Worst Tattoos in the NBA, Past and Present: #19

19.  Matt Barnes:

Since Matt Barnes entered the NBA in 2003, he has played for 9 teams. He has occasionally been effective off the bench, but has been mostly known for his "character issues" and uncontrollable temper. Well, just from looking at his face in the last picture, you can tell that he might not be the most constructive member of a locker room, maybe playing a part in his inability to stick with one team. However, I would not be surprised if all 9 teams just got sick of his tattoos. The praying hands with the word "Believe" smack on the side of his neck. The conspicuous Rolling Stones tongue tattoo in full blown color that the entire world can see every time he takes a shot. The numerous angels on his front, random quotes fill in every open space. These all combine to make a pretty bad collage of tattoos for Barnes. But maybe the most scary part, once again judging by his face in the last picture, is the many many more tattoos he is likely to get.

Worst Tattoos in the NBA, Past and Present: #20

Welcome to the first installment of "Worst Tattoos in the NBA." First of all, there are so many bad ones, that it was really hard to come up with this list, especially its order. Nevertheless, a new post each day will contain another player(s) and his/their horrendous tattoos. A link to each of the previous posts will be provided as well. I hope you all enjoy cringing at these tattoos and criticizing my rankings!

20.  Stephon Marbury:

Marbury played for five franchises in the Timberwolves, Nets, Suns, Knicks, and Celtics, but was most known, especially later in his career, for the half-star tattoo smack on the side of his fully-bald head. To be honest, it looks horrendous, but he probably likes having people stare and gawk at his head wherever he goes. Marbury also appears to be sporting some type of ribbon or chain wrapped around his left arm. Unless he was going for the ex-convict look (which is entirely possible), he might experience second thoughts on that one sooner rather than later. To top it off, he has his own name written on his right shoulder, some Chinese characters and the word "CHINA" on that same left arm that is in bondage from the chains, and some other words in pictures filling out his arms and neck. All in all, Marbury's tattoos are not the worst in the NBA, but they are still pretty bad.
