Agree 100% Karen, its their choice whether they get a tattoo or not its a personal choice be it a RL Pro or a doctor etc.
I couldn't give a rats bottom if a player is tattooed from head to toe as long as they play well for my team. I don't watch RL for a clean cut image I watch it for the game itself, mind you I have to say some of the hairstyles being sported by players leaves a lot to be desired and think they need to seek professional help from a barber .
As for tattoo's and the affect it has on a sport or personality it ain't done Mr Beckham much harm or football.
So its neither a Yay or Nay from me as its personal choice by each individual.
