OT: How hard is it to remove a tattoo? Gotta love Zavier, but we need him to be Pure Michigan. /s

Sophomore guard Zavier Simpson literally licked his fingers when he found out he would be matched up with Michigan State guard Cassius Winston.

is that it is a medical procedure. The daughter of a friend had one removed (I know because my old friend regaled me with the story), and the procedure was quite expensive, the number that sticks in my mind is $10,000, but from what he said it was a good size tattoo.  Good luck.

Medical procedure, yes.  Also not a short one.  I sat for 12 hour-long sessions over the course of a year to get the one on my back removed - total cost was right around $2500...it was roughly 7x9" in size and what they considered to be a "large" tattoo.

Turns out you CAN wipe way mistakes you made when you were 18, its just a long and very painful process.

Using context clues about his reference to a state and referencing renouncing his birthplace, I'm pretty sure MGlobules was trying to respond to the original post (and not KoolAid's). However, don't let me get in the way of some good internet outrage. :)

He clearly isn’t pure Michigan right now? Because he can celebrate where he is from and still love Michigan? He is from Ohio, so do we really need to list all the athletes for Ohio who went to Michigan?

My years on the blog do give me a general, rational notion as to what should be the topic of a thread (seems most agree on here). Would I care if it was a comment in some general thread relating to UM bball? No. Is this substance what you want to see for threads? I guess if we want people to just start creating threads for every thought that enters their minds then this is thread worthy.

He wanted to go to MSU like his cousin Walton (yes, the Walton who lived with Izzo and allegedly assaulted that woman). Walton is also from Lima, Ohio. He was also a huge Xavier lean until they had a PG (Goodin - who UM was also recruiting) who committed. OSU offered Zavier, but he chose the good guys. I don't think MSU ever offered as they were holding out for Winston.

The best is the "back tattoo age progression" about halfway through.  I went to the Guns n Roses show last year, and while the concert was epic, it was obvious that the hot metal chicks from the 80's were "rode hard and put away wet", and the tattoos had "stretched".  Or put another way - if they jumped on the hood of Whitesnake's car today, they certainly would cause a dent...
