Andrei Kirilenko gets a new tattoo.

I don't really like it. Art work itself looks ok alone but I don't think it's a good tattoo for his body type. He should have consulted with Bird Man.

This is Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko's(notes) new tattoo. It takes up his entire back, it was done by a person whose Twitter account can be found here, and it's ridiculously frightening.

it's not really ridiculously frightening to me. perhaps the writer doesn't watch much basketball or ufc.

It looks like a bat. perhaps, a dragon.

It's a paladin on a dragon. (article)

Tweet from his tattoo artist:



An article three years ago about Channing Frye where he mentioned AK's WoW character:

He is goofy, a student of pop culture (“VH1 is seriously competing for best channel ever”) and a bit of a nerd (his (Frye) primary World of Warcraft character is “Dookiedrawls,” a level 76 gnome frost mage—though he maintains he’s not as serious about the game as Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko, who has a “really nice” level 80 paladin).

And this:

Goddam freak should play better basketball for the money he earns.

Too busy working on his WoW character

When I saw this,it reminded me of a darker version of this:

Holy fuck, that's a crazy tattoo.

Looks cool, but I can't imagine why you'd want that tattooed on you so large.
