends who have full sleeves, and I can’t help but wonder if they’ll regret it when they hit their fifties. I have five tattoos of my own, but they’re all easily concealed, and pretty spaced out. Even still, the ones on my shoulders I can imagine becoming some unsightly blobs in the future, but hey, maybe by 2045, they’ll have some cheap and easy way to get rid of them.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Agreed. Some of the tiny detail in mine has become nearly impossible to distinguish. Fortunately the now smudgy detail was a goofy looking freehand skull that wasn’t in the original design, so I’m not terribly unhappy about that. The rest of the tat is fine.
I guess it’s pretty easy for you to space 5 tats out over 468 lbs. Just take it easy on the PX90 or they’ll become blobs even faster.
Who cares if Medlen smokes weed
You guys act like he’s the only one who does it. Something like 35% of all guys age 18-25 smoke. And like someone said above: alcohol is 100x worse than weed, but no one ever says anything about that

i personally
don’t care if he smokes weed i have before to i just don’t want it to affect his game what he does on his own time is his choice. its just funny you think if he was getting a physical or something someone on the Braves FO would have caught that maybe have a sit down or talk with him about it.
It's not like he's puffing in the bullpen before he warms up.

Plus, his era in the 2nd half was 2.85. If smokin weed helps Kris pitch like that, then smoke away young fella

So.. are you saying that it's idiotic in general or as a professional athlete who gets paid to maintain their body and skillset?

Do I?
I could care less if a player has Josh Hamilton flame sleeves, 10 lip rings and a green mohawk if he does his job. I would express mild trepidation about a player having elaborate work done during the season. As long as it doesn’t affect his performance, it’s not my problem to take issue with.

Here’s a pic of the tattoo in question… Which he apparently already had during the ASB.
http://www.allornothingtattoo.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=7989&fullsize=1
They’re all clearly leaves, but generally an artistic interpretion of a pot leaf is going to have seven points and they all have five. So I guess it’s really just a matter of actually asking Kris what they are.
Here’s a shot of Schafer’s left arm too…

I hope that passage on his arm is an accurate prediction of what’s to come from him.

I bet they’re Japanese maple leaves. Koi fish have special meaning in Japan (I think), and his whole arm seems to be an aqua-related scene… Japanese maples then?
My goodness, Moylan’s tats are ridiculous.
Yeah i said they looked like pot leaves, but after seeing the koi they are Maple leaves

I wonder
If management has any limitations on tattoos. Like Prado was saying, it could affect your ability to swing for a bit.
I wondered that when Andruw got some lower sleeve work done on one of his arms
…The spider web looking stuff, because its arrival seemed to coincide with a pretty big slump. Not that much in his life doesn’t.

After a night of high stress but rewarding football games, I realized how much I missed the relaxing satisfaction of a good Braves game.
Anyways, I get my Colts vs Brees dream SB and hopefully a Braves-Twins dream WS.
Also, those Schafer tats are BAD A.
LETS GO COLTS!!!
I’m so ready for Super Bowl Sunday the anticipation is already killing me.

I've been missing said relaxing satisfaction as well.
Also, do you think Jordan cuts the sleeves off of his Ed Hardy douche shirts to show off the badassery?

i wouldnt
care if Jordan smoked crack or his whole body was tattooed i would forgive all that but NEVER the Ed Hardy douche shirts come on Jordan
Douche bag may not be the right word…but I agree tattoos are generally lame. There are a few cool tattoos that have some real meaning to people, like a lost family member or something, but most tend to be lame. My take on it is, what is so important to that you have to get it tattooed on you for the rest of your life?
My buddy just got a huge-ass tattoo on his back that said “Phileo” which means brotherly love. When he showed it to me, he was expecting me to think it was awesome, but it was just like “Brotherly love? Seriously?”

all or nothing
is where i got my tomahawk done on my arm
Maybe I take way too many pictures
Just came across these of Peter and Brandon – and JoJo – discussing tats, or maybe just baseball. From BP on May 20 09.
