Other Peoples’ Tattoos Are Interesting ‘Cause They Ain’t Mine

By Jon Bois

I don’t have any tattoos. And while I may get one someday, I almost think it’s better to vicariously enjoy other peoples’ body art, because I can get the enjoyment without putting in the commitment. This certainly applies to this gentleman’s Barry Bonds’ tattoo.

This guy’s artwork is remarkably high-concept. It’s the back of Bonds’ jersey, but wait! There’s Bonds himself! He’s on his own jersey! What’s the logical construct here? Is Bonds pointing toward an oversized jersey, or is it just a nonspecific conceptualization of Barry Bonds sentiment? More importantly, I notice that Bonds is off to the left. Is the space to the right saved for something he’s planning on inking in the future? I vote for a weeping Jeff Kent.
