Welcome to SLC Dunk, the Utah Jazz blog on SB Nation. Make sure to check out the update to this story: An explanation of Andrei's tattoo.

This is crazy . . . see more here.

[Note by Basketball John, 05/07/11 7:49 PM MDT ] Hat tip to Alexis Holt on twitter for finding this. Here's another shot and here's a closeup. Just crazy work from vicback. And here's a bit of confirmation on twitter that it's AK. Not that I doubted given that mane.

BTW

That’s a great tat. Btw, his current deal is expired, no? If it is, I doubt that he will come back to Utah. the Jazz regretted signing him to that 85$ million dollar contract. I doubt they’ll resign him since they’re heading for a rebuild.

I wonder if he got tatted anywhere else... maybe on his..... yknow.... ?

Crazy tat!

But I have my doubts about it being legit. Is this the same AK that said he was against getting tats? Could be photoshoped.

I wonder

if he’s going to finish it off with some sleeves. Maybe he’ll come back next year full of tattoos.

How can anyone say it's "not Andrei"?

Would he really get this huge of a tattoo if it “wasn’t him”?

Looks Awesome, by the way.

cool tat

i liked Korver’s side tat better…. maybe those wings will get him start one handed jammin’ it again.. if he’s back next year.

is this his first tat?

cause if so, that’s a little like learning to swim by jumping off the side of an aircraft carrier. Props for going big on his first try, I guess.

I hope he gets more ink than Birdman by next season

I think it was probably an infection.

He caught the bird flu from him, and these are the consequences.

So...

Now the NBA needs to start having shirts vs. skins games, I guess?

question!

what is it??

by Crystall on May 9, 2011 8:01 PM MDT reply actions

its a dragon with a dragon rider

the dragon legs/tail/wings are easily seen. the head of the dragon is vearing over his right shoulder and in the middle you can see an armored knight like figure with a shield. and honestly to people who are saying this is a scary tat/not suitable for kid tat/what other bs they are talking… grow the eff up. look at all other tattoos on other players. some gang related, some are naked chicks and they are on their arms. this is his back which last time i checked they do wear jearseys.
