I know this thread is quite old, but how many players (big name ones anyhow) don't have Tattoos?

lockyer?

 

[Bman26]

Smith, Cronk?

 

[Spot On]

I think there's so many tats these days that they should do the reverse - RLW should do each issue with teams showing off who HASN'T got any tats! Surely there's more with than without these days.

Either that or they should do an expose on the players that are stupid enough to need their surname tattooed in huge leatters above their belly button, or across their shoulder like a name on a jersey :lol:

Yeah. What's the thinking behind these tats? Purpose to it or a fad?

Smith, Cronk?

Pretty sure that Cronk has a Premiers one on him...

 

[user_nat]

I would have thought most players who have won a premiership would have something.

None. They are all individuals.

In $BW's case, it was so his merkin manager knew who he was shafting...

Smith, Cronk?

Pride of their family maybe?

Corey Parker's arm tat is the gayest. I'm sure it says "parker" scrawled around his arm. The funny thing is it's not even coloured in.

How whack is that?

Preston Campbell refused to get a tat after the 2003 Grand Final,

Parker's got a mean fend. I remember he was going for a try once and Karmichael Hunt was in support, he didn't really see who it was, pushed him so hard he fell on his arse.

MRI Scans:
http://www.uthct.edu/drmom/tattoosandmris.asp

'''However, many people with tattoos may eventually need to have an MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for some type of medical diagnosis. An MRI scan is a radiology technique that uses magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures.

The magnet creates a strong magnetic field that aligns the protons of hydrogen atoms, which are then exposed to a beam of radio waves. This spins the various protons of the body, and they produce a faint signal that is detected by the receiver portion of the MRI scanner. The receiver information is processed by a computer, and an image is produced. The image and resolution produced by MRI is quite detailed and can detect tiny changes of structures within the body.

There has been recent concern that the pigments used in decorative tattoos or permanent cosmetics may cause distortion in the images produced by the MRI. The type of ink used in tattoos and permanent cosmetics may also contain small metal fragments or iron oxide and may cause a warm or burning sensation at the tattoo site...

Hepatitis & HIV

Is There Really a Link?

Research from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases showed that out of 3,871 people studied (half with hepatitis C and half without), there was a significant association between having one or more tattoos and having hepatitis C. In short, the study found that people with hepatitis C were about three times more likely to have tattoos. This study did not prove causality, but is suggestive of a link between having a tattoo and hepatitis infection.
How Can Tattoos Spread Hepatitis?

Getting a tattoo requires that your skin be pierced by a needle and injected with tiny amounts of ink. The bigger the tattoo, the more injections you'll need, and each injection brings the needle in to contact with your blood (and only once is needed to spread disease). This isn't a problem if that needle is kept isolated, but what happens if the artist already used your needle on someone else? Then you're now exposed to any microbes (bacteria, viruses) in that person's blood, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and even HIV.
