How can college athletes afford all the tattoos

[KillerVee]

Are you the one that has the peacock or some colorful stuff around your arm/shoulder?

If you got that for free, that is impressive!

The peacock was done for free and the portrait on my right arm was $250 for 6 hours of work because of the "family" discount. At the time of these tattoos, my current roommate was still married to the guy who did my peacock feather and I had been babysitting for them a lot. And the portrait was done by another guy in the same shop.

I also got my nose pierced for free at another shop because I was so "nice!"

It's their stuff, they should be able to do whatever they want with it

Did the athletes pay for the memorabilia?

They earned them. They didn't come free.

I mean, honestly? If I had grown up in a shitty environment, excelled in athletics and was given a free ride and the opportunity to get a bunch of "cool" swag for free (even if I knew it was "wrong" according to the rules), I'd have a hard time not trading stuff I get more of for stuff I couldn't afford...

They all live together and don't use up all the money they get for room and board through their scholarships then they have all this left over money to buy dumbass shit like motorcycles and tattoos. Thats what they spent it on here anyway..

All I know is that the players from the texico unicorns pay for theirs by blowing the tattoo artist.

Most of them aren't done in tattoo shops from what I understand. They really aren't as expensive as you would think when you aren't having to help pay for the overhead at a tattoo studio.
