I don't have any tattoos but if I was an athlete in the NFL and especially a famous one at that, if my tattoo artist didn't sign the waiver release then best believe he won't see my business or any of my ppls business. Matter of fact since this is apart of the NFL symposium for players to know in advance, I wouldn't get tatted by anyone who refused to sign the waiver up front before doing work. That's a bad PR move to tattoo artist because it stems beyond video games. They could legitimately f*** up endorsement dollars with that foolishness.

I do acknowledge that many players have tattoos long before they reach the NFL but you should have an idea of who did your work.
