It seems as if you can not go anywhere without seeing someone that has their bodies adorned in tattoos, look at the famous basketball star Allen Iverson's tattoos for instance. Allen has been criticized for all the ink that he has on his body, but who is to say how many or how few tattoos a person is truly allowed.
Everyone has their own views on the tattooed generation. One thing does stand firm however, regardless of how many tattoos a person has on their body, they are still a person and they get the tattoos for their own underlying reasons. Before you can begin to understand things about Allen Iverson's tattoos you have to understand who he truly is as a person.
Expression is something that we all have. The first amendment gives everyone the right to express themselves as they deem fit. It's horrible that tattoos are the way that Allen expresses himself and he gets so much grief over it.
At the start of his career, Allen only had one single tattoo. People did not seem to make a big deal out of it from the start. The tattoo was of a bull dog and it could be found on the stars shoulder. People were used to see stars with one or two tattoos so no one really said anything about the stars body ink until now.
He was consistently criticized by people and called rebellious simply because he kept adding more tattoos to his body. However, ever tattoo that Allen has means something to him in its own special way. Some people draw off of words to get their inspiration, while others need a little bit more.
However, just because Allen has chosen to adorn his body with tattoos does not make him a bad person. In fact every tattoo that is depicted on the stars body has a special meaning to him. Whenever hes playing his heart out at a game or simply lounging around, he looks at his tattoos and draws all the inspiration that he needs in order to push himself forward from them.
