"Athletes and Their Tattoos?" (Introducing Bruce DeWith)

Hey Gang! My sources got close enough to the players to take some pictures - and I got to put them all together in the lab...they are creative and unique... personal... let's take a look shall we?

He must love birds! I bet he knew people who died in 9/11 and he was PISSED enough to get that drawn on his chubby little pig arm! For life! To get revenge and remember that buildings were blown up in AMERICA!

Here's one with a hidden meaning...Shaq calls himself Shaq Diesel, meaning big or something! and Superman meaning HE'S THE BEST ... not the other people with Superman tattoos or tattoos that may say "I AM THE BEST" or "HEY! I'M # 1" but he is saying "I AM" with this Superman tattoo... but I wonder, can he...you know, like Superman? is he as good in bed? or is he just a Clark Kent?

Now heres one that takes a bit of explaining! Tupac who is DEAD and I AM ALIVE! BRUCE DEWITH IS ALIVE AND 2 PAC IS DEAD! I LIVE!... 2 Pac had a catchy chart topper "All Eyez on Me" spelled with a "z" because he was from the hip hop world where people spell things differently, like little kids, dress like little kids and act like little kids, but if you say anything, they'll get MAD, trust me! (I had to do a source awards one time, for bet.com) so this guy spelled it with an "S" I guess college PAID OFF, enough for him to get a giant tattoo quoting a 2pac song on his back for life.. and what it means is "HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME!"

This one has to be a personal FAV. He's got barbed wire around his bicep like a little design! hello? Who would ever think of using BARBED WIRE as a little artsy border pattern!?? He must be TOUGH right? If he's willing to get that close to barbed wire! He's saying I'M ROUGH STAND BACK! I AM BARBED WIRE, I'LL HURT YOU, (Barbed wire is used to keep people in or out from a certain area. Webster Dictionary 1994 @) And he's got the AMERICAN EAGLE!!! Something tells me, and it's NOT MY SOURCES this time, that this guy got this American tribute on September 12th 2001, or some day after September 11th, I say after because I'm guessing the tattoo places were closed that day, or he didn't have time to know it was terrorism yet, or know anything until the news TOLD HIM what happened, and then maybe a few months later him and his wife talked about it and decided he had to do something to support America in killing of other people. Well let me tell you, along with the barbedwire, IT WORKS, I'm not messing with with this guy!

Ah this one is fabulous. It looks like from what I can see, a tribute to a DEAD BABY, a cartoon dead baby drawn on his arm, so he will remember that little dead baby forever...also writing on his FOREARM! MYSTERIOUS! I BET it has something to do with the BIBLE because I can make out the word "God".... atheltes believe God gives them "the strength" but this guy WROTE A VIGNETTE, I bet it's taken from THE BIBLE! and he's a religious man... saying "HEY! IF YOU DIE AND I KNOW YOU, I'LL REMEMBER YOU FOREVER BY PUTTING A CARTOON VERSION OF YOU WHEN YOU DIED ON ME IN PERMANENT POISONOUS INK and then I'LL WRITE STUFF I BELIEVE IN FROM BEING TOLD BY MY PARENTS AND SCHOOL TEACHERS AND LOCAL RELIGIOUS PLACE ON MY SKIN AS WELL to get the full amazing package!" An "A plus" on that guy! or should I just give him the "plus" sign which looks like just a cross!

I can't heeeeeeaaaarrrr yoouuuu!!??? My sources didn't get the lighting right in this one... Sorry gang I just can't see what is permanently written on this guys arm, oh well...

Ah this fella has the SUN and some little old people from Africa! The sun is an important thing! It gives us heat and light, we literally revolve around it! I know I'm thinking the same thing, heat and light... revolve around it and it's NOT Paris Hilton... But in the OLD DAYS Egyptians really loved the sun, it was like their... Johnny Depp! And some African American people really get into old Egypt and change their name or get things written on them to say "HEY IM NOT JUST A TYPICAL AFRICAN AMERICAN! I AM INTO EGYPT, 'INTO' PROBABLY MEANING I BELIEVE WE ALL COME FROM THERE ON SOME LEVEL OR SOMETHING, BUT WHEN I SAY 'WE ALL' I GET MAD WHEN WHITE PEOPLE ARE INCLUDED BUT I WILL STILL SAY 'WE ALL' BECAUSE TECHNICALLY I HAVE TO IF MY WHOLE EGYPT THEORY IS TRUE, BUT STILL I - I AM IN THE CLOSET ABOUT WHITES NOT COMING FROM THERE, IM SERIOUS, I WONT LET THEM CLAIM IT, BUT SURE I'LL MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PART OF MY TEAM, BUT AS SOON AS THERE AREN'T ANY WHITES AROUND, I'LL MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I DIDN'T MEAN THEM AS INCLUDED IN 'WE ALL COME FROM EGYPT'!

Woooah woooah woooah I'm on FIRE, somebody put me out! Flames! Where are they coming from? Where are they going? THIS guy is saying "HEY... I'm FIRE, I'm tough and hard to deal with, I'll burn you, I'm a mean guy, probably not really mean, but I'm fast and crazy, I live life a little more wild than say a priest or something!"
Another dead baby cartoon, DON'T FUCK WITH MY MEMORY OF A DEAD BABY PAL! 1986 - 1989! was more 3 years than you'll ever have! And I waited until probably the mid 90's to get it... SO WHAT!?

He LOVES doing this pose, and I'm sure he knows what those words mean!

This one is unique! a cross with wings, it must be religious symbolism, a metaphor or something, that is personal to him. Wings are usually associated with a bird, or flying. And a cross usually means the death of a Jewish man named Jesus who has become a religious figure. It can also mean "Germany"...If it's the relgious take on it, he's saying "HEY, I AM RELIGIOUS, JUST LETTING YOU KNOW I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S OKAY FOR ME TO HAVE SEX WITH PROSTITUES AND SLUTS AND RANDOM CHICKS, BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT I THINK THE BIBLE IS SERIOUS!" Judging by the placing of it, he was probably betting "I'll never have to get a real job because if I do, with this tatoo, I'm fucked!"

WELL GANG there you have it! The sources that I have, that talk to me, they call me, talk to me, they got CLOSE to the play to grab you these ACTION SHOTS of your favorite young good looking celebrities, that you want to KNOW MORE ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL LIVES and who are famous from playing SPORTS!
May the Bruce De With you!
