I get that the NFL doesn't want the hassle with tat artists but wouldn't you think that the tat artists would want the exposure of they're own work?? Makes sense to me. Hell i have tattoos and if i ever saw a sick tat in game and knew who did it I'd definitely look into that artists work for the future. Idk thats just MO.
