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.
Tattoos are never my thing. But this is just, wow.
I just don't understand why people want to get tattoos like that...
Yeah. YOU don't get it. And I bet Trey doesn't give a shit if you "get" his ink or not. And your understanding of why someone gets a tat makes no difference to anyone. Live and let live. /end rant
and why YOU like/got them instead of berating the other poster? He/she was just sharing their thoughts.
My sleeves are short and attached to my shirt. My one tattoo is of a bottle of Makers Mark. It was my fathers drink of choice. Please excuse my defense of a persons right to put whatever they want on their own body. I feel ever so terrible for hurting your e-feelings. Does my tattoo offend you? Would it if it were on my forearm? On my neck? Please tell me what is acceptable art and where it is acceptable to display said art. Either that, or let me do me and I'll let you do you.
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.
The generally-recognized increase in risk for hepatitis C is about five times over the general population, using multivariate regression to control for all of the other risky behaviors in the tattoo populace.
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.
for now, but I appreciate the offer.
U mad bro?
Just a little. I'm sure I will get over it, just as soon as Trey Burke publicly states that he likes Ann Arbor more than his hometown and my feelings are un-hurt.
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.
First of all, I didn't say anyone was berating anyone else. I think that if you really look at what I said, it was all pretty reasonable. It's my opinion that people can get whatever ink they want and the constant need for people to voice their lack of understanding/approval of tattoos gets to me. As I said before, live and let live.
You're mad about something super important, with huge cultural implications.
People on message boards with varying opinions are really messing with Trey Burke's rights, man!!!!!
Stop the madness!! Stop the madness!!!
This wasn't a game I was trying to play, I'm not one to try to start shit on the internet and this is a serious request. If someone could say exactly what I said that they disagree with, then I could simply agree to disagree. I was laying the snark on pretty thick with a couple comments, but did anyone actually take offense to what was said?
the tone of your response was wildly disproportionate to the original comment, which was fairly innocuous. thus, the pushback.
Thank you. I don't even need to agree to disagree because that is a fair assessment. I'll say that I was having a very similar conversation with my family after a few too many ignorant comments about a certain NBA player's tattoos earlier and I was already a little heated about the subject. I stand by my comments and won't take any of them back but also realize I could have conveyed my thoughts in a much better way.
That's different. I suspect we have all been there.
I was thinking the same thing.
The irony of ranting on another for ranting on another, all in a "live and let live" email, is amazing.
same here. I had a student get inked up like that. all I was thinking was good luck getting a job.
however, trey is going to be earning millions. at least he doesn't look like Birdman.
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)
Some good things come out of Ohio, even Columbus. But nothing good comes out of Ohio State. Trey is proof of that.
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.
I love the smell of vagina...looks like I found my next avatar!
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.
Ann Arbor on the other arm!?
Sorta appreciate you bringing this abomination to my attention, but no way can I upvote this. Officially shootin' the messenger
Tells you all you need to know.
All rivalries aside, Trey actually existed before he came to Ann Arbor. If that represents where he came from, I think it's a nice addition to his ink collection.
