Trey Burke, Inked Up
Repping the Columbus Clippers. Columbus tattoo parlors do good business...
hat tip http://www.landgrantholyland.com/2013/6/20/4448930/michigans-trey-burke…That is horrific looking.
if the Burke, Hardaway BTN the journey episode is online anywhere. I cant find it.
But you can't take Columbus out of the player.
Nice Ink, Trey. We appreciate you waiting until Ann Arbor was behind you.
Are you implying that Trey got a tattoo of Columbus on his arm after he got a tattoo of Ann Arbor on his behind? /s
I had to look up the columbus clippers. Is that wrong? I had forgotten that's where Drew Henson eventually ended up when the damn Yankees drafted him.
I'd happily defend Trey Burke's right to get any sort of tattoo he wanted.
What I, and others, would question is the good sense in getting an extravagant series of tattoos. When your future and your potentially vast fortune depend on yhour physical fitness, the risk of Hepatitis C and infection associated with tattoos seems to be an unreasonable one, if not a ridiculous one.
I'd like to think that the Michigan Athletic Department is counseling student-athletes on that risk.
The risk is present, but overblown if you go to a legit place rather than a seedy dive where a lice-ridden neckbeard named Murph puts it on with a sharpened guitar string. I mean, pro BBall players are almost all inked in some way...how many of them have gotten hepatitis or infection because it of it?
I have one, and I was actually in the shop when the latest delivery of needles arrived. I got to see my needle delivered by the FedEx guy, opened for the first time in front of me...and then sterilized again. I'd need to do some digging, but I wouldn't be shocked if the rates of adverse effects from tattoos varied wildly just between shops.
Whoa, 500%? Yikes. Do you happen to know what the base rates are like for Hep C?
BAYES' THEOREM'D
Can you get Hepatitis C by getting a tattoo or piercing?
A few major research studies have not shown Hepatitis C to be spread through licensed, commercial tattooing facilities. However, transmission of Hepatitis C (and other infectious diseases) is possible when poor infection-control practices are used during tattooing or piercing. Body art is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and unregulated tattooing and piercing are known to occur in prisons and other informal or unregulated settings. Further research is needed to determine if these types of settings and exposures are responsible for Hepatitis C virus transmission.
As for better-quality tattoo parlors...
When William Beaumont Hospital is having serious troubles with infection control at its main Royal Oak campus, it tells me that infections may be a problem anywhere. Beaumont isn't exactly a better-quality tattoo parlor. Beaumont is a Level One teaching hospital, with an international reputation for high quality care, and its own Department of Infectious Diseases with a couple dozen board certified specialists.
Sometimes on the internet, people use links to allow the people they're addressing to see and evaluate their sources.
How is this flamebait? AFAICT, the "Baxton meta-study" he mentions is something from 3 years ago on which Jane Baxton is a fourth author, and which does not support the 500% claim except in a certain subgroup that happens to contain people who got prison tattoos FFS. And I can find nothing online about infection control problems at that hospital.
U mad bro?
He didn't berate anyone. All he did was state his opinion - and he was much more reasonable in stating his opinion than you have been in stating yours, several times.
the tone of your response was wildly disproportionate to the original comment, which was fairly innocuous. thus, the pushback.
That's different. I suspect we have all been there.
I was thinking the same thing.
Good luck getting a job?? Seriously. Ever hear of a dress shirt?
Clippers?
Go Mud Hens!
Now my hometown team in the Railriders( Yankees AAA Team)
Hate to be nerdy stat dweeb but actually two good things have come out of that school in ohio.
Howard Yerges (QB, 1944-1947) and J.T. White (C, 1946-1947). They both transferred from there to Michigan and starred on the 1947 National Championship team.

Just curious. Why do you have trans-cinnamaldehyde set as your image?
I love the smell of cinnamon and seeing how its the regent used in extracts, foods and oils I can't get enough of the smell. Just a huge fan of cinnamon that's all. Plus, I got bored with my Big Ten avatar so it was time for something new.
go to your room for that.
can't stop giggling. shame on me, too.
...I was thinking about getting Back to the Future. Back, because it's on my back; and future because I'm the kind of guy who who likes to look ahead, into the future. I just think a tattoo should mean something, ya know? Full of Michael Scott quotes today. Full of 'em.
Woof.
