Inked NBA

Milwaukee Bucks rookie “Mamu” has followed InkedNBA since his Seton Hall days. He joins us today with his artist Inkmanb. From cultural icons like Allen Iverson to 50 Cent we talk some of his first influencers.

Growing up with strict parents he recalls his first tattoo and how he had to hide it from his dad for months. Drawing inspiration from some of the world’s greatest artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, Mamu thinks of these visionaries every time he gets tatted and Sandro explains the inspiration and sentimental meaning behind his Kung Fu Panda tattoos.

He’s one of the only rookies who came into the league with a full leg sleeve. He shouts out the Ball brothers, James Bouknight, and Kelly Oubre Jr. for the work they have. It’s not only art, but expression, and meaning as well.

Three-Time NBA champion Danny Green joins the podcast to talk about his latest championship sleeve and how he was able to get tattooed by three of the best artist in the sports world, Steve Wiebe, Steve Butcher and GangaTattoos. He brings us behind the scenes and talks about the insane amount of detail they put into each piece. We also talk about his superhero sleeve that him and Steve worked on last summer.

This week we talk with Portland Trailblazers forward Nassir Little. From his mom influencing him to get his first tattoo at 17 to looking up to guys like Birdman. Designing your ink so it fits on the court – the ultimate creativity within the game.
